## Capabilities

The Agents SDK provides:

- **Persistent state** — SQLite-backed, auto-synced to clients via `setState`
- **Callable RPC** — `@callable()` methods invoked over WebSocket
- **Scheduling** — One-time, recurring (`scheduleEvery`), and cron tasks
- **Workflows** — Durable multi-step background processing via `AgentWorkflow`
- **Durable execution** — `runFiber()` / `stash()` for work that survives DO eviction
- **Queue** — Built-in FIFO queue with retries via `queue()`
- **Retries** — `this.retry()` with exponential backoff and jitter
- **MCP integration** — Connect to MCP servers or build your own with `createMcpHandler`
- **Email handling** — Receive and reply to emails with secure routing
- **Streaming chat** — `AIChatAgent` with resumable streams, message persistence, tools
- **Server-driven messages** — `saveMessages`, `waitUntilStable` for proactive agent turns
- **React hooks** — `useAgent`, `useAgentChat` for client apps
- **Observability** — `diagnostics_channel` events for state, RPC, schedule, lifecycle
- **Push notifications** — Web Push + VAPID delivery from agents
- **Webhooks** — Receive and verify external webhooks
- **Voice** (experimental) — STT/TTS via `@cloudflare/voice`
- **Browser tools** (experimental) — CDP-powered browsing via `agents/browser`
- **Think** (experimental) — Higher-level chat agent via `@cloudflare/think`

## FIRST: Verify Installation

```bash
npm ls agents  # Should show agents package
```

If not installed:
```bash
npm install agents
```

For chat agents:
```bash
npm install agents @cloudflare/ai-chat ai @ai-sdk/react
```

## Wrangler Configuration

```jsonc
{
  "compatibility_flags": ["nodejs_compat"],
  "durable_objects": {
    "bindings": [{ "name": "MyAgent", "class_name": "MyAgent" }]
  },
  "migrations": [{ "tag": "v1", "new_sqlite_classes": ["MyAgent"] }]
}
```

**Gotchas:**
- Do NOT enable `experimentalDecorators` in tsconfig (breaks `@callable`)
- Never edit old migrations — always add new tags
- Each agent class needs its own DO binding + migration entry
- Add `"ai": { "binding": "AI" }` for Workers AI

## Agent Class

```typescript
import { Agent, routeAgentRequest, callable } from "agents";

type State = { count: number };

export class Counter extends Agent<Env, State> {
  initialState = { count: 0 };

  validateStateChange(nextState: State, source: Connection | "server") {
    if (nextState.count < 0) throw new Error("Count cannot be negative");
  }

  onStateUpdate(state: State, source: Connection | "server") {
    console.log("State updated:", state);
  }
