About the project

Agno is a framework and runtime for building, running, and managing platforms made of AI agents. Developers use its SDK, service runtime, and web interface to create agent applications with storage, integrations, APIs, and operational controls; the catalogue entries provide agent-oriented workflows and configuration for using Agno.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

agno AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 5d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Conductor Notes

When working in Conductor, you can use the .context/ directory for scratch notes or agent-to-agent handoff artifacts. This directory is gitignored.


The specs/ and docs/ directories are symlinked from external locations. For a fresh clone or new workspace, create these symlinks:

ln -s ~/code/specs specs
ln -s ~/code/docs docs

These contain private design documents and documentation that are not checked into the repository.


Virtual Environments

This project uses two virtual environments:

Environment Purpose Setup
.venv/ Development: tests, formatting, validation ./scripts/dev_setup.sh
.venvs/demo/ Cookbooks: has all demo dependencies ./scripts/demo_setup.sh

Use .venv for development tasks (pytest, ./scripts/format.sh, ./scripts/validate.sh).

Use .venvs/demo for running cookbook examples.


Testing Cookbooks

Apart from implementing features, your most important task will be to test and maintain the cookbooks in cookbook/ directory.

See cookbook/08_learning/ for the golden standard.

Quick Reference

Test Environment:

# Virtual environment with all dependencies
.venvs/demo/bin/python

# Setup (if needed)
./scripts/demo_setup.sh

# Database (if needed)
./cookbook/scripts/run_pgvector.sh

Run a cookbook:

.venvs/demo/bin/python cookbook/<folder>/<file>.py

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
