Krzysztof Czerwinski a74548d3cd feat(agent): Component-based Agents (#7054)
This incremental re-architecture unifies Agent code and plugins, so everything is component-based.

## Breaking changes

- Removed command categories and `DISABLED_COMMAND_CATEGORIES` environment variable. Use `DISABLED_COMMANDS` environment variable to disable individual commands.
- Changed `command` decorator; old-style commands are no longer supported. Implement `CommandProvider` on components instead.
- Removed `CommandRegistry`, now all commands are provided by components implementing `CommandProvider`.
- Removed `prompt_config` from `AgentSettings`.
- Removed plugin support: old plugins will no longer be loaded and executed.
- Removed `PromptScratchpad`, it was used by plugins and is no longer needed.
- Changed `ThoughtProcessOutput` from tuple to pydantic `BaseModel`.

## Other changes

- Created `AgentComponent`, protocols and logic to execute them.
- `BaseAgent` and `Agent` is now composed of components.
- Moved some logic from `BaseAgent` to `Agent`.
- Moved agent features and commands to components.
- Removed check if the same operation is about to be executed twice in a row.
- Removed file logging from `FileManagerComponent` (formerly `AgentFileManagerMixin`)
- Updated tests
- Added docs

# 🛠️ Commands
Commands are a way for the agent to do anything; e.g. interact with the user or APIs and use tools. They are provided by components that implement the `CommandProvider` [⚙️ Protocol](./protocols.md). Commands are functions that can be called by the agent, they can have parameters and return values that will be seen by the agent.
```py
class CommandProvider(Protocol):
def get_commands(self) -> Iterator[Command]:
...
```
## `command` decorator
The easiest and recommended way to provide a command is to use `command` decorator on a component method and then just yield it in `get_commands` as part of your provider. Each command needs a name, description and a parameter schema - `JSONSchema`. By default method name is used as a command name, and first part of docstring for the description (before first double newline) and schema can be provided in the decorator.
### Example usage of `command` decorator
```py
# Assuming this is inside some component class
@command(
parameters={
"a": JSONSchema(
type=JSONSchema.Type.INTEGER,
description="The first number",
required=True,
),
"b": JSONSchema(
type=JSONSchema.Type.INTEGER,
description="The second number",
required=True,
)})
def multiply(self, a: int, b: int) -> str:
"""
Multiplies two numbers.
Args:
a: First number
b: Second number
Returns:
Result of multiplication
"""
return str(a * b)
```
The agent will be able to call this command, named `multiply` with two arguments and will receive the result. The command description will be: `Multiplies two numbers.`
We can provide `names` and `description` in the decorator, the above command is equivalent to:
```py
@command(
names=["multiply"],
description="Multiplies two numbers.",
parameters={
"a": JSONSchema(
type=JSONSchema.Type.INTEGER,
description="The first number",
required=True,
),
"b": JSONSchema(
type=JSONSchema.Type.INTEGER,
description="The second number",
required=True,
)})
def multiply_command(self, a: int, b: int) -> str:
return str(a * b)
```
To provide the `multiply` command to the agent, we need to yield it in `get_commands`:
```py
def get_commands(self) -> Iterator[Command]:
yield self.multiply
```
## Creating `Command` directly
If you don't want to use the decorator, you can create a `Command` object directly.
```py
def multiply(self, a: int, b: int) -> str:
return str(a * b)
def get_commands(self) -> Iterator[Command]:
yield Command(
names=["multiply"],
description="Multiplies two numbers.",
method=self.multiply,
parameters=[
CommandParameter(name="a", spec=JSONSchema(
type=JSONSchema.Type.INTEGER,
description="The first number",
required=True,
)),
CommandParameter(name="b", spec=JSONSchema(
type=JSONSchema.Type.INTEGER,
description="The second number",
required=True,
)),
],
)
```
