07/24/2025, 6:55 PMctx.connect() is Called: Ensure your entrypoint function calls ctx.connect() early in its execution. For example:
async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext):
# Set up room listeners before connecting
@ctx.room.on("track_subscribed")
def on_track_subscribed(track: rtc.Track, *_):
# Handle track subscription
pass
# Connect to room - this should be called early
await ctx.connect(auto_subscribe=AutoSubscribe.AUDIO_ONLY)
1. Check for Blocking Operations: Avoid long-running synchronous operations before calling ctx.connect(). The connection should be established as early as possible in your entrypoint function.
2. Handle Exceptions Properly: Ensure that exceptions in your entrypoint don’t prevent ctx.connect() from being called. Wrap potentially failing code in try-catch blocks after establishing the connection.
3. For High Reliability Deployments: If this warning occurs intermittently in production:
◦ Run multiple servers for each agent_name to ensure availability.
◦ Ensure you’re not running other applications on the same server as your agent.
◦ Follow production deployment guidance for load balancing, auto-scaling, and worker availability.
1. Alternative: Explicit Shutdown: If your agent logic determines it should not connect to the room, call ctx.shutdown() instead to properly terminate the job without triggering the warning.
Ensure that within 10 seconds of your entrypoint function starting, you either establish a room connection with ctx.connect() or explicitly shut down the job with ctx.shutdown().

07/24/2025, 7:19 PMagent_name is super important when you're connecting participants using an access token in LiveKit. Think of it like introducing a specific friend to help you out in a room.
1. Explicit Dispatch Mechanism: When you dispatch agents via an access token, you're basically saying, "Hey, I want this specific helper to join me."
2. Agent Identification: The agent_name is like giving your helper a name tag. It tells LiveKit exactly which agent worker should jump into the room. Just make sure this name matches what's set up in the agent's WorkerOptions.
3. Protocol Requirement: The RoomAgentDispatch protocol needs the agent_name to know who's being called in - it's like the guest list for your room!
Here's a friendly example to show you how to set this up:
from livekit.api import (
AccessToken,
RoomAgentDispatch,
RoomConfiguration,
VideoGrants,
)
def create_token_with_agent_dispatch() -> str:
token = (
AccessToken()
.with_identity("my_participant")
.with_grants(VideoGrants(room_join=True, room=room_name))
.with_room_config(
RoomConfiguration(
agents=[
RoomAgentDispatch(agent_name="test-agent", metadata="my_metadata")
],
),
)
.to_jwt()
)
return token
Pro tip: If you skip adding the agent_name, LiveKit will be totally confused about which agent worker to bring into the room. It's like sending an invitation without saying who's invited!
