using the server send event or webhook ,something like that can we update our agent context??, it should be not from the agent or client

Thanks for reaching out, Rahul. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.

using sse or webhook can we make an agent to leave and join another agent??

You're asking if SSE or webhooks can make an agent leave one session and join another. Short answer: no — LiveKit webhooks and SSE are notification-only and cannot directly command an agent to leave or join a room. What you can do instead • Agent-initiated handoff: Have the agent call a tool or return a new

Agent

instance to trigger a transfer within the agent logic. • Warm transfer / move participant: Use the LiveKit server APIs (e.g.,

move_participant

) to move a participant between rooms after a consultation/transfer workflow. • External orchestration + agent listener: Use webhooks/SSE to notify your service, store the intent in a DB or queue, and have the agent process poll or receive that event and then call

connect()

,

session.shutdown()

, or

agent

-level APIs to leave/join. Quick questions so I can give a concrete example: 1. Is your agent service in Python or Node.js? 2. Is this for voice (call transfer) or text/chat? 3. Do you want an immediate move (hard transfer) or a warm/consultation transfer?

give me a sample code of Agent-initiated handoff to an agent to leave ad another agent join a room. Have the agent call a tool or return a new

Agent

instance to trigger a transfer within the agent logic.

Responding to your request for a concrete sample showing an agent-initiated handoff that returns a new

Agent

instance (agent A hands off to agent B), below is a concise Python text/chat example you can adapt. Notes: • This example shows an agent tool that triggers a transfer by returning a new

Agent

instance; the framework will use that to perform the handoff. • Minimal surrounding setup is included (agent classes, tool registration, session start). Replace SDK-specific imports and session/room wiring with your app’s actual initialization.

# Example: Python agent-initiated handoff (text/chat)
# Replace imports with your agent framework/LiveKit agent SDK modules.

from typing import Tuple

# --- Agent definitions ---

class BaseAgent:
    async def on_message(self, session, message):
        """Handle incoming message and optionally call tools."""
        raise NotImplementedError()

class SupportAgent(BaseAgent):
    async def on_message(self, session, message):
        # Support agent handles the message normally
        await session.send_reply("SupportAgent: I can help with that.")
        return None  # No transfer

class SalesAgent(BaseAgent):
    async def on_message(self, session, message):
        # If the message needs support, initiate a handoff via tool
        if "support" in message.lower():
            # Call a tool that triggers transfer
            return await self.transfer_to_support_tool(session, message)
        await session.send_reply("SalesAgent: Tell me more about your needs.")
        return None

    # Tool that returns a new Agent instance to trigger a transfer
    async def transfer_to_support_tool(self, session, message) -> Tuple[BaseAgent, str]:
        # Optional: log or save context before transfer
        await session.send_reply("SalesAgent: I'm transferring you to Support.")
        # Create the new agent instance (SupportAgent)
        new_agent = SupportAgent()
        # Return the agent instance and an optional reason note
        return new_agent, "handoff_to_support"

# --- Agent session handling (framework shim) ---
# The framework code below demonstrates how it could accept a returned Agent
# and perform the handoff: shut down current agent in room and start new agent.

class AgentSession:
    def __init__(self, room, agent: BaseAgent):
        self.room = room
        self.agent = agent
        self.running = True

    async def start(self):
        # Start listening to messages (simplified)
        while self.running:
            message = await self._wait_for_incoming_message()
            result = await self.agent.on_message(self, message)

            # If the agent returned a new agent instance, perform the handoff
            if isinstance(result, tuple) and isinstance(result[0], BaseAgent):
                new_agent, reason = result
                await self._perform_handoff(new_agent, reason)
                # After handoff performed, stop this session loop
                break

    async def send_reply(self, text: str):
        # Send a reply into the room (replace with actual send)
        print(f"[{self.room}] reply: {text}")

    async def _wait_for_incoming_message(self) -> str:
        # Replace with real message receive; here simulated input for demo
        # In real usage this yields messages from participants in the LiveKit room
        import asyncio
        await asyncio.sleep(0.1)
        return "I need support"  # demo message that triggers transfer

    async def _perform_handoff(self, new_agent: BaseAgent, reason: str):
        # 1) Optionally persist context/state to DB or share via your service
        print(f"Handoff reason: {reason}, moving from {self.agent.__class__.__name__} to {new_agent.__class__.__name__}")

        # 2) Current agent leaves / session.shutdown() (framework-specific)
        await self._shutdown_current_agent()

        # 3) Start a new agent session in the same room (or another room as needed)
        new_session = AgentSession(self.room, new_agent)
        # Depending on your framework, you may need to spawn new_session.start() in background
        await new_session.start()

    async def _shutdown_current_agent(self):
        # Perform any cleanup (unpublish tracks, close connections)
        print(f"Shutting down agent: {self.agent.__class__.__name__}")
        self.running = False

# --- Run demo ---
import asyncio

async def demo():
    room = "room-123"
    initial_agent = SalesAgent()
    session = AgentSession(room, initial_agent)
    await session.start()

asyncio.run(demo())

How this maps to a real system • The framework’s agent session would call

connect()

/

session.shutdown()

and manage LiveKit participant lifecycle. Replace

_shutdown_current_agent

and session start logic with SDK calls that disconnect the agent participant and have the new agent connect. • Preserve and pass any necessary chat context (store in DB or attach to the new agent session) before starting the new agent so the conversation continues smoothly. If you want, I can: • Convert this to Node.js, or • Show the same flow with explicit LiveKit SDK calls for disconnecting a participant and connecting another (tell me whether you use Python or Node.js).
