What's the easiest way to access the conversation transcript from an agent object (Agent class)

Thanks for reaching out, Yousri. I'm an AI assistant and I'm here to help. Give me a moment while I research this topic.
Thanks — I’m responding to your question about the easiest way to access the conversation transcript from an
Agent
object. The simplest approach is to read the agent’s session history via
session.history
on the
AgentSession
associated with the agent.
session.history
returns the full conversation history as a chronological list of messages (both user inputs and agent responses) and is the canonical source of truth for the transcript. Example (Python):
Copy code
# Access full conversation history from within the agent
full_history = context.session.history
If you need real-time updates as messages arrive, listen for the
conversation_item_added
event — it fires whenever a new message is added, letting you process or stream transcript items as they occur. Notes: •
session.history
persists across agent handoffs and contains the full transcript. • The LLM chat context may be truncated, so rely on
session.history
for the complete record. If you want, tell me: • Which language or SDK you’re using (Python, JavaScript, etc.), or • Whether you need the transcript in a specific format (plain text, JSON, or exported file), and I’ll provide a tailored code example.
