Thanks — you're asking how to end just the agent_session or remove one participant while keeping others in the room. I’ll cover both options. Terminating only the agent session • Call the agent session shutdown/close on the agent-side session object. Use: ◦
session.shutdown(drain=True)
for a graceful shutdown (lets in-flight work finish), or ◦
await session.aclose()
(or equivalent
ctx.aclose()
/
ctx.shutdown()
in Node) to close immediately. • This disconnects that agent session only; other participants remain in the room. Removing a participant while keeping the room and other participants • Use the Room/Server SDK method to remove a specific participant, e.g.: ◦ Python:
await room_service_client.remove_participant(room_name="my-room", identity="participant-identity")
◦ Server SDK equivalents exist in other languages. • Only the specified participant is disconnected; the room stays active unless configured to auto-delete when all non-agent participants leave. Important notes • The room is not automatically deleted just because an agent leaves. The room may be deleted if configured to do so or when the last non-agent participant leaves. • If you want deterministic behavior around room lifetime, check room delete/config options (for example, disable auto-delete or explicitly call
delete_room()
when desired). If you tell me which SDK/language you’re using (Node, Python, or server REST) and whether you want graceful shutdown or immediate removal, I’ll provide the exact code snippet to run.
