## 📋 Phase 2 Specification (Agent Integration)

### Components to Build

#### 1. agent_filter Service

Location: `services/agent-filter/`

Purpose: Security and routing layer for agent messages

Endpoints: - `POST /internal/filter/message` — Filter incoming message - `GET /internal/filter/rules/{microdao_id}` — Get rules

Logic:

    def filter_message(event: MessageCreatedEvent) -> FilterDecision:
        # Check permissions
        if not is_agent_member(event.channel_id, "agent:sofia"):
            return deny("not_member")

        # Check content
        if contains_spam(event.content):
            return deny("spam")

        # Check rate limit
        if too_frequent(event.channel_id):
            return deny("rate_limit")

        # Select agent
        agent = select_best_agent(event)
        return allow(agent.id)

NATS: - Subscribe: `messaging.message.created` - Publish: `agent.filter.decision`

#### 2. DAGI Router Extension

Location: `services/dagi-router/`

Add routing rules:

    rules:
      - name: messaging.inbound
        trigger: agent.filter.decision
        condition: decision == 'allow'
        action:
          type: invoke_agent
          agent_id: "{{ target_agent_id }}"
          entrypoint: channel_message

Actions: - Parse `agent.filter.decision` events - Create `AgentInvocation` - Send to Agent Runtime

#### 3. Agent Runtime Channel Integration

Location: `services/agent-runtime/`

Add channel context reader:

    async def read_channel_context(channel_id: str, limit: int = 50):
        # Call messaging-service internal API
        messages = await http.get(
            f"/internal/messaging/channels/{channel_id}/messages?limit={limit}"
        )
        return messages

    async def post_agent_reply(agent_id: str, channel_id: str, text: str):
        # Call messaging-service internal API
        await http.post(
            f"/internal/agents/{agent_id}/post-to-channel",
            json={"channel_id": channel_id, "text": text}
        )

Agent Execution Flow: 1. Receive invocation from DAGI Router 2. Read channel context (last 50 messages) 3. Query Agent Memory (RAG) 4. Build prompt (system + context + memory) 5. Call LLM Proxy 6. Execute tools (if needed) 7. Post reply via messaging-service

#### 4. messaging-service Extensions

Add internal endpoints:

GET /internal/messaging/channels/{channel_id}/messages

    @app.get("/internal/messaging/channels/{channel_id}/messages")
    async def get_channel_messages_internal(
        channel_id: UUID,
        limit: int = 50,
        conn = Depends(get_db)
    ):
        # No auth (internal only)
        messages = await conn.fetch(
            "SELECT * FROM messages WHERE channel_id = $1 LIMIT $2",
            channel_id, limit
        )
        return [dict(m) for m in messages]

Already implemented:

    @app.post("/internal/agents/{agent_id}/post-to-channel")
    async def agent_post_to_channel(...):
        # Implemented in Phase 1 ✅

#### 5. NATS Event Publishing

Update messaging-service:

    import nats

    nats_client = await nats.connect(NATS_URL)

    # After indexing message:
    await nats_client.publish(
        "messaging.message.created",
        json.dumps({
            "channel_id": str(channel_id),
            "matrix_event_id": matrix_event_id,
            "sender_id": sender_id,
            "sender_type": sender_type,
            "microdao_id": microdao_id,
            "created_at": created_at.isoformat()
        }).encode()
    )

Update matrix-gateway:

    # After receiving Matrix event:
    await nats_client.publish(
        "integration.matrix.message",
        json.dumps({
            "room_id": room_id,
            "event_id": event_id,
            "sender_matrix_id": sender,
            "type": event_type,
            "content": content
        }).encode()
    )
