You subclass it, implement one async `run()` method, and create one sample either by returning its message history or by calling the current policy through an Osmosis-supported agent integration that registers the sample source. The workflow should answer one question: **given this dataset prompt, what should the agent do before the grader scores the result?** ## Base Class ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} from osmosis_ai.rollout import AgentWorkflow, AgentWorkflowContext class MyWorkflow(AgentWorkflow): async def run(self, ctx: AgentWorkflowContext) -> None: # Build and run your agent here. pass ``` The SDK shape is: ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} class AgentWorkflow[TConfig: AgentWorkflowConfig](ABC): def __init__(self, config: TConfig | None = None): self.config = config @abstractmethod async def run( self, ctx: AgentWorkflowContext[TConfig] ) -> AgentWorkflowOutput | list[dict[str, Any]] | None: raise NotImplementedError ``` `run()` is called once for each workflow execution. Construct any per-execution agent or session objects inside the method and run the agent. Then either return the sample directly or let the integration register the resulting conversation with the active `RolloutContext`. ## Workflow return value `run()` accepts three shapes, all normalized to a single sample: | Return value | Effect | | ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `AgentWorkflowOutput` | The `messages` field becomes the sample; optional `metrics` are attached | | `list[dict[str, Any]]` | Wrapped as `AgentWorkflowOutput(messages=...)` | | `None` | The SDK collects the sample from the source registered on the active `RolloutContext` | Supported integrations register a sample source for you, so most workflows return `None`: `OsmosisStrandsAgent` registers its Strands history, while `OsmosisMemorySession` registers an OpenAI Agents SDK session. Return `AgentWorkflowOutput` when you build the message history yourself: ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} from osmosis_ai.rollout import ( AgentWorkflow, AgentWorkflowContext, AgentWorkflowOutput, ) class ExplicitWorkflow(AgentWorkflow): async def run(self, ctx: AgentWorkflowContext) -> AgentWorkflowOutput: messages = [*ctx.prompt, {"role": "assistant", "content": "done"}] return AgentWorkflowOutput( messages=messages, metrics={"steps": 1.0}, ) ``` `AgentWorkflowOutput.info` is reserved and is not currently passed to graders. Use `metrics` for finite numeric sample measurements and `ctx.artifacts_dir` for files. `AgentWorkflowOutput` rejects unknown top-level fields and non-finite metric values (`NaN`, `inf`, `-inf`). The same validation runs across Local and Harbor/container execution. ## AgentWorkflowContext The `ctx` object gives the workflow its input and config: | Field | Type | Description | | ------------------- | ------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `ctx.prompt` | `list[dict[str, Any]]` | Input messages for the current dataset row | | `ctx.config` | `TConfig \| None` | Custom workflow config object, if one was provided | | `ctx.metadata` | `dict[str, Any] \| None` | Per-row metadata from the dataset's optional `metadata` column. `None` when the row has no metadata. | | `ctx.artifacts_dir` | `pathlib.Path \| None` | Per-rollout directory where you can write log, trace, and other output files. `None` when the execution environment can't provision a writable directory, so check for `None` before writing files. | If your dataset row contains `system_prompt`, `user_prompt`, and `ground_truth`, the prompt fields are assembled into `ctx.prompt`. The reference answer is not passed to the workflow; it is exposed to your grader as `ctx.label`. The same `metadata` object is available on both `AgentWorkflowContext` and `GraderContext`, so workflows and graders can read the same per-row context. Keep task answers out of `AgentWorkflow.run()`. The workflow should produce behavior; the `Grader` should decide whether that behavior deserves reward. ### Writing Artifacts Use `ctx.artifacts_dir` to write files that shouldn't be embedded in the sample payload — logs, traces, screenshots, or other large or binary outputs. Each rollout gets its own directory, but it's `None` when the environment can't provision one, so guard with `if ctx.artifacts_dir:` before writing to it — an unguarded write raises and fails the workflow. ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} from osmosis_ai.rollout import AgentWorkflow, AgentWorkflowContext class TracingWorkflow(AgentWorkflow): async def run(self, ctx: AgentWorkflowContext) -> None: if ctx.artifacts_dir: (ctx.artifacts_dir / "run.log").write_text("started\n") ... ``` After the rollout finishes, collected files appear alongside its sample in the run's **Artifacts** panel on the Osmosis Platform, mirroring the layout you write under `ctx.artifacts_dir`. Artifact collection never affects rewards or rollout status. ### Saved Trajectories Rollout servers created with `create_rollout_server()` save finished samples as [ATIF](https://www.harborframework.com/docs/agents/trajectory-format) (Agent Trajectory Interchange Format) documents alongside run artifacts. Persistence is best-effort and never changes reward or rollout status. Calling `LocalBackend.run_workflow()` or another backend method directly in a custom harness does not install this server lifecycle; that harness must save any trajectory it needs. Files land next to the artifacts directory on the platform-managed host: ``` ~/.osmosis// ├── trajectory.json # ATIF document for the rollout's sample └── artifacts/... # files you wrote under ctx.artifacts_dir ``` `RolloutSample.messages` preserves the framework-native history that graders read. For ATIF persistence, built-in integrations make a separate, best-effort normalized copy in `trajectory_messages`; normalization failure leaves the native sample intact and skips trajectory persistence. Explicit workflow output uses its returned messages for both views when they can be copied. If you build a custom sample source whose native history isn't already OpenAI chat-completions-shaped, set `RolloutSample.trajectory_messages` on the returned sample to control what gets persisted (an explicit `None` skips trajectory saving for that sample). ATIF includes `usage`, `model`, and timestamp data only when the source messages or server report provide those fields. Missing metadata stays absent; the SDK does not fabricate it. ## Model Routing Requirement LLM calls inside `run()` **must** route through the `RolloutContext` installed by the execution backend. The training cluster uses the rollout-scoped chat-completions URL from this context to serve the current policy, collect traces, and connect the reward to the sample. Use one of the supported integrations: | Framework | Use | Integration objects | | ----------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | | Strands Agents | Strands tools, Strands message history, migration from `strands.Agent` | `OsmosisStrandsAgent`, `OsmosisRolloutModel` | | OpenAI Agents SDK | `Runner.run`, sessions, handoffs, OpenAI-style tools | `OsmosisAgent`, `OsmosisRolloutModel`, `OsmosisMemorySession` | Do not call `litellm`, the OpenAI SDK, or another provider SDK directly with a hard-coded policy model from `run()`. Direct calls bypass the rollout context and are not compatible with training. ## Strands Pattern For Strands, pass `ctx.prompt` directly as `messages` and call `invoke_async()`: ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} from osmosis_ai.rollout import AgentWorkflow, AgentWorkflowContext from osmosis_ai.rollout.integrations.agents.strands import ( OsmosisRolloutModel, OsmosisStrandsAgent, ) class SimpleStrandsWorkflow(AgentWorkflow): async def run(self, ctx: AgentWorkflowContext) -> None: agent = OsmosisStrandsAgent( name="simple-strands-agent", model=OsmosisRolloutModel(params={"temperature": 1.0}), messages=ctx.prompt, callback_handler=None, ) await agent.invoke_async() ``` Constructing `OsmosisStrandsAgent` inside `run()` binds it to the active rollout context and registers the agent as a sample source. See [Strands Integration](/sdk/integrations/strands) for tool examples, migration steps, and details about `OsmosisRolloutModel`. ## OpenAI Agents Pattern For OpenAI Agents, construct an `OsmosisAgent`, attach OpenAI Agents `ModelSettings`, create one `OsmosisMemorySession`, and pass that session to `Runner.run()`: ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} from agents import ModelSettings, Runner from osmosis_ai.rollout import AgentWorkflow, AgentWorkflowContext from osmosis_ai.rollout.integrations.agents.openai_agents import ( OsmosisAgent, OsmosisMemorySession, OsmosisRolloutModel, ) class SimpleOpenAIWorkflow(AgentWorkflow): async def run(self, ctx: AgentWorkflowContext) -> None: agent = OsmosisAgent( name="simple-openai-agent", instructions="Answer the user's request clearly.", model=OsmosisRolloutModel(), model_settings=ModelSettings(temperature=1.0, max_tokens=4096), ) session = OsmosisMemorySession() await Runner.run( agent, ctx.prompt, session=session, ) ``` The session is what records the OpenAI Agents SDK conversation for grading. Create it inside `run()` so it registers with the current `RolloutContext`. See [OpenAI Agents Integration](/sdk/integrations/openai-agents) for session behavior, tracing notes, and migration steps. ## Custom Configuration Custom configs extend `AgentWorkflowConfig`. Define a module-level config instance in your rollout entrypoint and pass it to the backend: ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} from osmosis_ai.rollout import ( AgentWorkflow, AgentWorkflowConfig, AgentWorkflowContext, ConcurrencyConfig, ) class SearchWorkflowConfig(AgentWorkflowConfig): name: str = "search-workflow" max_iterations: int = 8 temperature: float = 1.0 concurrency: ConcurrencyConfig = ConcurrencyConfig(max_concurrent=4) class SearchWorkflow(AgentWorkflow[SearchWorkflowConfig]): async def run(self, ctx: AgentWorkflowContext[SearchWorkflowConfig]) -> None: config = ctx.config or SearchWorkflowConfig() max_iterations = config.max_iterations temperature = config.temperature # Use these values when constructing your agent. search_workflow_config = SearchWorkflowConfig() ``` Pass the config instance explicitly to the backend constructor, for example `LocalBackend(workflow=SearchWorkflow, workflow_config=search_workflow_config)`. Eval and training TOML files do not currently set workflow config fields directly. `BaseConfig` allows extra fields, so simple rollout configs usually do not need additional Pydantic boilerplate. | Field | Type | Default | Description | | ------------- | ------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------- | | `name` | `str` | required | Identifier for the workflow | | `description` | `str \| None` | `None` | Optional description | | `concurrency` | `ConcurrencyConfig` | unlimited | Maximum concurrent workflow executions | ## Tool-Using Workflows Tool use belongs inside your agent framework, not in the backend. Define tools the way your framework expects, pass them into the Osmosis-wrapped agent, and let the integration record the resulting messages. For example, a Strands workflow can keep its tool list in config: ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} from typing import Any from strands import tool from osmosis_ai.rollout import ( AgentWorkflow, AgentWorkflowConfig, AgentWorkflowContext, ) from osmosis_ai.rollout.integrations.agents.strands import ( OsmosisRolloutModel, OsmosisStrandsAgent, ) @tool(name="search") def search_tool(query: str) -> str: """Search for information.""" return f"results for {query}" class ToolWorkflowConfig(AgentWorkflowConfig): name: str = "tool-workflow" model: Any = OsmosisRolloutModel(params={"temperature": 1.0}) tools: Any = [search_tool] max_iterations: int = 8 tool_workflow_config = ToolWorkflowConfig() class ToolWorkflow(AgentWorkflow[ToolWorkflowConfig]): async def run(self, ctx: AgentWorkflowContext[ToolWorkflowConfig]) -> None: config = ctx.config or ToolWorkflowConfig() agent = OsmosisStrandsAgent( name="search-agent", model=config.model, tools=config.tools, messages=ctx.prompt, callback_handler=None, ) for _ in range(config.max_iterations): result = await agent.invoke_async() content = result.message.get("content", []) if not any("toolUse" in block for block in content): break ``` ## Entry Point Wiring Workflow classes and config objects require explicit wiring. Select them in the backend constructor and expose that backend through the rollout server: ```python theme={"theme":{"light":"github-light","dark":"github-dark"},"languages":{"custom":["/languages/cli.json"]}} from osmosis_ai.rollout import LocalBackend from osmosis_ai.rollout.server import create_rollout_server backend = LocalBackend( workflow=SearchWorkflow, workflow_config=search_workflow_config, ) app = create_rollout_server(backend=backend) ``` Multiple concrete `AgentWorkflow` subclasses can exist in the same module; only the class passed as `workflow` runs. Submit preflight imports the entrypoint once to surface import-time errors and does not inspect the module namespace; see [Files in a Rollout](/sdk/overview#files-in-a-rollout) for when that import is skipped and what it executes locally. ## Next Steps Build a Strands-based rollout with tools and `OsmosisStrandsAgent`. Build an OpenAI Agents SDK rollout with `OsmosisAgent` and `OsmosisMemorySession`. Define reward logic for the sample your workflow produces. Submit an evaluation run to test your workflow and grader before a training run.
