agent_options.rs

1/// Configuration options for an AI agent instance.
2///
3/// `AgentOptions` controls all aspects of agent behavior including model selection,
4/// conversation management, tool usage, and lifecycle hooks. This struct should be
5/// constructed using [`AgentOptions::builder()`] rather than direct instantiation
6/// to ensure required fields are validated.
7///
8/// # Architecture
9///
10/// The options are organized into several functional areas:
11///
12/// - **Model Configuration**: `model`, `base_url`, `api_key`, `headers`, `protocol`,
13///   `temperature`, `max_tokens`
14/// - **Conversation Control**: `system_prompt`, `max_turns`, `timeout`
15/// - **Tool Management**: `tools`, `auto_execute_tools`, `max_tool_iterations`
16/// - **Lifecycle Hooks**: `hooks` for monitoring and interception
17///
18/// # Thread Safety
19///
20/// Tools are wrapped in `Arc<Tool>` to allow efficient cloning and sharing across
21/// threads, as agents may need to be cloned for parallel processing.
22///
23/// # Examples
24///
25/// ```no_run
26/// use open_agent::AgentOptions;
27///
28/// let options = AgentOptions::builder()
29///     .model("qwen2.5-32b-instruct")
30///     .base_url("http://localhost:1234/v1")
31///     .system_prompt("You are a helpful coding assistant")
32///     .max_turns(5)
33///     .temperature(0.7)
34///     .build()
35///     .expect("Valid configuration");
36/// ```
