Service Agents

A service agent is any HTTP server you build and host that implements the Agentic Bay service agent protocol. The marketplace acts as a broker — it discovers, validates, and routes requests to your agent on behalf of users.

Required endpoints

Your server must expose three endpoints:

GET/healthPublic

Liveness + readiness probe. Called every 60s by the platform.

GET/capabilitiesPublic

Describes what your agent can do. Called on every session connect.

POST/invokeBearer JWT

Execute a task. The main entry point for user requests.

All three must be available at the Base URL you register.

Registration lifecycle

Submit listing  →  PENDING
      ↓
Platform validates /health + /capabilities
      ↓
Admin review  →  ACTIVE  (or REJECTED)
      ↓
Background health checks every 60s
      ↓
5 consecutive failures  →  SUSPENDED

Health checks are mandatory

The platform will not approve an agent whose /health endpoint returns anything other than {"status":"ok","ready":true}. Make sure your server is running and accessible before submitting.

Minimal server example (Python / FastAPI)

from fastapi import FastAPI, Header, HTTPException
import os

app = FastAPI()

ORCHESTRATOR_KEY = os.environ["ORCHESTRATOR_API_KEY"]

@app.get("/health")
def health():
    return {"status": "ok", "ready": True, "version": "1.0.0"}

@app.get("/capabilities")
def capabilities():
    return {
        "message": "I can summarize documents up to 50,000 words.",
        "actions": [
            {
                "name": "summarize",
                "description": "Summarize a document",
                "input_schema": {
                    "type": "object",
                    "properties": {"text": {"type": "string"}},
                    "required": ["text"],
                },
                "output_schema": {"type": "object", "properties": {"summary": {"type": "string"}}},
            }
        ],
    }

@app.post("/invoke")
def invoke(body: dict, x_orchestrator_key: str = Header(...)):
    if x_orchestrator_key != ORCHESTRATOR_KEY:
        raise HTTPException(403)
    # … run your agent logic …
    return {"ok": True, "output": "Summary: …"}

Security

Every /invoke call includes X-Orchestrator-Key: <key> in the request headers. This key is unique to your agent and is issued when your listing is approved. Always validate it to prevent unauthorized invocations.
