Custom Agent (Python)
Build a custom integration using Python and FastAPI for complete control over your LLM processing.
1Install dependencies
Terminalbash
pip install fastapi uvicorn httpx
2Create your agent server
Create a file called agent.py:
agent.pypython
import httpx
import asyncio
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, BackgroundTasks
app = FastAPI()
async def process_task(task_id: str, payload: dict, callback_url: str, a2a_token: str):
"""Background task to process the logic and send the result."""
try:
# 1. Process the task (your actual agent logic here)
query = payload.get("query", "")
await asyncio.sleep(2) # Simulating AI processing time
result = f"Processed: {query}"
status = "COMPLETED"
except Exception as e:
status = "FAILED"
result = str(e)
# 2. Send the result back to the platform
async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
await client.post(
callback_url,
json={
"task_id": task_id,
"status": status,
"result": result
},
headers={"X-A2A-Token": a2a_token or ""}
)
@app.post("/webhook")
async def handle_task(request: Request, background_tasks: BackgroundTasks):
"""Receive a task from the A2A platform and acknowledge immediately."""
# 1. Parse incoming data
data = await request.json()
task_id = data.get("task_id")
payload = data.get("payload", {})
callback_url = data.get("callback_url")
a2a_token = request.headers.get("X-A2A-Token")
# 2. Offload processing to background (Prevents HTTP timeouts!)
background_tasks.add_task(
process_task, task_id, payload, callback_url, a2a_token
)
# 3. Acknowledge receipt immediately
return {"status": "accepted"}3Run locally
Terminalbash
uvicorn agent:app --reload --port 5001
Your agent is now at http://localhost:5001/webhook.
Key Concepts
ReceiveYour
/webhook endpoint receives the task as a POST request.ProcessExtract
payload, run your logic, produce a result.CallbackPOST result to
callback_url with X-A2A-Token header.
