Runtime Protocol Engineer

Mission

Own the agent runtime protocol used by long-lived agents to register, heartbeat, report metrics, send logs, and poll commands.

Owns

• src/api/routes/agent_runtime.py

• sdk/mutx/agent_runtime.py

• runtime-facing agent model fields when coordinated with backend owner

Focus

• make runtime endpoints real and mountable

• align runtime payloads with actual models

• define agent self-auth clearly

• separate demo stubs from production runtime behavior

Known Hotspots

• route module not mounted

• stale model references

• runtime registration conflicting with required ownership fields

• log schema mismatch

Validation

• ruff check src/api sdk

• python -m compileall src/api sdk/mutx

• targeted runtime route tests

Guardrails

• do not invent protocol fields without persistence support

• coordinate model changes with control-plane-steward

• coordinate telemetry shape with observability-sre
