3. Algorithm — Core Algorithms

3.1 ReAct Execution Loop

The core loop of AgentSphere follows the ReAct (Reasoning + Acting) pattern, combining the LLM's reasoning ability with tool execution ability:

ReAct execution loop

Message structure:

[
  {role: "system",    content: "You are a browser assistant..."},
  {role: "user",      content: "Help me check the weather in Guangzhou"},
  {role: "assistant", tool_calls: [{id: "call_1", name: "navigate", args: "..."}}]},
  {role: "tool",      tool_call_id: "call_1", content: '{"tabId": 42, "url": "..."}'},
  {role: "assistant", content: "The weather in Guangzhou tomorrow is..."},
  {role: "user",      content: "What should I prepare for going out tomorrow"},
  ...
]

3.2 Multi-level Memory System

AgentSphere implements a multi-level memory system covering the full chain from persistence to runtime caching:

Multi-level Memory System

Memory Level Details

Level Storage Lifecycle Capacity Purpose
L1: KernelContext ConcurrentHashMap During run (TTL 30min) 1 per session Tool list, model route
L2: Messages ArrayList During run Dozens of turns LLM input/output
L3: LLM Interaction PostgreSQL Permanent Configurable Debugging & audit
L4: Tool Call PostgreSQL Permanent Unlimited Replay, observation
L5: Compact Record PostgreSQL Permanent Cumulative Context compression
L6: Session PostgreSQL Permanent 1 per session Metadata

3.2.1 Context Assembly

HistoryLoader is responsible for loading historical messages from persistent storage and assembling them into the LLM context:

3.2.3 Tool Call Record State Machine

Tool call record state machine

Each record contains:

  • callId — Tool call ID generated by the LLM (e.g., call_abc123)
  • argumentsJson — Original input arguments
  • compressedArguments — Compressed version of input JSON (write-time compression)
  • artifact — Original return result
  • compressedArtifact — Compressed version of result JSON (write-time compression)
  • Used by HistoryLoader for replay, observation panel display, and auditing

3.2.4 Tool Result Compression Strategy

jsonCompress(node, depth, maxValueChars) {
  if (depth > 5) return "[deep nested]";

  if (node instanceof Map) {
    // Recursively compress each value
    return map.mapValues(v -> jsonCompress(v, depth+1, maxValueChars))
  }

  if (node instanceof List) {
    if (list.size() <= 5) return list.map(v -> jsonCompress(v, depth+1))
    // Large array: keep first 3 + total count
    return { _count: 13, _showing: 3, items: [...] }
  }

  if (node instanceof String) {
    if (text.length() <= maxValueChars) return text
    // Long string: first 100 + ellipsis + last 50
    return text[0..100] + "...[+ N chars]...\n" + text[-50..-1]
  }

  return node // Number, Boolean pass-through
}

3.3 Model Routing and Fallback

AgentSphere provides a multi-level model fault-tolerance mechanism to ensure high availability of LLM calls.

Routing Configuration

Model routing configuration

Fallback Execution Flow

Fallback execution flow

Note: The compression budget calculation is based on the actual route's maxInputTokens, detected within the execute callback. See the formula below for details.

Compression Budget Calculation

budget = maxInputTokens × budget-ratio (default 0.7)

Example:
  Route: GLM-4.1V-Thinking-Flash, maxInputTokens=1_000_000
  → budget = 1_000_000 × 0.7 = 700_000 tokens
  → When messages exceed 700K tokens → trigger compaction

Dynamic adjustment:
  budget-ratio: 0.5  → Triggers earlier (preserves more context quality)
  budget-ratio: 0.8  → Triggers later (saves compression overhead)

Timeout Parameters

Parameter Default Description
llm.connect-timeout 30s Timeout for connecting to LLM API
llm.read-timeout 60s Timeout for reading response
llm.stream-read-timeout 120s Stream read timeout
llm.stream-timeout 120s Total timeout for streaming calls
runner.turn-timeout 180s Total timeout for a single LLM turn

3.8 User Clarification (Human-in-the-Loop)

AgentSphere supports a User Clarification mechanism that enables the LLM to pause and explicitly ask the user for input when encountering ambiguous or decision-dependent situations, implementing a Human-in-the-Loop pattern.

Workflow

  1. LLM invocation: During execution, when the LLM needs user input (e.g., choosing between options, confirming actions, filling in missing info), it calls the built-in tool ask_clarification.
  2. Pause and notify: The run pauses and enters AWAITING_USER status. A clarification_pending SSE event is pushed to the frontend along with the clarification card (type, title, options).
  3. User response: The user can respond through the clarification card in the chat UI:
    • confirm — Confirm/Cancel binary choice
    • choice — Multiple choice selection
    • input — Free-form text input
  4. Resume execution: The system receives the response and resumes the run, delivering "[User Response to Clarification]: ..." to the LLM context. If the original run has ended, a new run is forked to continue.

Clarification Card (UI)

Clarification Card UI

Cancellation

Users can cancel a pending clarification at any time:

  • Cancel via card: Each clarification card has a Cancel button that sends a cancel signal and stops the run.
  • Cancel via sender: When there are pending clarifications, the chat input shows a stop button; clicking it cancels all pending clarifications and stops the current run.
  • Auto-cancel on new message: Sending a new message while clarifications are pending automatically cancels them first.

SSE Events

Event Trigger Effect
clarification_pending LLM calls ask_clarification tool Clarification card appears
clarification_responded User submits response Card shows ✓, run resumes
clarification_expired 30-minute TTL reached Card grays out
clarification_dismissed Run cancelled while awaiting Card shows dismissed

Real-time push of LLM call chain:

content_token     → "The weather in Guangzhou tomorrow..."
reasoning_token   → "🤔 The user is asking about weather, I need to open a weather website"
                  → "⚙️ navigate: calling..."
                  → "⚙️ navigate: succeeded ✅"

4.5 Architecture Decision Records (ADR)

Decision Solution Reason
SSE vs WebSocket Server-Sent Events One-way push requires no client confirmation, natively supported by browsers
fetch+ReadableStream vs EventSource fetch + ReadableStream EventSource cannot carry Authorization headers in MV3 Service Worker
Virtual Threads Java 21 Virtual Threads Simplifies concurrency model, one virtual thread per tool
Chrome Extension standalone deployment Independent project Decoupled from Web UI, permission isolation
Multi-emitter SSE List<SseEmitter> per session Web UI and Extension share the same SSE channel
FiberSet cancel(true) CompletableFuture.cancel(true) Effectively interrupts blocking virtual threads on timeout
Tool result write-time compression RuntimeEventListener compresses then writes to compressed_artifact HistoryLoader reads without re-compression, reducing redundant computation
Token budget-based compaction trigger shouldCompact inside runTurn's execute callback Uses the actual called model route's maxInputTokens for accuracy
Compaction cursor compactedUptoRunId marks compacted runs HistoryLoader skips compacted runs, only loads subsequent ones
Compaction protection loop Max 3 retries Prevents infinite loops when compaction fails due to network fluctuations

4.6 Performance Optimizations

4.6.1 Virtual Thread Concurrency

The runtimeAsyncExecutor was changed from a fixed thread pool (8 core threads) to per-task virtual threads. Previously, the thread pool bottleneck limited concurrent chat sessions to 8 — all pool threads blocked waiting for LLM streaming responses, causing subsequent requests to queue or get rejected. Virtual threads resolve this by being unmounted from the carrier thread during I/O waits, allowing hundreds of concurrent LLM streaming sessions without consuming OS thread resources.

File: AsyncConfig.java

4.6.2 LLM Stream Timeout Fix

Restructured KernelLlmService.stream() so the CountDownLatch.await(timeout) runs independently from the blocking modelProviderSpi.stream() call. Previously, if the HTTP stream hung, the timeout could never fire because the latch wait was placed after the blocking call.

The fix: the streaming call runs on a separate virtual thread while the current thread waits for the latch with the configured stream-timeout. On timeout, the CompletableFuture completes exceptionally immediately, freeing the caller.

File: KernelLlmService.java

4.6.3 HTTP Stream Read Timeout

Added a read timeout mechanism in ModelProviderServiceImpl.streamEvents():

  • Changed from synchronous httpClient.send() to sendAsync().orTimeout() for initial response timeout
  • Added a scheduled Thread.interrupt() for the streaming body read loop
  • Both use the stream-read-timeout (default 120s) configuration value

File: ModelProviderServiceImpl.java

4.7 Capability Extension

Adding a New Built-in Tool

@Component
public class CapabilityBuiltinToolMyTool implements CapabilityBuiltinToolSpi {
    @Override
    public BuiltinToolEnum getToolType() { return BuiltinToolEnum.MY_TOOL; }

    @Override
    public ToolInfoVO getInfo() {
        ToolInfoVO info = new ToolInfoVO();
        info.setName(BuiltinToolConstants.NAME_PREFIX + "MyTool");
        info.setDescription("Description for LLM");
        info.setParamSchema(ToolSchemaUtil.generateParamSchema(MyToolDTO.class));
        info.setResponseSchema(ToolSchemaUtil.generateParamSchema(MyToolResultVO.class));
        return info;
    }

    @Override
    public ExecuteResult execute(ExecuteContext ctx) {
        MyToolDTO dto = (MyToolDTO) ctx;
        // Implementation logic
        return new MyToolResultVO(/* result */);
    }
}

4.8 RBAC (Role-Based Access Control)

AgentSphere provides a complete RBAC permission system for multi-user management, supporting fine-grained permission control at the API level.

Permission Model

Component Description
User System users, each assigned one or more roles
Role A named collection of permissions, e.g., "Admin", "Operator", "Viewer"
Permission Single API operation, encoded as domain:action (e.g., admin:user:read, instance:run:write)

The permission check is enforced at the controller layer via @WithTenant and AuthContext to ensure multi-tenant data isolation.

npx @roovet/jira-mcp --port 3100

# 2. Add the MCP capability in the AgentSphere admin console
curl -X POST /api/v1/capability/mcp \
  -d '{"name":"Jira MCP","serverUrl":"http://localhost:3100","serverType":"streamable-http"}'

# 3. Bind it to an Agent instance
curl -X POST /api/v1/instance/instance-capabilities \
  -d '{"instanceId":1,"capabilityType":"mcp","capabilityId":1}'

# 4. Users simply send instructions in the chat
# "Help me check my unfinished tasks on Jira"
# → LLM calls MCP tool → Jira API → returns result
