CapabilityMesh is the first comprehensive solution designed specifically for universal capability discovery and trust management across multiple Python agent frameworks - CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph, A2A, and custom implementations.

---

🌟 What Makes CapabilityMesh Unique?

CapabilityMesh is the FIRST and ONLY package that solves multi-framework agent discovery and collaboration.

The Problem: Framework Fragmentation

Today's multi-agent ecosystem is fragmented. Each framework operates in isolation:

❌ CrewAI agents can't discover AutoGen agents
❌ LangGraph workflows can't find A2A services
❌ No standard way to query "which agents can translate?"
❌ Manual integration required for every framework pair
❌ No trust or reputation across frameworks
❌ Reinventing discovery for each new agent

The CapabilityMesh Solution

✅ Universal discovery across ALL frameworks (CrewAI, AutoGen, LangGraph, A2A, custom)
✅ Semantic capability matching with natural language queries
✅ Built-in trust and reputation management
✅ Multiple storage backends (in-memory, SQLite, Redis)
✅ A2A protocol compatible
✅ Zero-config default, production-ready optional features
✅ 5 lines of code to working multi-agent discovery

---

🚀 Quick Start (5 Lines!)

from capabilitymesh import Mesh

mesh = Mesh()  # Zero-config, works immediately!

@mesh.agent(name="translator", capabilities=["translation", "nlp"])
def translate(text: str, target_lang: str = "es") -> str:
    return f"[Translated to {target_lang}]: {text}"

# Discover agents by capability (agent registered immediately!)
agents = await mesh.discover("translation")
result = await mesh.execute(agents[0].id, "Hello world!", target_lang="es")

That's it! No configuration, no setup, no complexity. Just register and discover.

💡 Deployment Note: This example runs in a single process. For distributed systems (microservices, multi-process), see Discovery Architecture for deployment patterns.

🎯 Core Features

1. Universal Agent Discovery (The Main Value!)

Discover agents across ANY framework with natural language or exact matching:

from capabilitymesh import Mesh

mesh = Mesh()

# Register agents from different frameworks
@mesh.agent(name="summarizer", capabilities=["summarization", "nlp"])
async def summarize(text: str) -> str:
    return "Summary: " + text[:100]

@mesh.agent(name="translator", capabilities=["translation", "language"])
def translate(text: str) -> str:
    return "Translated: " + text

# Exact capability matching (works immediately)
agents = await mesh.discover("translation")
# Returns: [translator]

agents = await mesh.discover("summarization")
# Returns: [summarizer]

# Natural language discovery (enhanced with sentence-transformers/OpenAI)
# See examples/04_semantic_search.py for advanced semantic matching
agents = await mesh.discover("convert to another language")
# Can match 'translator' with enhanced embeddings

No Other Package Does This! CapabilityMesh is the ONLY solution for cross-framework capability discovery.

---

2. Multi-Framework Support (Unique!)

Register agents from ANY framework and discover them universally:

from capabilitymesh import Mesh
from crewai import Agent as CrewAgent
from autogen import AssistantAgent

mesh = Mesh()

# CrewAI agent
crew_researcher = CrewAgent(
    role="researcher",
    goal="Research topics thoroughly",
    backstory="Expert researcher"
)
await mesh.register(crew_researcher, name="crew-researcher")

# AutoGen agent
autogen_coder = AssistantAgent(
    name="coder",
    system_message="You write clean Python code"
)
await mesh.register(autogen_coder, name="autogen-coder")

# Python function
@mesh.agent(name="my-analyzer", capabilities=["analysis"])
def analyze(data):
    return {"result": "analyzed"}

# NOW: Discover across ALL frameworks!
all_agents = await mesh.list_agents()
# Returns: [crew-researcher, autogen-coder, my-analyzer]

# Find by capability - framework doesn't matter!
researchers = await mesh.discover("research information")
coders = await mesh.discover("write code")
analyzers = await mesh.discover("analysis")

Unique Value: Mix and match agents from different frameworks in the same workflow!

---

3. Built-in Trust & Reputation (Production-Ready!)

Automatically track agent reliability and filter by trust level:

from capabilitymesh import Mesh, TrustLevel

mesh = Mesh()

# Register agents
@mesh.agent(name="reliable-service", capabilities=["task-a"])
def reliable_agent(task):
    return "success"  # Always works

@mesh.agent(name="unstable-service", capabilities=["task-a"])
def unstable_agent(task):
    if random.random() < 0.5:
        raise ValueError("Failed!")
    return "success"

# Execute multiple times - trust scores update automatically!
for i in range(20):
    try:
        await mesh.execute(reliable_id, f"task-{i}")
        await mesh.execute(unstable_id, f"task-{i}")
    except:
        pass

# Check trust scores
reliable_score = await mesh.trust.get_score(reliable_id)
print(f"Reliable agent: {reliable_score.level.name}")  # HIGH or VERIFIED
print(f"Success rate: {reliable_score.success_rate:.1%}")  # ~100%

unstable_score = await mesh.trust.get_score(unstable_id)
print(f"Unstable agent: {unstable_score.level.name}")  # LOW or MEDIUM
print(f"Success rate: {unstable_score.success_rate:.1%}")  # ~50%

# Discover only trusted agents!
trusted = await mesh.discover("task-a", min_trust=TrustLevel.MEDIUM)
# Returns only agents with MEDIUM+ trust

Trust Levels: UNTRUSTED → LOW → MEDIUM → HIGH → VERIFIED (auto-calculated based on success rate)

---

4. Flexible Storage Backends (Production-Ready!)

Choose the storage that fits your needs:

from capabilitymesh import Mesh
from capabilitymesh.storage import InMemoryStorage, SQLiteStorage, RedisStorage

# Option 1: In-Memory (default, zero-config)
mesh = Mesh()  # Fast, simple, no persistence

# Option 2: SQLite (persistent, full-text search)
mesh = Mesh(storage=SQLiteStorage("agents.db"))
# Agents persist across restarts
# Built-in FTS5 full-text search

# Option 3: Redis (distributed, scalable)
mesh = Mesh(storage=RedisStorage(host="localhost", port=6379))
# Multiple instances share the same agent registry
# Perfect for microservices

# ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Redis storage requires manual registration
# Use await mesh.register() instead of @mesh.agent decorator
# See Redis Usage Notes below for details

Storage	Persistence	Search	Distribution	Best For
InMemory	No	Basic	Single	Dev, Testing
SQLite	Yes (file)	Full-text (FTS5)	Single	Production
Redis	Yes (remote)	Basic	Multi-instance	Cloud, Scale

📘 Note on Distributed Systems: Redis enables discovery across multiple processes/machines, but execution is process-local for Python functions. For true distributed execution, use A2A adapters (HTTP-based agents). See Discovery Architecture for details.

⚠️ Redis Storage - Important Usage Note

Decorators do not work with Redis storage due to async event loop timing. Use manual registration instead:

# ❌ DON'T: Decorators with Redis (causes event loop conflicts)
storage = RedisStorage(host="localhost", port=6379)
mesh = Mesh(storage=storage)

@mesh.agent(name="agent", capabilities=["math"])  # ❌ Fails!
def my_agent(x):
    return x * 2

# ✅ DO: Manual registration with Redis (works perfectly)
async def setup():
    storage = RedisStorage(host="localhost", port=6379)
    mesh = Mesh(storage=storage)

    def my_agent(x: int) -> int:
        return x * 2

    # Use await mesh.register() instead
    await mesh.register(my_agent, name="agent", capabilities=["math"])
    return mesh

# ✅ ALTERNATIVE: Decorators with InMemory (works great for dev/test)
mesh = Mesh()  # Default InMemory storage

@mesh.agent(name="agent", capabilities=["math"])  # ✅ Works!
def my_agent(x):
    return x * 2

Why? Decorators run at module import time (before async event loop exists), but Redis operations require async context. This is a Python async limitation, not a bug.

Recommendation:

• Development: Use decorators with InMemory storage
• Production with Redis: Use await mesh.register()

---

5. Semantic Search (Smart Discovery!)

Find agents using natural language queries. The default keyword-based embedder provides basic matching, with enhanced semantic search available via sentence-transformers or OpenAI embeddings:

from capabilitymesh import Mesh

mesh = Mesh()  # Semantic search enabled by default!

# Register agents with descriptive capabilities
@mesh.agent(
    name="sentiment-analyzer",
    capabilities=["sentiment-analysis", "emotion-detection", "nlp"],
)
async def analyze_sentiment(text: str):
    return {"sentiment": "positive", "confidence": 0.95}

@mesh.agent(
    name="entity-extractor",
    capabilities=["entity-extraction", "ner", "nlp"],
)
def extract_entities(text: str):
    return ["person", "organization", "location"]

# Natural language queries
agents = await mesh.discover("understand the mood of customer reviews")
# Returns: [sentiment-analyzer] - semantic match!

agents = await mesh.discover("find people and places mentioned in text")
# Returns: [entity-extractor] - semantic match!

agents = await mesh.discover("nlp")
# Returns: [sentiment-analyzer, entity-extractor] - both match

How it works: Uses TF-IDF keyword embeddings by default (no external dependencies). Upgrade to sentence-transformers or OpenAI embeddings for even better results!

---

6. Advanced Capability Schema (Production-Ready!)

Define rich capabilities with versioning, constraints, and metadata:

from capabilitymesh import (
    Capability,
    CapabilityVersion,
    CapabilityConstraints,
    SemanticMetadata,
    CapabilityType,
    IOFormat,
)

# Define a structured capability with full specifications
capability = Capability(
    name="translate-en-es",
    description="Translate English text to Spanish",
    capability_type=CapabilityType.STRUCTURED,
    version=CapabilityVersion.from_string("2.1.0"),

    # Performance constraints
    constraints=CapabilityConstraints(
        max_response_time_ms=100,
        max_cost_per_call=0.001,
        min_availability=0.999,
        rate_limit_per_minute=1000,
    ),

    # Semantic metadata for better discovery
    semantic=SemanticMetadata(
        tags=["translation", "nlp", "spanish"],
        categories=["Natural Language Processing"],
        domains=["linguistics", "localization"],
    ),
)

# Register agent with rich capability
@mesh.agent(name="professional-translator", capabilities=[capability])
async def translate(text: str, target_lang: str = "es"):
    return f"Translated: {text}"

Capabilities include:

• Semantic versioning with compatibility checking
• Performance constraints (latency, cost, SLA)
• Input/output schemas (JSON Schema support)
• Semantic metadata for better discovery
• Deprecation notices

🎨 Complete Example: Multi-Agent Workflow

import asyncio
from capabilitymesh import Mesh, Capability, TrustLevel

async def main():
    # Initialize mesh with persistent storage
    mesh = Mesh(storage=SQLiteStorage("multi_agent.db"))

    # Register a document processing pipeline
    @mesh.agent(name="pdf-extractor", capabilities=["text-extraction", "pdf"])
    def extract_text(pdf_path: str) -> str:
        return f"Extracted text from {pdf_path}"

    @mesh.agent(name="summarizer", capabilities=["summarization", "nlp"])
    async def summarize(text: str) -> str:
        await asyncio.sleep(0.1)  # Simulate async processing
        return f"Summary: {text[:100]}..."

    @mesh.agent(name="translator", capabilities=["translation", "nlp"])
    def translate(text: str, target_lang: str = "es") -> str:
        return f"[{target_lang}] {text}"

    # Process a document through the pipeline
    pdf_path = "document.pdf"

    # Step 1: Extract text
    extractors = await mesh.discover("extract text from pdf")
    text = await mesh.execute(extractors[0].id, pdf_path)
    print(f"Extracted: {text}")

    # Step 2: Summarize
    summarizers = await mesh.discover("summarize text")
    summary = await mesh.execute(summarizers[0].id, text)
    print(f"Summary: {summary}")

    # Step 3: Translate
    translators = await mesh.discover("translate to Spanish")
    translated = await mesh.execute(translators[0].id, summary, target_lang="es")
    print(f"Translated: {translated}")

    # Check trust scores
    for agent in [extractors[0], summarizers[0], translators[0]]:
        score = await mesh.trust.get_score(agent.id)
        print(f"{agent.name}: {score.level.name} ({score.success_rate:.0%} success)")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    asyncio.run(main())
