WS3 — Rust SDK Documentation

Target file: docs/engineering/11-sdk-guide.md

Operation: Append the following complete section to the end of docs/engineering/11-sdk-guide.md, after the final line of ## 6. SDK Contribution Guide — Adding a New Endpoint.


Instructions to Developer

Append the following Markdown verbatim to the end of docs/engineering/11-sdk-guide.md. Do not modify any existing content. The new section is ## 6. Rust SDK (the current section 6 becomes section 7 — renumber it as part of this change).

Renaming instruction: Change the existing heading ## 6. SDK Contribution Guide — Adding a New Endpoint to ## 7. SDK Contribution Guide — Adding a New Endpoint before appending. The new Rust SDK section takes the ## 6 slot.


Content to Insert (before the existing Section 6, which becomes Section 7)

Insert the following after the Java SDK section (## 5. Java SDK) and before the existing contribution guide (which becomes ## 7):

## 6. Rust SDK

The Rust SDK (`sdk-rust/`) is a production-grade, async-first client for the SentryAgent.ai AgentIdP API. It provides full coverage of the 14 API endpoints across agent identity, OAuth 2.0 token management, credential rotation, audit logs, the public marketplace, and agent-to-agent (A2A) delegation.

**Requirements:** Rust 1.75+ (stable), `tokio` runtime.

---

### Installation

Add the crate to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
sentryagent-idp = "1.0"
tokio = { version = "1.35", features = ["full"] }

The crate uses reqwest with rustls-tls (no OpenSSL dependency) and serde for JSON serialisation.


Authentication

The Rust SDK uses the OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials grant, managed transparently by TokenManager. You never call TokenManager directly — it is embedded in AgentIdPClient and invoked automatically before every request.

Token refresh behaviour:

  • The first API call triggers a POST /oauth2/token request with grant_type=client_credentials.
  • The returned token is cached behind an async tokio::sync::Mutex.
  • Subsequent calls within the token lifetime return the cached token without a network round trip.
  • The cache expires 60 seconds before the server-reported expires_in, ensuring tokens never expire mid-flight.
  • The Mutex guarantees only one refresh happens even when many tokio tasks call get_token() concurrently.

Environment variable construction:

use sentryagent_idp::AgentIdPClient;

// from_env() reads AGENTIDP_API_URL, AGENTIDP_CLIENT_ID, AGENTIDP_CLIENT_SECRET
let client = AgentIdPClient::from_env()?;

Explicit construction:

use sentryagent_idp::AgentIdPClient;

let client = AgentIdPClient::new(
    "https://api.sentryagent.ai",
    "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
    "sk_live_...",
);
Environment Variable Required Purpose
AGENTIDP_API_URL Yes Base URL of the AgentIdP API
AGENTIDP_CLIENT_ID Yes OAuth 2.0 client identifier
AGENTIDP_CLIENT_SECRET Yes OAuth 2.0 client secret

Complete Working Example

The following example covers the full agent identity lifecycle: register → generate credentials → issue token → retrieve agent → list audit logs → delete agent.

use sentryagent_idp::{
    AgentIdPClient, AgentIdPError,
    AuditLogFilters, MarketplaceFilters, RegisterAgentRequest,
};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Build client from environment variables.
    // Requires: AGENTIDP_API_URL, AGENTIDP_CLIENT_ID, AGENTIDP_CLIENT_SECRET
    let client = AgentIdPClient::from_env()?;

    // ── Register a new agent ──────────────────────────────────────────────────
    let agent = client.register_agent(RegisterAgentRequest {
        name: "my-screener-agent".to_owned(),
        description: Some("Screens resumes using ML".to_owned()),
        agent_type: "screener".to_owned(),
        capabilities: vec!["resume:read".to_owned(), "classify".to_owned()],
        metadata: None,
    }).await?;

    println!("Registered: {} (DID: {})", agent.id, agent.did);

    // ── Generate credentials for the agent ───────────────────────────────────
    let creds = client.generate_credentials(&agent.id).await?;
    println!("Client ID:     {}", creds.client_id);
    println!("Client Secret: {} (store this — shown once)", creds.client_secret);

    // ── Issue a scoped token (TokenManager handles this automatically) ────────
    let token_resp = client.issue_token(&agent.id, &["agents:read", "agents:write"]).await?;
    println!("Token type: {}, expires in {}s", token_resp.token_type, token_resp.expires_in);

    // ── Retrieve the agent ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    let fetched = client.get_agent(&agent.id).await?;
    println!("Fetched: {} (public: {})", fetched.name, fetched.is_public);

    // ── List agents ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    let list = client.list_agents(Some(1), Some(10)).await?;
    println!("Total agents: {}", list.total);

    // ── Audit logs ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    let logs = client.list_audit_logs(AuditLogFilters {
        agent_id: Some(agent.id.clone()),
        event_type: None,
        from: None,
        to: None,
        page: 1,
        per_page: 10,
    }).await?;
    println!("Audit events: {}", logs.total);

    // ── Rotate credentials ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    let new_creds = client.rotate_credentials(&agent.id).await?;
    println!("New secret: {}", new_creds.client_secret);

    // ── Delete agent ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
    client.delete_agent(&agent.id).await?;
    println!("Agent deleted.");

    Ok(())
}

cargo run --example quickstart

Client Methods Reference

All methods are async and return Result<T, AgentIdPError>. The client is cheap to clone — the inner reqwest::Client and token cache are shared via Arc.

Agent Registry (sdk-rust/src/agents.rs):

Method Signature Description
register_agent (req: RegisterAgentRequest) -> Result<Agent> POST /agents — 201
get_agent (agent_id: &str) -> Result<Agent> GET /agents/{id} — 200
list_agents (page: Option<u32>, per_page: Option<u32>) -> Result<AgentList> GET /agents — 200
update_agent (agent_id: &str, req: UpdateAgentRequest) -> Result<Agent> PATCH /agents/{id} — 200
delete_agent (agent_id: &str) -> Result<()> DELETE /agents/{id} — 204

Credential Management (sdk-rust/src/credentials.rs):

Method Signature Description
generate_credentials (agent_id: &str) -> Result<Credentials> POST /agents/{id}/credentials — 201. client_secret shown once.
rotate_credentials (agent_id: &str) -> Result<Credentials> POST /agents/{id}/credentials/rotate — 200. New secret shown once.
revoke_credentials (agent_id: &str, cred_id: &str) -> Result<()> DELETE /agents/{id}/credentials/{cred_id} — 204

Token Operations (sdk-rust/src/oauth2.rs):

Method Signature Description
issue_token (agent_id: &str, scopes: &[&str]) -> Result<TokenResponse> Issues a scoped Bearer JWT. Token is cached by TokenManager automatically.

Audit Log (sdk-rust/src/audit.rs):

Method Signature Description
list_audit_logs (filters: AuditLogFilters) -> Result<AuditLogList> Paginated audit log query with optional agent_id, event_type, from, to filters.

Marketplace (sdk-rust/src/marketplace.rs):

Method Signature Description
list_public_agents (filters: MarketplaceFilters) -> Result<MarketplaceAgentList> Lists publicly discoverable agents with optional q, capability, publisher filters.

A2A Delegation (sdk-rust/src/delegation.rs):

Method Signature Description
delegate (req: DelegateRequest) -> Result<DelegationToken> Creates a delegation chain and returns the delegation JWT.
verify_delegation (token: &str) -> Result<DelegationVerification> Verifies a delegation token and returns the verified claims.

Error Types

All SDK operations return Result<T, AgentIdPError>. Match on the enum variants for structured error handling:

use sentryagent_idp::AgentIdPError;

match client.get_agent("unknown-id").await {
    Ok(agent) => println!("Found: {}", agent.name),
    Err(AgentIdPError::NotFound(msg)) => {
        eprintln!("Agent not found: {}", msg);
    }
    Err(AgentIdPError::AuthError(msg)) => {
        eprintln!("Auth failed: {}", msg);
        // Token may have been revoked — check credentials
    }
    Err(AgentIdPError::RateLimited { retry_after_secs }) => {
        eprintln!("Rate limited — retry after {}s", retry_after_secs);
        tokio::time::sleep(std::time::Duration::from_secs(retry_after_secs)).await;
    }
    Err(AgentIdPError::ApiError { status, message, code }) => {
        eprintln!("API error {}: {} (code: {:?})", status, message, code);
    }
    Err(AgentIdPError::ConfigError(msg)) => {
        // Missing environment variable — fix before running
        eprintln!("Config error: {}", msg);
    }
    Err(AgentIdPError::HttpError(e)) => {
        // reqwest transport error — network issue
        eprintln!("HTTP transport error: {}", e);
    }
    Err(AgentIdPError::SerdeError(e)) => {
        // JSON parse failure — API response shape mismatch
        eprintln!("Serialization error: {}", e);
    }
    Err(AgentIdPError::DelegationError(msg)) => {
        eprintln!("Delegation chain invalid: {}", msg);
    }
}

DelegationError(String) Invalid delegation chain N/A

Adding a New Endpoint to the Rust SDK

When the AgentIdP server adds a new API endpoint, add it to the Rust SDK using this checklist:

File structure (sdk-rust/src/):

sdk-rust/src/
├── lib.rs           # Crate root — re-exports and module declarations
├── client.rs        # AgentIdPClient struct and new()/from_env() constructors
├── token_manager.rs # TokenManager — async token cache
├── models.rs        # All request/response structs (serde Serialize/Deserialize)
├── error.rs         # AgentIdPError enum
├── agents.rs        # Agent registry methods (impl AgentIdPClient)
├── credentials.rs   # Credential management methods
├── oauth2.rs        # Token issuance methods
├── audit.rs         # Audit log methods
├── marketplace.rs   # Marketplace methods
└── delegation.rs    # A2A delegation methods

Checklist:

  • Add request/response structs to models.rs with #[derive(Debug, serde::Serialize, serde::Deserialize)]
  • Add the method to the appropriate impl AgentIdPClient block in the relevant <domain>.rs file. If the endpoint belongs to a new domain, create a new file and declare it as pub mod <domain>; in lib.rs
  • Use self.get_auth_header().await? for the Authorization: Bearer header
  • Use the shared parse_response::<T>(resp).await helper (defined in agents.rs) to map HTTP status codes to AgentIdPError variants
  • Add a doc comment (///) to the method with: the HTTP method + path, the success response type, and # Errors listing which AgentIdPError variants it can return
  • Re-export new public types from lib.rs with pub use models::{NewRequestType, NewResponseType};
  • Add a unit test using mockito::Server (see token_manager.rs tests for the pattern)
  • Run cargo test and verify all tests pass
  • Run cargo doc --no-deps --open and verify the new method appears with correct documentation
  • Verify cargo clippy -- -D warnings exits 0
