LambdaAgent

The LambdaAgent is a versatile agent class in the Multi-Agent Orchestrator System that allows integration with existing AWS Lambda functions. This agent will invoke your existing Lambda function written in any language (e.g., Python, Node.js, Java), providing a seamless way to utilize your existing serverless logic within the orchestrator.

Key Features

  • Integration with any AWS Lambda function runtime
  • Custom payload encoder/decoder methods to match your payload format
  • Support for cross-region Lambda invocation
  • Default payload encoding/decoding for quick setup

Creating a LambdaAgent

Python Package

If you haven’t already installed the AWS-related dependencies, make sure to install them:

Terminal window
pip install "multi-agent-orchestrator[aws]"
import { LambdaAgent } from 'multi-agent-orchestrator';
const myCustomInputPayloadEncoder = (input, chatHistory, userId, sessionId, additionalParams) => {
return JSON.stringify({
userQuestion: input,
myCustomField: "Hello world!",
history: chatHistory,
user: userId,
session: sessionId,
...additionalParams
});
};
const myCustomOutputPayloadDecoder = (input) => {
const decodedResponse = JSON.parse(new TextDecoder("utf-8").decode(input.Payload)).body;
return {
role: "assistant",
content: [{ text: `Response: ${decodedResponse}` }]
};
};
const options: LambdaAgentOptions = {
name: 'My Advanced Lambda Agent',
description: 'A versatile agent that calls a custom Lambda function',
functionName: 'my-advanced-lambda-function',
functionRegion: 'us-west-2',
inputPayloadEncoder: myCustomInputPayloadEncoder,
outputPayloadDecoder: myCustomOutputPayloadDecoder
};
const agent = new LambdaAgent(options);

Parameter Explanations

  • name: (Required) Identifies the agent within your system.
  • description: (Required) Describes the agent’s purpose or capabilities.
  • function_name: (Required) The name or ARN of the Lambda function to invoke.
  • function_region: (Required) The AWS region where the Lambda function is deployed.
  • input_payload_encoder: (Optional) A custom function to encode the input payload.
  • output_payload_decoder: (Optional) A custom function to decode the Lambda function’s response.

Adding the Agent to the Orchestrator

To integrate the LambdaAgent into your Multi-Agent Orchestrator System, follow these steps:

  1. First, ensure you have created an instance of the orchestrator:
import { MultiAgentOrchestrator } from "multi-agent-orchestrator";
const orchestrator = new MultiAgentOrchestrator();
  1. Then, add the LambdaAgent to the orchestrator:
orchestrator.addAgent(agent);
  1. Now you can use the orchestrator to route requests to the appropriate agent, including your Lambda function:
const response = await orchestrator.routeRequest(
"I need help with my order",
"user123",
"session456"
);

If you don’t provide custom encoder/decoder functions, the LambdaAgent uses default methods:

Default Input Payload

{
"query": "inputText",
"chatHistory": [...],
"additionalParams": {...},
"userId": "userId",
"sessionId": "sessionId"
}

Expected Default Output Payload

{
"body": "{\"response\":\"this is the response\"}"
}

By leveraging the LambdaAgent, you can easily incorporate existing AWS Lambda functions into your Multi-Agent Orchestrator System, combining serverless compute with your custom orchestration logic.
