Provider API¶
Use Provider with a ProviderType value and explicit credentials/model.
OpenAIProvider adds OpenAI authentication/discovery; FoundryProvider accepts
a caller-owned sync or async Azure credential or an API key. See Providers,
Foundry authentication, and
Multi-Provider Setup.
base_url is an API prefix, not a complete generation endpoint. A shared
interface does not imply equal media, reasoning, retry, or batch capabilities
across providers and HTTP contracts. This reference follows the current source.
The library constructors Provider, OpenAIProvider, and FoundryProvider
accept timeout=120.0 for the total duration of each model HTTP request, including
its streaming response. Named ngn connections expose this existing parameter as
request_timeout,
with the same default for API-key and ChatGPT/Codex authentication. Catalog
requests retain their 30-second cap, and shell, whole-run, authentication, and
Live session budgets remain separate. Retry policy is unchanged.

get_model_list()
async
¶
Fetch model IDs explicitly, without changing the model or verification cache.
OpenAI-compatible, OpenRouter, and LiteLLM providers use GET on the configured API prefix plus /models. IDs retain upstream order and spelling; duplicates are removed. An empty catalog is valid, not a fallback on error.
Raises:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
NotImplementedError
|
Discovery is not implemented for this provider. |
ModelListError
|
Credentials, configuration, transport, or catalog data are invalid. Upstream bodies and credentials are never included. |
Catalog membership does not guarantee generation access or capabilities. Each call makes a fresh bounded request, with no redirects or raw logging.

Verify that the specified model exists in model list endpoint.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
force
|
bool
|
If True, re-verify even if already cached. |
False
|
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
bool
|

Foundry credentials¶
FoundryProvider reuses the Provider text/GPT-Live transports. credential and
api_key are mutually exclusive; scope defaults to https://ai.azure.com/.default.
It never creates, selects, caches, or closes an Azure credential. Applications
choose a sync or async Azure Identity credential (or a structural equivalent)
themselves. Async is preferred; synchronous token calls are offloaded to a worker
thread to keep the voice event loop responsive.
Azure Identity is a developer-testing dependency only, not a project runtime
dependency or extra.
Foundry API-key GPT-Live WebSockets use the api-key header, including attach/fork.
Entra WebSockets and REST requests retain Bearer authentication, as do REST API
keys. OpenAI WebSocket authentication is unchanged. Redirects and query-string
credentials are not allowed.

GPT-Live Voice¶
Set live_config=LiveConfig(...) on the voice provider, configure the existing
AudioDuplex on the agent, and consume agent.run() as with Realtime. The library
owns the connection, audio streaming and delegation protocol.
LiveConfig(delegation="responses", backend_model=..., web_search=True)uses OpenAI-hosted backend inference.LiveConfig(delegation="client")uses the ordinary NagentsAgentpassed asdelegation_agent=...to the voice agent. That backend owns its model, tools, permissions and task history. Audio continues while it works.
The voice provider selects model="gpt-live-1"; backend model selection is
independent. The runnable example is
examples/live/,
with separate hosted, client-agent, and optional commentary examples.
The client backend is an ordinary Agent. Its emitted events are forwarded
immediately with their original types and extra["delegation_id"] plus
extra["source"] == "live_backend". A tagged backend DoneEvent does not end
the voice conversation.
await voice.add_comment(text), add_thinking(text), and add_instructions(text)
send native Live updates after startup. They are callable from application code
or other tools, and can optionally be registered as model-callable backend tools.
Delegated calls automatically carry their original task ID; application calls
outside delegated work use a null ID. The returned event ID correlates with the
server acknowledgment, rather than certifying speech playback.
voice.live exposes concrete commands and retained session status:
wait(event_id)correlates acknowledgments and command errors.mute_input()/unmute_input()affect model input, independently of playback.update_backend(...)sends a sparse supported Responses configuration update.submit_text(...)/submit_image(...)route application input to the backend.invalidate_tasks()marks an application intent change so obsolete results are not delivered; business tools must still enforce their own revisions.close()requests graceful finalization;statusretains duration, terminal reason and whether final usage was confirmed.
In hosted mode, register functions on the voice agent. The native runtime collects
complete hosted function batches and uses its tool executor, submitting every
result before continuing. A plain async service can instead be configured with
LiveConfig(delegation="client", client_request_handler=...).
For correlated application work, client_request_handler receives a
ClientDelegationRequest (from nagents.live) contains the original identifier,
notice-time transcript, optional native text, and offset_ms. The immutable
snapshot never absorbs later speech while waiting for a backend. A synchronous
client_request_observer can report receipt immediately, including when all
workers are busy; keep this callback short and nonblocking.
Independent callbacks run with client_concurrency=4 (configurable from 1 to 32),
with at most 32 queued requests. A supplied Agent.delegation_agent keeps one
lane because it owns one conversation. Cancellation joins all workers before
disconnecting.
The typed handler accepts voice notices only. Route application text or images
directly to your backend; submit_text and submit_image reject this handler
configuration instead of discarding the supplied content. A delegation agent
continues to accept these multimodal input commands.
A handler may return "" when the application owns ongoing results. The ID
remains valid until the connection closes: send quiet progress with
voice.live.append("thinking", text, identifier) and speakable results with
voice.live.append("commentary", text, identifier). Use an empty identifier for
session-wide work. Keep each public append below 500 tokens; the transport's
automatic results use conservative 480-byte UTF-8 chunks. An append receipt
does not confirm audio playback. See the
OpenAI delegation guide.
The web ChatGPT login adapter uses its distinct native protocol: quiet progress
maps to channel: commentary, spoken results to channel: speakable, and an
empty ID uses session.context.append. Native instruction appends are explicitly
unsupported; they are not converted into spoken instructions. Native content is
also split below its 500-byte limit.
LiveAPI implements WebRTC setup, SIP controls, recording download and stored
forks. agent.live_configuration(media=True) supplies the session configuration
and registered hosted tool schemas without a WebSocket audio format. Attach an
Agent to the returned ID with LiveConfig(attach_to=...); it does not start the
session twice. Observers use handle_delegations=False to avoid duplicate tool
execution. Live lifecycle/control traffic is LiveEvent, separate from Realtime.
nagents.live.audio provides paced inputs and application-owned playback gates.
PacedAudioInput preserves source chunks and schedules their duration using the
source's audio format. Its clock starts when the first nonempty chunk is available;
waiting for source setup does not give buffered audio a head start. The default
silence_tail=True continues with silence after the source ends.
Verified-clip completion requires an output adapter with an actual drain()
implementation. Muting a browser or SIP player's output remains the responsibility
of the media path that owns playback.

Explicit Model Discovery¶
async def Provider.get_model_list(self) -> list[str] provides explicit model
discovery and is included in v0.15.0. It fetches IDs on each call; there is no
catalog cache, implicit generation, or change to the selected model.
import asyncio
import os
from nagents import ModelListError, Provider, ProviderType
async def main() -> None:
async with Provider(
provider_type=ProviderType.OPENAI_COMPATIBLE,
api_key=os.environ["OPENAI_API_KEY"], # Your own OpenAI Platform API key.
model="gpt-6-luna",
) as provider:
try:
model_ids = await provider.get_model_list()
except (ModelListError, NotImplementedError):
print("Catalog unavailable; keep or enter your model ID manually.")
else:
print(model_ids)
# provider.model remains "gpt-6-luna" in either case.
asyncio.run(main())
For OPENAI_COMPATIBLE, OPENROUTER, and LITELLM, discovery uses
GET {base_url}/models with the provider's API key as Bearer authentication.
OpenRouter retains its existing identification header. Custom API prefixes are
preserved; no /v1 is inserted and no pagination query is invented. LiteLLM
requires an explicit gateway prefix. Only the conventional {"data": [{"id":
"model-id"}]} envelope is accepted. A valid data: [] returns []; malformed
envelopes, error envelopes, and invalid IDs raise ModelListError instead.
IDs preserve spelling and response order, with duplicates removed. Blank IDs and
control characters are rejected; provider metadata is not returned.
Requests use a bounded response body (32 MiB), a timeout of at most 30 seconds
(or a shorter positive provider timeout), no redirects, no environment proxies,
no cookies, and no raw HTTP logging. ModelListError messages do not include
upstream response bodies, headers, URLs, or credentials. Unsupported discovery
raises NotImplementedError; this currently includes native Gemini, Anthropic,
and Azure provider types. This is a library implementation limit, not a claim
that those services lack catalog APIs. Offline Harness demo mode rejects discovery without network requests.
get_model_list() is independent of is_model_verified. Existing
verify_model(force=False) retains its cached boolean behavior and models/
prefix matching; force=True refreshes verification. Native Gemini verification
and the local Anthropic/Azure verification behavior are unchanged. A catalog ID
is not a guarantee of tool/media support, capabilities, or account entitlement.
OpenAI Provider¶
OpenAIProvider supports both API-key requests and ChatGPT subscription
authentication. An explicit api_key bypasses local discovery:
from nagents import OpenAIProvider
provider = OpenAIProvider(api_key="your-api-key", model="gpt-5.6-terra", api="responses")
API-key requests default to Responses; select api="chat_completions" for
Chat Completions. A custom base_url requires an explicit key.
uses_chatgpt_auth reports the selected authentication mode, independently of
the provider class. retry_config applies to API-key requests; the subscription
transport does not automatically retry or replay requests.
Local configuration and ChatGPT authentication¶
OpenAIProvider() discovers local Codex configuration and file credentials from
CODEX_HOME or ~/.codex, including the selected model, profile and wire API.
Pass home=, profile=, or model= only to override discovery. API-key settings
use the configured compatible API; a saved ChatGPT login uses the dedicated Codex
OAuth transport. See local discovery.
OpenAIProvider(model="gpt-live-1", live_config=LiveConfig(...)) uses the same
discovery for the public Live WebSocket API. This path requires an API key and may
use its OPENAI_API_KEY environment fallback even when normal text inference uses
saved ChatGPT authentication. OAuth tokens are never sent as Live API keys.
The web voice interface uses
the normal provider registry and defaults, with an optional explicit voice
connection. Its browser exchanges PCM audio only with the ngn server over a
same-origin WebSocket. The server owns the native Codex media/control path for
ChatGPT login, or the provider's Live WebSocket for supported API-key/Entra
connections. The selected provider must support Live.
For the CLI's own login workflow and limitations, see ngn and release availability.
An explicit credential callback can instead use your saved ngn login:
import asyncio
from nagents import OpenAIProvider, ModelListError
from nagents.harness.auth import OpenAIAuth
async def codex_models() -> None:
auth = OpenAIAuth()
try:
async with OpenAIProvider(credentials=auth.credentials) as provider:
try:
print(await provider.get_model_list())
except (NotImplementedError, ModelListError):
print("Keep or enter your Codex model ID manually.")
finally:
await auth.close()
asyncio.run(codex_models())
For ChatGPT/OAuth authentication, Codex discovery uses the fixed
https://chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/models route. Its client_version query
and version header use the latest stable Codex release version discovered from
OpenAI's public @openai/codex package metadata,
not the ngn package version. This matters because upstream catalog visibility
can depend on client version. Requests still identify
the application honestly as originator: ngn and User-Agent: ngn/<package-version>.
Every explicit catalog lookup revalidates that public release metadata, using
If-None-Match when the registry supplies an ETag; overlapping lookups share one
check. There is no positive freshness delay that hides a newly published stable
version. Metadata requests have a separate maximum two-second deadline (or the
connection's shorter catalog deadline), a 64 KiB response limit, no redirects,
cookies, proxy/netrc settings, provider credentials, account headers, or request
tracing. Only the exact package name and a plain stable major.minor.patch
version are accepted. ngn does not install or execute Codex to discover models.
If metadata is unavailable, invalid, or older than the known version, ngn uses
the last valid version in this process and waits five minutes before checking
metadata again. A process with no successful metadata lookup uses the verified
0.162.0 fallback. This is an offline compatibility fallback, not a cached model
list: the authenticated catalog itself is fetched on every request. The cache
contains only public version/ETag data, stays in memory, and writes no settings
or credential files. Logs report the selected version, metadata source, and
fallback status without upstream response data. ngn serve routes these bounded
diagnostics through its application logger, so they remain visible in normal
server/container logs without enabling verbose logging for other library or
MCP operations.
Each fetch obtains one current OpenAIAuth.credentials snapshot and uses its
access token, optional account ID, and optional residency together. It never
copies the OAuth token into Provider.api_key, derives a catalog route from a
custom URL, or falls back to the OpenAI API-key service. Changing an OAuth
provider's base_url rejects discovery before requesting credentials. Login,
refresh, and generation behavior are unchanged; no additional account-routing
features are inferred from geolocation or other metadata.
The response must contain a models array of objects with valid slug and
visibility fields. Only visibility: "list" contributes an ID; "hide" and
"none" are excluded. Missing, null, or unknown visibility is an error, matching
Codex's required enum rather than guessing a default. Models with
supported_in_api: false remain eligible for OAuth discovery. IDs retain
upstream order (no priority sorting), with duplicates removed; descriptions,
instructions, account metadata, and other extra fields are not returned.
The authenticated catalog uses the same bounded, redirect-free, cookie-free,
non-logging transport limits described above. There is no model-list cache or pagination.
For ChatGPT authentication, OpenAIProvider.verify_model() remains local and does not prove account
entitlement or request a catalog. This is an official Codex client contract,
not a stable public OpenAI REST API guarantee. ModelListError and manual model
entry remain important if that contract or account access changes.
Verified upstream sources: catalog route and client-version query, model fields and picker visibility, and Codex's public release metadata checks.

get_model_list()
async
¶
Fetch model IDs from the API-key catalog or the subscription catalog.
With ChatGPT authentication this follows the Codex client's catalog contract, not the public OpenAI API-key catalog. It is fresh, read-only, and independent of model verification. Failures raise ModelListError without upstream data; there is no API-key fallback or entitlement guarantee.
