Choose your path

Run your first capability

Install the SDK, then search, install, and run a verified package — the hands-on walkthrough.

Set up providers & keys

Connect an LLM provider and store credentials in your OS keychain.

Publish a package

Package a Tool Pack, Skill, or Agent and publish it to the registry.

Review security

See how trust tiers, policy checks, and the sandbox govern what runs.

Install and run

The CLI ships with the SDK. No account is needed to search, install, or run packages. Full walkthrough: Quick Start.

$ pip install agentnode-sdk
$ agentnode setup
$ agentnode search "pdf extraction"
$ agentnode install pdf-reader-pack
$ agentnode run pdf-reader-pack --input '{"file_path":"report.pdf"}'

agentnode setup is an interactive wizard covering every first-class setting as a multiple-choice prompt with a recommended default — installation behavior, trust level, permissions, guard posture, credentials, the sandbox, and sandbox.host_trust_policy (which trust tiers may run directly on your host). Accepting the recommendations reproduces the default config; it is fully skippable and never blocks CI.

Prefer local, no key?

Ollama can run models locally with no hosted API key — once Ollama is installed, running, and a model is pulled. AgentNode never installs or starts it for you. See LLM Providers to select it.

Auto-upgrade policies

You control whether your agent installs missing capabilities on its own. Set the policy once; it applies to automatic installs.

safedefault

Auto-installs only verified-or-higher packages.

strict

Auto-installs only trusted or curated packages — the tightest bar.

off

Detection only — never installs automatically; you decide what to add.
