# iolaus
|
||
|
||
Personal agents for Daedalus — powered by [Pallas](https://git.helu.ca/r/pallas).
|
||
|
||
Iolaus is a pure agent project: Python agent definitions + YAML configuration.
|
||
The runtime (serving, registry, health checks, multimodal support) lives in Pallas.
|
||
|
||
## Architecture
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Daedalus Backend — FastAPI
|
||
│ MCP over StreamableHTTP
|
||
▼
|
||
Pallas MCP Bridge (pallas.server:main)
|
||
│ reads agents.yaml for topology
|
||
│ reads fastagent.config.yaml for LLM + model capabilities
|

|
||
|
||
## Configuration
|
||
|
||
### `agents.yaml` — Deployment Topology
|
||
|
||
Single source of truth for agent names, ports, dependencies, host, and namespace.
|
||
Read by Pallas at startup.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
name: iolaus
|
||
version: "1.0.0"
|
||
host: puck.incus
|
||
namespace: ca.helu.iolaus
|
||
registry_port: 24000
|
||
|
||
agents:
|
||
shawn:
|
||
module: agents.shawn
|
||
port: 24001
|
||
title: Shawn
|
||
description: "Personal general assistant — calendar, contacts, email, and daily life management"
|
||
depends_on: [research]
|
||
# ...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
To deploy a different agent group, swap `agents.yaml` — no code changes needed.
|
||
Override the config path with `PALLAS_AGENTS_CONFIG` env var.
|
||
|
||
### `fastagent.config.yaml` — LLM + Model Capabilities
|
||
|
||
Committed to the repo. Contains LLM provider settings and explicit model capability
|
||
declarations.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
default_model: generic.Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf
|
||
|
||
model_capabilities:
|
||
vision: false
|
||
context_window: 40960
|
||
max_output_tokens: 8192
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The `model_capabilities` section declares capabilities explicitly rather than
|
||
inferring from the model name. Exposed in the registry for Daedalus to use when
|
||
routing requests.
|
||
|
||
### `news:` — Mikael News Agent Configuration
|
||
|
||
Top-level block in `fastagent.config.yaml`, consumed by `agents/mikael.py` at
|
||
startup. Edits take effect on restart — no code changes needed to tweak
|
||
topics or sources.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
news:
|
||
topics:
|
||
- Canadian federal politics
|
||
- Generative AI and LLM research
|
||
# ... add/remove freely
|
||
preferred_sources: # seeded into queries, not exclusive
|
||
- reuters.com
|
||
- apnews.com
|
||
- cbc.ca
|
||
avoided_sources: # excluded via -site: AND post-filtered by host
|
||
- foxnews.com
|
||
- breitbart.com
|
||
- dailymail.co.uk
|
||
default_lookback_hours: 24
|
||
max_items_per_topic: 5
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Mikael excludes `avoided_sources` from search results with `-site:` operators
|
||
*and* post-filters by hostname as a second line of defence. It will never
|
||
summarize or cite content from an avoided source, even if another outlet
|
||
syndicates the claim.
|
||
|
||
### `fastagent.secrets.yaml` — API Keys and Tokens
|
||
|
||
Gitignored — never commit. Place in the repo root alongside `fastagent.config.yaml`.
|
||
|
||
```yaml
|
||
openai:
|
||
api_key: "your-key-here"
|
||
|
||
mcp:
|
||
servers:
|
||
angelia:
|
||
headers:
|
||
Authorization: "Bearer your-token"
|
||
kairos:
|
||
headers:
|
||
Authorization: "Bearer your-token"
|
||
periplus:
|
||
headers:
|
||
Authorization: "Bearer your-token"
|
||
nike:
|
||
headers:
|
||
Authorization: "Bearer your-token"
|
||
# ...
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Quickstart
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# 1. Install dependencies (Python 3.13 required)
|
||
source ~/env/iolaus/bin/activate
|
||
pip install -e .
|
||
|
||
# 2. Configure secrets
|
||
cp fastagent.secrets.yaml.example fastagent.secrets.yaml
|
||
# Edit: set api_key and service tokens
|
||
|
||
# 3. Start all agents
|
||
iolaus
|
||
|
||
# 4. Verify
|
||
curl http://localhost:24001/mcp
|
||
|
||
# 5. Start a single agent
|
||
iolaus --agent shawn
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Daedalus Integration
|
||
|
||
Daedalus connects to agents via the MCP Python SDK's `streamable_http_client`.
|
||
|
||
Registry endpoint: `http://puck.incus:24000/.well-known/mcp/server.json`
|
||
|
||
The registry includes model capabilities on each agent entry:
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"capabilities": {
|
||
"model": "Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf",
|
||
"vision": false,
|
||
"context_window": 40960,
|
||
"max_output_tokens": 8192
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Deployment (systemd)
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
# 1. Copy project to /srv/iolaus
|
||
sudo cp -r . /srv/iolaus
|
||
sudo chown -R iolaus:iolaus /srv/iolaus
|
||
|
||
# 2. Install into venv
|
||
cd /srv/iolaus
|
||
source ~/env/iolaus/bin/activate
|
||
pip install -e .
|
||
|
||
# 3. Configure secrets
|
||
cp fastagent.secrets.yaml.example fastagent.secrets.yaml
|
||
# Fill in API keys and tokens
|
||
|
||
# 4. Install and start systemd service
|
||
sudo cp systemd/iolaus.service /etc/systemd/system/
|
||
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
|
||
sudo systemctl enable --now iolaus
|
||
sudo systemctl status iolaus
|
||
```

## Notes
|
||
|
||
- **Python 3.13** required (`fast-agent-mcp` pins `>=3.13`)
|
||
- **Runtime:** [Pallas](https://git.helu.ca/r/pallas) — `pallas-mcp @ git+ssh://git@git.helu.ca:22022/r/pallas.git`
|
||
- **Transport:** StreamableHTTP (`/mcp`) throughout — not SSE
|
||
- **LLM:** Local Qwen via fast-agent's Generic (OpenAI-compatible) provider at
|
||
`http://nyx.helu.ca:22079/v1`
|
||
- **Logging:** Console output — stdout → syslog → Alloy → Loki in production
|
||
- **Port scheme:** registry at 24000, personal agents 24001–24049, sub-agents 24050–24099
