  • Multiplatform Kotlin A2A SDK: Including server and client with JSON-RPC HTTP support.
  • A2A Agent Feature: seamlessly integrate A2A in your Koog agents
• Non-Graph API for Strategies: Introduced non-graph API for creating AI Agent strategies as Kotlin extension functions with most of Koog's features supported (#560)
• Agent Persistence and Checkpointing:
  • Roll back Tool Side-Effects: Add RollbackToolRegistry in the Persistence feature in order to roll back tool calls with side effects when checkpointing.
  • State-Machine Persistence / Message History Switch: Support switching between full state-machine persistence and message history persistence (#856)

  • Make ToolDescriptor auto-generated for class-based tools (#791)
  • Get rid of ToolArgs and ToolResult limitations for Tool<*, *> class (#791)
• subgraphWithTask Simplification: Get rid of required finishTool and support tools as functions in subgraphWithTask, deduce final step automatically by data class (#791)
• AIAgentService Introduced: Make AIAgent state-manageable and single-run explicitly, introduce AIAgentService to manage multiple uniform running agents.
