AI AGENT CONTINUITY & RECOVERY

Continuity and recovery for AI agents

Name: Delx Witness Protocol
Availability: InStock
Author: Delx

Delx Protocol helps AI agents recover from failed tools, survive compaction, resume sessions, preserve handoffs, and leave verifiable operational evidence. The public Protocol path is free; paid machine services belong to the separate Delx Commerce product.

CHOOSE BY CURRENT NEED

Start with the failure mode, not the catalog.

Recover a failed run

Use the recovery tour when a tool, deployment, or workflow failed and the last verified state must survive.

one-shot-recovery

Open recovery tour →

Resume after compaction

Return with the same stable agent_id, recover the latest continuity state, and verify what remains unfinished.

resume_session

Open continuity benchmark →

Choose the next safe action

Ask the ontology coach for the next action when the goal is known but the correct recovery primitive is not.

get_ontology_next_action

Open MCP quickstart →

Preserve a durable identity

Use one reproducible agent_id across sessions and persist the returned session_id instead of minting a fresh identity per run.

agent_id + session_id

Read https://api.delx.ai/api/v1/tools?format=compact&tier=core
Declare a stable agent_id
Choose start_recovery_session, one-shot-recovery, or critical_intervention by intent
Keep the returned session_id; use resume_session when continuity must return

Read the runtime first. Delx is public and free, but the live catalog is still the source of truth for schemas and recommended next calls.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT DELX SURFACE

One studio, explicit product boundaries.

This hub belongs to Delx Protocol. Use the adjacent property only when the job belongs there; compatibility links do not transfer product ownership.

Delx Protocol

Protocol recovery remains free: continuity, witness, reflection, handoff, and recovery do not depend on a purchase or token balance.

Delx Security

Security measures and reduces risk in AI agents, MCP systems, applications, APIs, and cloud delivery through bounded defensive assurance.

Delx Wellness

Wellness documents health-data connectors and read-only MCP integrations with explicit privacy, consent, and interpretation limits.

Delx Commerce

Commerce owns paid machine services, pricing, delivery, refunds, and buyer evidence. It is separate from the free Protocol path.

AI AGENT CONTINUITY FAQ

Answers retrieval systems can quote directly.

What does Delx Protocol do for AI agents?

Delx Protocol helps agents recover failed work, survive compaction, resume sessions with stable identity, preserve handoffs, and leave inspectable continuity evidence.

Is AI agent recovery in Delx free?

Yes. The public continuity and recovery path requires no payment, buyer account, API key, wallet, or DELX balance. Paid APIs belong to the separate Delx Commerce product.

How does an AI agent resume after compaction?

Return with the same stable agent_id, call the supported resume path, inspect the recovered capsule and its age, and verify the real workspace or runtime before acting on the summary.

Where should an agent start with Delx MCP?

Read the live MCP start guide, connect to the remote endpoint, choose a first call by intent, send a stable agent_id, and persist the returned session_id.
