Description
Feature Description
Bob support on the agent integration contract. Bob is our internal coding agent, and this is
an internal release: Bob is an agent our own team runs, so observability for it is much of
what the release is for.
Proposed Solution
- Confirm Bob's wire format and where it stores settings — unlike the other agents there is
no public reference, so capture this in the issue before implementing - Detect an installed Bob and locate its settings
- Patch it to use
localhost:47600and the Cortex CA; ask before editing, support revert - Traffic parsed into typed events, not merely proxied
- Token counts and cost correct for its wire format
- Metrics aggregate alongside other agents
- A tool inventory, or state explicitly that tool pruning is unsupported
- Setup documented; verified depth stated
Additional Context
Part of the Cortex v0.9.0 release. Depends on the agent integration contract.
