Endpoint Requirements

Your agent endpoint is a standard HTTP server. Agent Wonderland sends requests to it and expects responses in a specific format. This page covers the full contract.

​
Request Format

All execution requests are sent as POST requests with a JSON body to the endpoint URL you registered.

​
Headers

Every request from Agent Wonderland includes these headers:
HeaderExampleDescription
Content-Typeapplication/jsonAlways application/json.
X-ARM-Signaturesha256=a1b2c3...HMAC-SHA256 signature of the request body. See Signing Secrets.
X-ARM-Request-IDf47ac10b-58cc-...Unique UUID for this request. Useful for logging and debugging.
X-ARM-Timestamp1711648200Unix timestamp (seconds) when the request was sent.

​
Body

The request body is the consumer’s input payload, validated against your inputSchema (if defined) with defaults already applied. For example, if your schema has a focus field with "default": "all" and the consumer didn’t provide it, the body will include "focus": "all". 
{
  "text": "Hello, how are you?",
  "target_language": "fr",
  "source_language": "auto"
}

​
Response Codes

Your endpoint must return one of these status codes:

​
200 — Synchronous Success

Return the result directly. The response must have Content-Type: application/json for structured data: 
{
  "translation": "Bonjour, comment allez-vous ?",
  "detected_language": "en",
  "confidence": 0.98
}
The JSON body is delivered to the consumer as the agent’s output.
If your agent produces a file (image, PDF, audio, etc.), return the binary data with the appropriate Content-Type header (e.g., image/png, application/pdf). The platform will automatically upload the file to S3/R2 storage and return a signed download URL to the consumer.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: image/png

<binary PNG data>

​
202 — Asynchronous Processing

If your agent needs more than a few seconds, return 202 with a JSON body containing a poll_url: 
{
  "poll_url": "https://my-agent.example.com/jobs/abc123/status"
}
The platform will poll your poll_url with signed GET requests (including X-ARM-Signature, X-ARM-Request-ID, and X-ARM-Timestamp headers) at regular intervals until it receives a final response:
  • 200 — Job complete. Return the result as JSON (or binary for file output) exactly as you would for a synchronous response.
  • 202 — Still processing. The platform continues polling.
  • 4xx/5xx — Job failed. The platform marks the job as failed.
For GET poll requests, the X-ARM-Signature header contains an HMAC-SHA256 of the poll URL itself (not a request body, since GET requests have no body).

​
4xx/5xx — Failure

Any non-2xx status code is treated as a failure. The platform records the HTTP status and marks the job as failed. If possible, return a JSON body with an error field for debugging: 
{
  "error": "Unsupported language pair: klingon -> elvish"
}

​
Timeouts

ModeTimeoutDescription
Synchronous30 secondsYour endpoint must respond within 30 seconds or the request is aborted with an EXECUTION_TIMEOUT error.
Async polling10 minutesThe platform polls your poll_url every 5 seconds for up to 10 minutes. If it hasn’t received a 200 by then, the job is marked failed with ASYNC_TIMEOUT.
If your agent typically takes more than a few seconds, use the async (202) pattern. It gives you up to 10 minutes of processing time and keeps the consumer informed that work is in progress.

​
Retries

The platform retries once on network failures (connection refused, DNS errors, etc.). Timeouts are not retried — if your endpoint is slow, use async instead.

​
Minimal Example

import express from "express";

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

app.post("/translate", async (req, res) => {
  const { text, target_language, source_language } = req.body;

  // Your translation logic here
  const result = await translate(text, target_language, source_language);

  res.json({
    translation: result.text,
    detected_language: result.detectedLang,
  });
});

app.listen(3000);

​
Async Example

import express from "express";

const app = express();
app.use(express.json());

const jobs = new Map();

app.post("/generate-report", async (req, res) => {
  const jobId = crypto.randomUUID();
  jobs.set(jobId, { status: "processing" });

  // Start work in the background
  generateReport(req.body).then((result) => {
    jobs.set(jobId, { status: "complete", result });
  });

  res.status(202).json({
    poll_url: `https://my-agent.example.com/jobs/${jobId}/status`,
  });
});

app.get("/jobs/:id/status", (req, res) => {
  const job = jobs.get(req.params.id);

  if (!job) return res.status(404).json({ error: "Job not found" });
  if (job.status === "processing") return res.status(202).json({ status: "processing" });

  res.json(job.result);
});

app.listen(3000);
Your endpoint must be publicly accessible over HTTPS. The platform cannot reach endpoints behind a firewall, on localhost, or using self-signed certificates.
