RPCS-1 SDK — AI Agent Tuner

Measure TI, SG, FT, UE, and AR in a configured agent, then get the runtime settings to fix it.

RPCS-1 is a five-primitive assay battery for deployed AI agents. It turns task type, entropy, stakes, predictability, context horizon, and commitment style into a five-primitive profile, a failure-risk score, a runtime recommendation, and the next test to run.

Quick Start — Python SDK

pip install rpcs1

from rpcs1 import recommend_params

config = recommend_params(
    task_description="Customer support agent",
    environment_entropy="dynamic",
    environment_predictability="somewhat_predictable",
    stakes="high",
    target_platform="anthropic",
)

print(config.platform_parameters.temperature)   # e.g. 0.52
print(config.predicted_regime)                  # 'stable'
print(config.reasoning)                         # cites Matching Principle

Quick Start — TypeScript Core

import { recommend } from '@rpcs1/core';

const rec = recommend({
  task: { task_summary: 'Customer support agent' },
  environment: {
    entropy: 'dynamic',
    predictability: 'somewhat_predictable',
    stakes: 'high',
    context_relevance: 'medium',
    commitment_style: 'cautious',
  },
  target_platform: 'anthropic',
});

console.log(rec.platform_parameters.temperature);
console.log(rec.predicted_regime);

Development

# Install dependencies
npm ci --include=optional

# Build and test TypeScript core
npm run build --workspace=@rpcs1/core
npm run test --workspace=@rpcs1/core

# Test Python SDK
cd sdk/python
pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest -v

Web environment variables are documented in packages/web/.env.example (Stripe, Resend, license signing, rate limits). MCP production controls are listed under Production controls below.

The Matching Principle

The SDK implements Pred-09-5 from IMM Paper 9:

Stable receivers in an environment with entropy H satisfy TI ~ 1/H.

High-entropy environments → short attention windows (TI ~ 10). Low-entropy environments → long attention windows (TI ~ 90).

Every parameter recommendation traces back to this principle or the basin stability geometry (oscillation/overload/freeze boundary conditions).

MCP Server

RPCS-1 is also available as a public, anonymous, read-only MCP server:

https://rpcs1.dev/mcp

It exposes four tools — one for tuning agents, three for translating humans:

• recommend_agent_configuration — diagnose an AI agent against environmental entropy, predictability, stakes, context horizon, and commitment style.

• interpret — detect ambiguity in a human message (Signature Ambiguity Framework: AR level, candidate readings with scores, clarifying questions).

• normalize — join fragmented, ellipsis-heavy input into coherent prose without changing meaning.

• rewrite — get rewrite instructions for a target style; the SDK's rewriteForProfile goes further and renders for a specific person's receiver profile.

Translation Layer

"Say what you mean. Hear what they meant."

The translation tools implement HF-HATP v2.0 — the canonical agent-facing spec lives at skills/rpcs1-translation-layer/SKILL.md. In the SDK, scoreIntake calibrates a five-primitive receiver profile (R̂) from a 5-item intake, and interpret / rewriteForProfile consume it so output is tuned to the person, not a lumped style.

Tuner examples

The first useful call is a support copilot under live pressure:

Use recommend_agent_configuration to diagnose my support copilot.

Task: refund and billing dispute triage
Environment: dynamic, somewhat_predictable, high stakes
Context relevance: medium
Commitment style: cautious
Target platform: anthropic

The output should lead with the five-primitive profile, failure-risk score, predicted regime, runtime posture, and next test to run.

The second useful call is a coding agent in a changing repository:

Use recommend_agent_configuration to diagnose my coding agent.

Task: inspect a changing repository, edit files, run tests, and open a pull request
Environment: moderate, somewhat_predictable, medium stakes
Context relevance: long
Commitment style: balanced
Target platform: openai

The output should still lead with the five-primitive profile, failure-risk score, predicted regime, runtime posture, and next test to run.

Connection details and client compatibility notes are available at https://rpcs1.dev/docs/mcp. Practical coding, support, and research examples are available at https://rpcs1.dev/docs/examples.

Hyperagent uses the fixed public OAuth client hyperagent-rpcs1 with PKCE and the registered callback https://hyperagent.com/api/mcp-servers/callback. No client secret is required.

The MCP surface intentionally wraps the existing deterministic recommendation engine. Broader communication, market, and decision-analysis tools should be added only after their scoring contracts are implemented and tested in the core package.

Discovery metadata:

• OpenAPI: https://rpcs1.dev/openapi.json

• LLM overview: https://rpcs1.dev/llms.txt

• MCP Registry manifest: server.json

Production controls:

• MCP_HOURLY_LIMIT controls per-instance MCP throttling (default: 120 requests per IP/hour).

• MCP_MAX_BODY_BYTES limits request bodies (default: 65536 bytes).

• MCP_ALLOWED_HOSTS is a comma-separated production host allowlist.

• MCP_OAUTH_JWT_SECRET signs short-lived OAuth authorization codes and access tokens.

• /api/health reports deployment and MCP readiness metadata.

For globally consistent abuse protection across Vercel instances, configure a Vercel Firewall rate-limit rule for /mcp. The in-process limiter is defense in depth, not a distributed quota.

Glama Docker checks should build and launch the local STDIO server, not connect to the hosted https://rpcs1.dev/mcp endpoint. Use this build spec:

{
  "buildSteps": [
    "npm ci --include=optional",
    "npm run build --workspace=@rpcs1/core",
    "npm run build --workspace=@rpcs1/mcp-server"
  ],
  "cmdArguments": [
    "mcp-proxy",
    "--",
    "node",
    "packages/mcp-server/dist/index.js"
  ],
