connectonion

Why we included this project

ConnectOnion is a Python framework for building AI agents that are meant to survive contact with a real deployment, and the value is mostly in what wraps around the model call rather than the call itself. You spin up an agent in a couple of lines, hand it your plain Python functions as tools, and get lifecycle hooks, a plugin system, and an approval gate for risky operations like shell commands without extra wiring. A built-in hosting layer exposes the agent over HTTP and peer-to-peer relays, so other agents can discover and invoke it once you are coordinating several specialized workers. Ready-made integrations for email, calendar, file systems, and browser automation mean small teams can ship a useful assistant without building those connectors from scratch. If you want a lightweight framework that stays close to plain Python while still supporting debugging and deployment, this is worth a serious look.
