Why we included this project

LightAgent is a compact Python framework for building agents against OpenAI-compatible APIs, and it spares you from assembling the supporting machinery yourself. Instead of hand-wiring tool calling and memory, you get guardrails, tracing, lifecycle hooks, and multi-agent routing out of the box, with MCP support so existing Model Context Protocol servers plug straight in without custom integrations. The LightFlow workflow layer covers tasks that want deterministic, step-by-step control rather than full autonomy. An arXiv paper accompanying the project describes the architecture, which helps if you want to evaluate the design before committing. Teams that prefer extending a lean framework over adopting a heavyweight platform will find a practical starting point.
