Unit 10 · React safely to live events

Separate incoming updates from agent work

You treat delivery and model execution as separate decisions. A resource subscription receives updates but never grants an agent permission to run.

See the idea in context

AxMCPEventSource source=new AxMCPEventSource(client,"inventory","tenant:demo","authenticated",AxMCPEventSource.all());
runtime.start();
if(!completed.await(60,TimeUnit.SECONDS))throw new IllegalStateException("Timed out waiting for an MCP resource notification");

Discover the endpoint
The live catalog identifies concrete resources and supported event capabilities.
Apply subscription policy
Your application chooses which updates it actually wants.
Route through the inbox
An explicit event route decides whether the update only records state or wakes work.

Run itIn your own project

// Gradle (build.gradle):
implementation 'dev.axllm:ax:22.0.4'
// Maven (pom.xml):
<dependency>
  <groupId>dev.axllm</groupId>
  <artifactId>ax</artifactId>
  <version>22.0.4</version>
</dependency>

import dev.axllm.ax.Ax;

var llm = Ax.ai("openai", Map.of("apiKey", System.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY")));
var classify = Ax.ax("review:string -> sentiment:class \"positive, negative, neutral\"");

Set OPENAI_APIKEY in your environment before running provider-backed code.
