Installation
npm install @egox/clientQuick Start
import { EgoX } from '@egox/client';
const egox = new EgoX({
apiKey: process.env.EGOX_API_KEY, // egox_live_xxx or egox_test_xxx

});

Configuration
const egox = new EgoX({
apiKey: 'egox_live_xxx', // Required - Your EgoX API key
tenantId: 'your-tenant-id', // Required - Your tenant/project ID
baseUrl: 'https://api.egox.io', // Optional - API base URL
timeout: 30000, // Optional - Request timeout (ms)
retries: 2, // Optional - Number of retry attempts
});Sending Messages
Basic Message
const response = await egox.ask({
message: 'Hello, how can you help me?',
});With Conversation Threading
// Start a new conversation
const first = await egox.ask({
message: 'What is your return policy?',
externalUserId: 'user-123', // Your user's ID
});
// Continue the conversation
const second = await egox.ask({
message: 'What about electronics?',
threadId: first.threadId, // Continue same thread
externalUserId: 'user-123',
});With Auth Token Forwarding
// Forward your user's auth token to your tools
const response = await egox.ask({
message: 'Check my order status',
authToken: 'user-jwt-token', // Forwarded to your tool endpoints
});With Custom Metadata
const response = await egox.ask({
message: 'Process refund for my order',
metadata: {
orderId: 'order-456',
customerId: 'cust-789',
internalTenantId: 'tenant-abc', // For multi-tenant setups
},
});With Per-Request Headers (forwardHeaders passthrough)
Pass extra HTTP headers on a single /ask call. EgoX captures every
inbound header and forwards any name listed in the target tool's
forwardHeaders allowlist verbatim to that tool's endpoint. Use this
for trusted, server-set context ā locale, app version, the
authenticated user/tenant id when proxying through a gateway, A/B
bucket, etc.
// Server-side (e.g. inside a GraphQL resolver) ā caller already authenticated
const response = await egox.ask({
message: 'Show my recent orders',
externalUserId: ctx.user.id,
headers: {
'x-user-id': ctx.user.id, // trusted: injected from session
'x-tenant-id': ctx.user.tenantId, // (your app's tenant, not EgoX's)
'x-locale': ctx.user.locale,
'x-app-version': req.get('x-app-version') ?? 'unknown',
},
});For these to actually reach the upstream tool, configure the tool's
forwardHeaders allowlist in the EgoX console (or via MCP) to include
the names you're sending.
SDK-reserved names are silently stripped: Authorization,
Content-Type, Accept, X-API-Key, X-Tenant-Id, X-Request-Id,
plus HTTP framing headers (Host, Content-Length,
Transfer-Encoding, Connection). Use authToken instead of
Authorization. The exhaustive list is exported as
SDK_RESERVED_HEADERS if you want to validate ahead of time.
Streaming
EgoX streams events as it thinks, retrieves knowledge, calls tools, and generates text. Two consumption styles, pick whichever fits the call site.
Callback style (askStream)
await egox.askStream(
{
message: 'Walk me through resetting my password.',
headers: { 'x-locale': 'en-US' },
},
{
onEvent: (event) => {
if (event.type === 'delta') process.stdout.write(event.content);
if (event.type === 'tool.calling') console.log('\nā', event.name);
if (event.type === 'done') console.log('\n[done]', event.usage);
},
},
);Async-iterator style (askStreamIter)
Designed for GraphQL Subscription resolvers and any place where
for await is more natural than registering a callback. Breaking out
of the loop aborts the underlying SSE connection.
for await (const ev of egox.askStreamIter({
message: 'Walk me through resetting my password.',
headers: { 'x-locale': 'en-US' },
})) {
switch (ev.type) {
case 'delta': yield { token: ev.content }; break;
case 'tool.calling': yield { toolStart: ev.name }; break;
case 'done': yield { final: ev }; return;
case 'error': throw new Error(ev.message);
}
}Pass an AbortSignal for external cancellation (e.g. WebSocket close,
HTTP request aborted by the client):
const ctrl = new AbortController();
req.on('close', () => ctrl.abort());
for await (const ev of egox.askStreamIter(req.body, { signal: ctrl.signal })) {
// ...
}Response Object
interface AskResponse {
threadId: string; // Conversation thread ID
answer: string; // AI's response text
intent: 'vanilla' | 'rag' | 'tools' | 'rag_tools';
toolUsed: string | null; // Tool name if one was called
ragChunksUsed: number; // Number of knowledge chunks used
usage: {
promptTokens: number;
completionTokens: number;
totalTokens: number;
};
model: string; // Model used (e.g., 'gpt-4.1')
}Webhook Signature Verification
When EgoX calls your tool endpoints, it signs the request. Verify these signatures to ensure requests are authentic.
Using Express Middleware
import express from 'express';
import { createEgoXMiddleware } from '@egox/client/express';
const app = express();
app.use(express.json());
// Create middleware with your webhook secret
const verifyEgoX = createEgoXMiddleware({
secret: process.env.EGOX_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
tolerance: 300, // Optional: max age in seconds (default: 5 min)
});
// Apply to your tool routes
app.post('/api/tools/check-order', verifyEgoX, (req, res) => {
// Request is verified - access metadata
console.log(req.egox?.requestId); // EgoX request ID
console.log(req.egox?.tenantId); // Tenant ID
// Your tool logic...
res.json({ status: 'Order shipped' });
});Manual Verification
import { verifySignature, validateSignature } from '@egox/client';
// Option 1: Throws on invalid signature
try {
verifySignature({
signature: req.headers['x-egox-signature'],
timestamp: req.headers['x-egox-timestamp'],
body: JSON.stringify(req.body),
secret: process.env.EGOX_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
});
// Signature is valid
} catch (error) {
// Signature is invalid
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid signature' });
}
// Option 2: Returns boolean
const isValid = validateSignature({
signature: req.headers['x-egox-signature'],
timestamp: req.headers['x-egox-timestamp'],
body: JSON.stringify(req.body),
secret: process.env.EGOX_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
});Error Handling
import {
EgoXError,
AuthenticationError,
ValidationError,
NetworkError,
TimeoutError,
RateLimitError,
} from '@egox/client';
try {
const response = await egox.ask({ message: 'Hello' });
} catch (error) {
if (error instanceof AuthenticationError) {
console.log('Invalid API key');
} else if (error instanceof ValidationError) {
console.log('Invalid request:', error.message);
} else if (error instanceof RateLimitError) {
console.log(`Rate limited. Retry after ${error.retryAfter}s`);
} else if (error instanceof TimeoutError) {
console.log('Request timed out');
} else if (error instanceof NetworkError) {
console.log('Network error:', error.message);
} else if (error instanceof EgoXError) {
console.log(`API error: ${error.code} - ${error.message}`);
}
}Health Check
const isHealthy = await egox.ping();
if (!isHealthy) {
console.log('EgoX API is not reachable');
}Headers Sent by EgoX
When EgoX calls your tool endpoints, it includes these headers:
| Header | Description |
|---|---|
X-EgoX-Signature |
HMAC-SHA256 signature (sha256=...) |
X-EgoX-Timestamp |
Unix timestamp of the request |
X-EgoX-Request-Id |
Unique request ID for debugging |
X-EgoX-Tenant-Id |
Your tenant/project ID |
