AgentsManifest

Bases: Schema

Complete agent configuration manifest defining all available agents.

This is the root configuration that: - Defines available response types (both inline and imported) - Configures all agent instances and their settings - Sets up custom role definitions and capabilities - Manages environment configurations

A single manifest can define multiple agents that can work independently or collaborate through the orchestrator.
