Formant Agent SDK

aid: formant:formant-agent-sdk
name: Formant Agent SDK
description: Python client embedded in the `formant` PyPI package (`pip install formant`, `from formant.sdk.agent.v1
  import Client`). Runs on-robot alongside the Formant agent and exposes typed ingestion methods — `post_image`,
  `post_numeric`, `post_numericset`, `post_bitset`, `post_text`, `post_geolocation`, `post_battery`, `post_json`
  — plus `register_command_request_callback` / `send_command_response` for bidirectional command handling
  and teleoperation hooks. Stream creation is implicit on first ingest. Use it when you are not on ROS
  and want to drive Formant from robot-side Python, or when you want finer-grained control than the ROS
  adapter provides.
