Conversation
Add comprehensive documentation to key agent-protocol types: - AgentPool: connection pooling and load balancing - Decision: agent response types (Allow, Block, Redirect, Challenge) - AgentHandlerV2: trait for implementing agent handlers - GrpcAgentServerV2/UdsAgentServerV2: transport server types Includes usage examples, error handling guidance, and feature explanations to help agent authors understand the protocol API. Resolves zentinelproxy#114

Review: docs(agent-protocol)
Good intent. These types need documentation. However, the examples have multiple inaccuracies that would mislead agent authors and fail to compile. Details below.
protocol.rs (Decision docs)
use zentinel_agent_protocol::{Decision, HashMap}:HashMapis not re-exported from the crate root. Should usestd::collections::HashMap.- Otherwise looks good.
pool.rs (AgentPool docs)
max_connections_per_agent: the actual field name isconnections_per_agent(nomax_prefix).pool.add_grpc_agent(...)/pool.add_uds_agent(...): these methods do not exist. The pool uses a genericadd_agent()method.pool.process_request(...): does not exist. The method issend_request_headers().- The new doc block is placed after the existing doc comment, creating two disconnected doc blocks on the same item. These should be merged into one.
server.rs (AgentHandlerV2 docs)
- The new doc block replaces the existing bullet list but leaves behind a dangling
///line, creating a malformed doc comment. AgentCapabilities { events: vec![...] }: the field is actuallysupported_events: Vec<EventType>, notevents: Vec<String>.AgentResponse::new(Decision::Block { ... }): there is nonew()constructor. Should use the named constructors likeAgentResponse::block(status, body, headers).server.serve(addr): the method is actuallyrun(addr), notserve().
server.rs (GrpcAgentServerV2 docs)
server.serve(addr): same issue, the method isrun(addr).
uds_server.rs (UdsAgentServerV2 docs)
server.serve(): the method isrun(), notserve().- Claims "Hot reload: Supports graceful restart without losing connections" and "Removes stale socket files on startup": please verify these are actual behaviors, not aspirational.
Summary
6 incorrect method/field names across the examples. Every code example would fail to compile as written. Please do a pass against the actual API signatures before merging.
Address review feedback from @raffaelschneider: - protocol.rs: use std::collections::HashMap instead of non-existent crate re-export - pool.rs: fix field name to connections_per_agent (not max_), use add_agent() and send_request_headers() (correct method names) - server.rs: use AgentCapabilities::new() builder + with_event(), AgentResponse::block() named constructor, server.run() not serve(), merge disconnected doc blocks, fix imports - uds_server.rs: server.run() not serve(), remove inaccurate "hot reload" and "graceful shutdown" claims

Review: docs(agent-protocol) — post-fix pass
The 6 issues from the previous review are all fixed. Three new issues remain in pool.rs:
1. send_request_headers call signature is wrong
The doc example shows 2 args:
let response = pool.send_request_headers("waf", headers).await?;Actual signature takes 3:
pub async fn send_request_headers(&self, agent_id: &str, correlation_id: &str, event: &RequestHeadersEvent)Missing correlation_id, and headers should be a &RequestHeadersEvent.
2. add_agent parameter is misleading
pool.add_agent("waf", agent_connection).await?;The second parameter is endpoint: impl Into<String>: a string like "unix:/tmp/waf.sock" or "127.0.0.1:5000", not an opaque agent_connection object. Something like this would be clearer:
pool.add_agent("waf", "unix:/tmp/waf.sock").await?;3. Duplicate summary on AgentPool doc block
The fix commit merged the disconnected doc blocks on AgentHandlerV2 but not on AgentPool. The existing doc block (starting with "Agent connection pool. Manages multiple connections...") is still intact, and the new block appends a second summary ("Connection pool for managing agent connections with load balancing and health monitoring..."). This produces a doc comment with two introductions. These should be merged into one cohesive block.
- Fix add_agent example to use endpoint string instead of agent_connection object - Fix send_request_headers to include all 3 required parameters: agent_id, correlation_id, event - Merge duplicate doc summaries on AgentPool into one cohesive block

Fixed |
- Fix duplicate doc block on AgentPool - Improve example documentation clarity
- Fix send_request_headers signature (3 params: agent_id, correlation_id, event) - Fix add_agent parameter documentation (use string endpoint, not object) - Merge duplicate AgentPool doc blocks into single coherent block - Fix field name: max_connections_per_agent → connections_per_agent - Update method names: add_grpc_agent/add_uds_agent → add_agent - Update method names: process_request → send_request_headers

4 of the doc examples were failing The main issue was the All doc tests pass now. :) |

Superseded by #140, which includes all commits from this PR plus the doc test fixes, merged with main. |
Summary
Add comprehensive documentation to key agent-protocol public API types to help agent authors understand how to use the protocol effectively.
