# Interface: RawTurnContext

Defined in: [lib/contracts/turn\_runner\_context.ts:35](https://github.com/NHTIO/ADK/blob/v1.20260605.0/src/lib/contracts/turn_runner_context.ts#L35)

Plain input object supplied to [TurnContext](TurnContext.md) at construction time.

## Remarks

Validated against `turnContextSchema` before the `TurnContext` instance is created.
Fields will grow as the turn execution model takes shape (e.g. input message, tool
definitions, model client config).
