Interface: TurnContext
Defined in: src/lib/contracts/turn_runner_context.ts:331
The validated, strongly-typed context object threaded through every middleware step in a single agent turn.
Remarks
Constructed from a RawTurnContext by @nhtio/adk!TurnRunner.run. Middleware functions receive this object and use it to read and share state across pipeline steps.
Properties
| Property | Modifier | Type | Description | Defined in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
abort | readonly | (reason?: unknown) => void | Aborts the turn's AbortController with the supplied reason. Middleware should call this when refusing the turn — the runner reads aborted between every stage and short-circuits cleanly: turnEnd still fires, no error event is emitted, and during dispatch dispatchEnd.status === 'aborted' carries the operational signal. | src/lib/contracts/turn_runner_context.ts:721 |
aborted | readonly | boolean | true when the turn's AbortController signal has fired. | src/lib/contracts/turn_runner_context.ts:712 |
abortSignal | readonly | AbortSignal | The AbortSignal from the turn's AbortController. | src/lib/contracts/turn_runner_context.ts:714 |
