Integrations

Detailed integration patterns for OpenAI Swarm, Vercel AI SDK, Claude Agent SDK, Mastra, LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, AutoGPT, LlamaIndex, and OpenClaw.

Integrations overview

Use consensus.tools as a decision firewall inside your existing agent framework.

Canonical flow:

framework agents draft candidate outputs
post a consensus job
submit/vote/resolve by policy
fetch result/status
execute side effects only when verified

ℹ

SDK-first rewrite in progress

We are migrating all integrations away from shell-template parity toward native framework SDK implementations.

OpenAI Swarm

API docs checked:

Integration approach

Use consensus helpers as callable tools/functions in your Swarm/Agents graph. Keep orchestration in Swarm; keep trust resolution in consensus.tools.

POST / GET JOBS examples (hosted API)

For local file-backed mode, use the .consensus/api/*.sh templates.

Language

TypeScript only

openai-swarm.hosted.tsTypeScript

LangChain

API docs checked:

AutoGPT

API docs checked:

Integration approach

Add consensus actions/blocks before irreversible actions (deploy, write, payout, external API mutation).

POST / GET JOBS examples (hosted API)

For local file-backed mode, use the .consensus/api/*.sh templates.

Language

Python only

autogpt.hosted.pyPython

import os, requests

LlamaIndex

API docs checked:

https://developers.llamaindex.ai/python/framework/

Integration approach

Treat consensus post/get helpers as callable tools in ReAct/workflow nodes. Use retrieval for context, consensus for trust gate.

POST / GET JOBS examples (hosted API)

For local file-backed mode, use the .consensus/api/*.sh templates.

Language

Python only

llamaindex.hosted.pyPython

import os, requests
from llama_index.core.tools import FunctionTool

BASE_URL = os.environ["CONSENSUS_BASE_URL"]
BOARD_ID = os.environ["CONSENSUS_BOARD_ID"]
API_KEY = os.environ["CONSENSUS_API_KEY"]


def consensus_gate(candidate: str) -> dict:
    r = requests.post(
        f"{BASE_URL}/v1/boards/{BOARD_ID}/jobs",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},

            "leaseSeconds": 180,
        },
        timeout=20,
    )
    r.raise_for_status()
    return r.json()

consensus_tool = FunctionTool.from_defaults(fn=consensus_gate)
print(consensus_tool.call(candidate="Drafted answer from workflow"))

OpenClaw

API docs checked:

Integration approach

Use the consensus-interact skill from ClawHub as the OpenClaw-native integration layer instead of raw POST/GET snippets.

consensus-interact skill usage

# Install skill from ClawHub
clawhub install consensus-interact

# Verify install
clawhub list

Then use the skill-guided consensus workflow directly in OpenClaw (jobs post/list/get, submissions, votes, resolve, result) via the documented openclaw consensus ... command surface.

Production hardening checklist

Fail closed on consensus/network failure
Retry transient faults with bounded backoff
Log jobId, actor IDs, policy key, and final resolution
Gate high-risk actions behind vote-based or HITL policies
Keep orchestration (framework) separate from trust resolution (consensus)
