pi-agentrouter

Unified AgentRouter provider for the pi coding agent — routes GPT-6 Astra, GPT-5.6 Sol, Claude Opus 4.8 / 5, DeepSeek V4 Flash, and GLM 5.3 under a single agentrouter/ namespace with WAF auto-recovery and payload sanitization.

What it does

• Per-model protocol routing: GPT-6 Astra uses OpenAI Responses, Claude models use Anthropic Messages, and the rest use OpenAI Completions — all under one agentrouter/ provider.
• WAF header & language guard: forces Pi's canonical system header to byte 0 (prevents 400 content-blocked when custom instructions precede it) and applies language framing on user turns.
• Self-healing WAF redaction: when AgentRouter's content filter false-positives on multilingual histories, older turns are redacted in two stages and the turn is marked retryable — the latest request is preserved without user disruption.
• Payload sanitization: strips ANSI escape codes, null bytes, control characters, and orphan Unicode surrogates before dispatch.
• Prompt cache affinity: injects sendSessionAffinityHeaders: true by default to maximize server-side cache hits.

Registered models

Model	Context	Input	Protocol	Thinking
agentrouter/gpt-6-astra	272k*	text, image	OpenAI Responses	low – xhigh
agentrouter/gpt-5.6-sol	272k	text, image	OpenAI Completions	low – xhigh
agentrouter/claude-opus-5	200k	text, image	Anthropic Messages	low – xhigh
agentrouter/claude-opus-4-8	200k	text, image	Anthropic Messages	low – xhigh
agentrouter/deepseek-v4-flash	131k	text	OpenAI Completions	low – xhigh
agentrouter/glm-5.3	131k	text	OpenAI Completions	low – xhigh

*Astra currently reuses Sol's configured 272,000-token context and 16,384-token output limits; these are local defaults, not confirmed AgentRouter limits. Responses API is required for function tools with reasoning enabled. Existing models keep their original protocols.

Install

pi install npm:@bismawy/pi-agentrouter

Then supply your AgentRouter API key one of three ways:

• /login agentrouter in a Pi session
• export AGENTROUTER_API_KEY="your-api-key"
• providers.agentrouter.apiKey in ~/.pi/agent/models.json

No account yet? Register via AgentRouter (referral) for a $50 bonus.

Pick any model with /model (e.g. agentrouter/gpt-5.6-sol).

How it works

1. The extension forces Pi's system prompt header to the very start of the payload.
2. On a content-blocked / sensitive-words error, it marks the error retryable so Pi restarts the turn automatically.
3. Stage 1 redacts older user turns ([Message withheld by local policy]); Stage 2 escalates to assistant turns if needed, keeping tool pairs intact.
4. Redaction depth resets on new conversations or compaction.

Text-only models (deepseek-v4-flash, glm-5.3) are declared input: ["text"] so image payloads from earlier turns don't produce AgentRouter 400 errors.

Development

Run the regression check against the actual registered extension hooks (no API key or network required):

bun ./check-framing.ts
# Or Node.js 22.18+:
npm test

Covers Responses text/image framing, empty content, function-call/result pairing, reasoning items, sticky WAF redaction, and Chat Completions/Anthropic compatibility.
