description	Interact with Mule AI workflow platform - manage providers, agents, skills, workflows, WASM modules, and execute AI tasks via OpenAI-compatible API.

Mule AI Agent Skill

This skill helps you interact with a running Mule AI workflow platform. Mule is an AI workflow platform that enables you to create, configure, and execute AI agents and workflows through an OpenAI-compatible API.

Prerequisites

Server Connection

Before interacting with Mule, you must determine the server URL:

Check for MULE_SERVER environment variable:
```
echo $MULE_SERVER
```
If MULE_SERVER is not set, ask the user to either:
- Set the MULE_SERVER environment variable (e.g., export MULE_SERVER=https://mule.butler.ooo)
- Provide the Mule server URL directly
All API requests should be made to the base URL stored in MULE_SERVER (e.g., curl ${MULE_SERVER}/v1/models)

Base URL Variable

Throughout this skill, replace ${MULE_SERVER} with the actual server URL. Common examples:

http://localhost:8080 (local development)
https://mule.butler.ooo (production)

Overview of Mule Primitives

Mule uses six core primitives stored in PostgreSQL:

Providers - AI provider configurations (OpenAI-compatible APIs)
Skills - Pi agent skills that can be assigned to agents
Agents - AI agents powered by pi RPC runtime
WASM Modules - WebAssembly modules for imperative code
Workflows - Ordered sequences of workflow steps
Workflow Steps - Individual execution steps (AGENT or WASM type)

Listing Available Models

To see what agents and workflows are available, list the models:

curl -s ${MULE_SERVER}/v1/models | jq .

Response format:

{
  "data": [
    { "id": "agent/my-agent", "object": "model", "owned_by": "mule" },
    { "id": "workflow/my-workflow", "object": "model", "owned_by": "mule" }
  ]
}

Agents are prefixed with agent/ and workflows with workflow/.

Executing Agents and Workflows

Execute an Agent

Run an agent using the /v1/chat/completions endpoint:

curl -s -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "agent/my-agent",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Your prompt here" }
    ]
  }' | jq .

Execute a Workflow (Synchronous)

Run a workflow synchronously (waits for completion):

curl -s -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "workflow/my-workflow",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Your input here" }
    ]
  }' | jq .

Execute a Workflow (Asynchronous)

Run a workflow asynchronously (returns immediately with job ID):

curl -s -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "async/workflow/my-workflow",
    "messages": [
      { "role": "user", "content": "Your input here" }
    ]
  }' | jq .

Response includes job ID:

{
  "id": "job-uuid-here",
  "object": "async.job",
  "status": "queued",
  "message": "The workflow has been started"
}

Check Job Status

For async workflows, check job status:

curl -s ${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/jobs/{job-id} | jq .

List All Jobs

curl -s "${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/jobs?page=1&page_size=20" | jq .

Query parameters:

page - Page number (default: 1)
page_size - Results per page (default: 20, max: 100)

Create a provider (if not exists):

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/providers \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "local-llm", "api_base_url": "http://localhost:11434/v1", "api_key_encrypted": "test"}'

Create an agent:

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/agents \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "assistant",
    "provider_id": "provider-id",
    "model_id": "llama3",
    "system_prompt": "You are a helpful assistant."
  }'

Execute the agent:

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "agent/assistant",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Hello!"}]
  }'

Example 2: Create a Multi-Step Workflow

Create a workflow:

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/workflows \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "analyze-data", "description": "Data analysis workflow", "is_async": false}'

Add step 1 - Data Collection Agent:

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/workflows/{workflow-id}/steps \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"step_order": 1, "type": "AGENT", "agent_id": "collector-agent-id", "config": {}}'

Add step 2 - Data Processing Agent:

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/workflows/{workflow-id}/steps \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"step_order": 2, "type": "AGENT", "agent_id": "processor-agent-id", "config": {}}'

Execute the workflow:

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "workflow/analyze-data",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Analyze this dataset..."}]
  }'

Example 3: Async Workflow Execution

Create an async workflow:

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/workflows \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name": "long-task", "is_async": true}'

Execute asynchronously:

curl -X POST ${MULE_SERVER}/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "async/workflow/long-task",
    "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "Start long task"}]
  }'

Check job status:

# Get job ID from response, then:
curl ${MULE_SERVER}/api/v1/jobs/{job-id}

Error Handling

Common error responses:

400 Bad Request - Invalid request body or parameters
404 Not Found - Resource not found
409 Conflict - Duplicate resource (e.g., provider name already exists)
500 Internal Server Error - Server-side error

Error responses include a message describing the issue.

WebSocket for Real-Time Updates

Connect to WebSocket for real-time job updates:

# Connect to WS endpoint
ws://${MULE_SERVER}/ws

The WebSocket sends job status updates as they occur.
