Formant Agent SDK is one of 7 APIs that [Formant](https://apis.io/providers/formant/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include SDK, Agents, Python, and Telemetry. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Python client embedded in the `formant` PyPI package (`pip install formant`, `from formant.sdk.agent.v1 import Client`). Runs on-robot alongside the Formant agent and exposes typed ingestion methods — `post_image`, `post_numeric`, `post_numericset`, `post_bitset`, `post_text`, `post_geolocation`, `post_battery`, `post_json` — plus `register_command_request_callback` / `send_command_response` for bidirectional command handling and teleoperation hooks. Stream creation is implicit on first ingest. Use it when you are not on ROS and want to drive Formant from robot-side Python, or when you want finer-grained control than the ROS adapter provides.
