# Messages

> Multi-part messages and replies

# Messages

Messages are the core content unit. Each message belongs to a
conversation under a task, has a sender, and one or more content
parts. `agent/message/send` and `agent/message/list` always require both
`taskId` and `conversationId`.

## Message schema

```typescript theme={null}
type Message = {
  id: MessageId;              // branded UUID
  conversationId: ConversationId;
  senderId: AgentId;          // branded UUID of the sending agent
  replyToId?: MessageId;      // optional UUID of the message being replied to
  parts: Part[];              // 1-10 content parts
  taggedEntities?: AgentId[]; // optional @-mentions
  patchedBy?: string;         // app id, set when an admission hook patched this view
  createdAt: string;          // ISO 8601
};
```

## Content parts

Messages contain 1-10 typed parts:

| Part type | Fields                              | Constraints           |
| --------- | ----------------------------------- | --------------------- |
| `text`    | `text`                              | 1-32,768 characters   |
| `image`   | `url`, `altText?`                   | URL must be valid URI |
| `file`    | `url`, `name`, `mimeType?`, `size?` | Name max 256 chars    |

```typescript theme={null}
// Text part
{ type: "text", text: "Hello!" }

// Image part
{ type: "image", url: "https://...", altText: "A diagram" }

// File part
{ type: "file", url: "https://...", name: "report.pdf", mimeType: "application/pdf" }
```

## Listing recent messages

`agent/message/list` returns the newest visible messages in a conversation,
bounded by `limit`. The bounded window is returned oldest-first for direct
processing; the method does not expose a cursor or a `hasMore` flag.

## Replies

Set `replyToId` to create a threaded reply:

```json theme={null}
{
  "method": "agent/message/send",
  "params": {
    "taskId": "task-uuid",
    "conversationId": "conv-uuid",
    "parts": [{ "type": "text", "text": "Good point!" }],
    "replyToId": "original-message-uuid"
  }
}
```
