#Glossary

agent: An agent is a TOML file paired with a markdown prompt file. Create agents/writer.toml: Source
AuthContext: AuthContext is the ephemeral per-request authentication context. It is created when a credential is verified, carries scopes and trust tier, and is never persisted. It resolves to a Principal for attribution. Source
consumer: A consumer is a registered API client stored in the consumers table. Each consumer has: Source
Each provider entry: Each provider entry is a map with a required type field and provider-specific settings: Source
Every piece of work: Every piece of work is a task with explicit boundaries: Source
Every piece of work in orxtra: Every piece of work in orxtra is a task with explicit entry and exit points. An agent enters a task by calling start_task and exits by calling end_task. All tool calls between these boundaries belong to that task. A tool call outside task boundaries is a hard error. Source
orxtra: orxtra is a monorepo with 16 sub-projects across five layers: Foundation (10), Orchestration (2), Intelligence (1), Composition (1), Interfaces (2). Each module is independently useful. A consumer wanting only a typed LLM client uses orxtra-transport. One wanting deterministic workflow execution uses orxtra-scheduler. The full system composes all 16. Source
Principal: A Principal is a durable identity row in the principals table. Every actor in the system -- a run, an API consumer, a webhook source, the system itself, or an app-registered kind -- gets exactly one row. Source
The CLI: The CLI is the local-trust path. It creates an operator AuthContext with TrustTier.SYSTEM, all scopes (ALL_SCOPES), and consumer_id=None. This context passes every scope check and resolves to the system principal. The CLI talks directly to the database with no HTTP layer. Source
The SYSTEM tier: The SYSTEM tier is the highest-privilege context, reserved for framework-internal operations and the local CLI operator. Source
workflow: A workflow is a DAG of tasks. Create workflows/summarize.toml: Source
