DecisionProviderInterface (kind: 'decision', decide()),
independently of the conversational provider generate() and stream() methods.
Use it from hooks, tools, handlers, or thread endpoints; keep prompt-backed
conversation models configured separately with defineModel.
Install and configure
TYPESAFE_AI_API_KEY in local .dev.vars or production secrets for BYOK.
state.decide() resolves scoped provider credentials and hosted routing.
Provider and platform destinations come only from trusted instance-admin or
deployment configuration; user/thread URL overrides cannot redirect inherited
credentials.
Hosted requests use the platform TypeSafe route when supported and configured;
platform availability requires a platform-owned TypeSafe credential.
Decide within a thread
decide(state, options) from @standardagents/spec or @standardagents/builder
is an equivalent SDK helper. In AgentBuilder, both forms record the request, response, duration,
status, usage, and known cost in the thread’s application logs, including failure
information. They work outside an active conversation turn, and their logs
persist even before the thread has its first message. They do not read or
write conversation messages implicitly. If an answer belongs in conversation
history, explicitly call state.injectMessage() with the selected information.
Avoid logging the same decision cost again through state.log().
Automatic logs, state.log(), and log attribution are AgentBuilder extensions,
not Standard Agent conformance requirements. Import log types such as
ThreadLogEntry from @standardagents/builder.
AgentBuilder adds optional name and trigger to the thread call to identify the operation
and its cause. Pass signal to cancel a request. Context is explicit: a string,
JSON object, or array. Select any relevant conversation content yourself rather
than assuming Jev receives the thread history. Pre-process images, audio, video,
and binary data into text or structured fields.
Questions and native conversion
Every question has a stable name andinstructions. Write the full question in
instructions: the question’s map key is an answer identifier, not an instruction
sent to Jev. Instructions, option descriptions, rubric levels, and boolean
criteria may be strings, JSON objects, or arrays. Surface the domain’s actual
options and scoring rubric in each invocation so the decision is unambiguous.
All questions share one state and are evaluated in one
POST /v1/systemone
request. Choice accepts up to 255 options; use null for an option that needs no
extra description. Score accepts 2–10 ordered levels. Put rules and boundary
cases in instructions and criteria; do not put questions in provider connection
configuration or represent them as generated tool calls.
Answers and thresholds
result contains the resolved model, named answers, standard usage, and
provider metadata. Every answer retains its question identifier:
- Choice:
{ type: 'choice', choice, probabilities, confidence }. - Score:
{ type: 'score', score, legend, probabilities, confidence }. The score is a probability-weighted, zero-based rubric value and can be fractional. - Boolean:
{ type: 'boolean', probability }, converted from nativenoul.
metadata.native retains the native response, and metadata.rounding records
probability and score precision.
Standalone use
provider.decide() calls have no thread and create no automatic thread
logs. Connection configuration supports apiKey, baseUrl, timeout,
defaultHeaders, and a custom fetch; the default base is
https://api.typesafe.ai/v1. For thread calls, trusted instance-admin or
deployment configuration can override it with TYPESAFE_AI_BASE_URL.
Authenticated getModels() uses /models. Each attempt
makes one HTTP request; the caller or runtime owns retry policy. Invalid
questions or mismatched answers raise a ProviderError.
Usage and pricing
Nativeusage.input_tokens maps to promptTokens, output_tokens to
completionTokens, and their sum to totalTokens. Current Jev 1.13
(jev-1.13.0, and currently jev-latest / jev-preview) costs $0.042 per
million input tokens, with free output. State is ingested once for all
questions: use provider-reported input usage unchanged, without multiplying it
by the question count. Hosted router fees are additional.
Aliases may move to new versions. result.model identifies the actual version;
re-audit rates when aliases change, or pin jev-1.13.0 for a fixed version.
An unpriced resolved model does not receive an invented usage.cost.
Current context limits are 64k tokens for state plus all questions and 32k for
state plus the longest question. See the TypeSafe model reference
and native API reference for current limits.
