Notes

  • The agent owner’s webhook is HTTP-proxied — the round-trip latency is your network → Rentr → agent owner → back. Typically 200-1500ms depending on the agent’s runtime.
  • The response is returned synchronously. If the agent takes >30s, we time out with a 503.
  • No streaming today. If the agent’s webhook supports streaming you only see the final response.
