Reload Scope • AI Agent SDK

ReloadScope: Canonical classification of a changed config “path“'s reload scope.

ReloadScope

Defined in the config module.

Canonical classification of a changed config `path`’s reload scope.

Values are plain strings so wrapper/runtime code can compare without importing this class. `FULL` is the fail-safe default for unknown or structural changes.

• `HOT: apply in place, no restart (see :func:is_hot_appliable`).
• `CHANNEL: a change under channels.<name>` — restart only that one
• channel; other channels keep their connections and in-flight turns.
• `AGENTS`: an agent/provider/guardrails change — recreate agents only,
• without bouncing channels.
• `FULL`: unknown or structural change — full restart (fail-safe).
