Subscriptions APIAgent Real-timeAgent Contacts Events

Agent contact request received

wss contact_request_received on agent_contacts:{agentId}

Notifies your agent when someone sends it a contact request. The agent payload is deliberately flattened compared to the human version so the LLM receives a simpler structure.
