# Brainstorm
from @xintongsong @wenjin272 @joeyutong @pltbkd
## Must
- **Highlight Features**
- Conduct a comprehensive review of the existing API and design a
compatibility mechanism
- Support asynchronous execution for Java durable execution on JDK versions
below 21
- Support Sub Agent primitives #660
- Flink Agents Dev Skills: Provide Agent Skills to help users build
flink-agents based Agent via coding agent
- **Requirements from Production**
- API
- Support invoking multimodal models
- Support injecting parameters into tool calls #853
- Support structured output from ChatModel #280
- Runtime
- Support dynamic updates to the AgentPlan, covering events, actions, and
resources
- **Important Experience Improvements**
- Observability
- Support observing Memory through the EventLog
- Support Per-Run Trace to visualize the execution path of a single record
through the Agent #710
- Metrics improvements
- #857
- #858
- #859
- CI & Infra
- Support Flink 2.3 #833
- AI-assisted code review mechanism (explored within the release cycle; not
tied to a release)
## If Possible
- **API**
- Support to-C sources such as Slack / GitHub / Gmail / Jira
- Support conditional triggering of Actions #754
- Provide syntactic sugar for common workflow patterns to reduce the effort
of building Workflows
- fan-out / fan-in API
- **Runtime**
- MCP dynamic loading and refreshing #458
- Parallel tool call execution #855
- Agent Harness (governance layer)
- `WorkflowRunPolicy`: max events / max actions / max tokens / timeout
- Support safety guardrails and hooks
- **CI & Infra**
- Support automated validation of the quick start example via GitHub Actions
#642
- **SQL Integration**
- Support invoking Agents from SQL jobs
- Support Invoking Agents from CDC YAML
- Agent-specific SQL syntax (Table / View as VectorStore / KeyedContext),
Inject other Tables / Views as context into the Agent
- Support SQL Function / Operator as Action, reusing existing SQL / DataFrame
operator capabilities within Flink Agents
