Fishjam Python Server SDK

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Writing a Python backend (FastAPI
• Aiohttp) that talks to Fishjam
• Decorates a notification handler
• Decodes a Fishjam webhook

Example prompts

• “fishjam-server-sdk”
• “pip install fishjam-server-sdk”
• “from fishjam import”
• “/fishjam-python-server-sdk”

Requirements

• Python 3
• A credential in FISHJAM_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e3f00cd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • pip

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

  • FISHJAM_MANAGEMENT_TOKEN

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Fishjam Python Server SDK loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 239 tokens; SKILL.md has 413 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~239

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.3k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description

Python server SDK for Fishjam — backends that create rooms, mint peer tokens, receive server notifications, and run voice agents. Use when writing a Python backend (FastAPI, Flask, Starlette, aiohttp) that talks to Fishjam, decorates a notification handler, decodes a Fishjam webhook, or builds an AI voice agent in Python. Trigger on: 'fishjam-server-sdk', 'pip install fishjam-server-sdk', 'from fishjam import', 'fishjam.FishjamClient', 'FishjamNotifier', 'on_server_notification', 'receive_binary', 'fishjam Agent', 'AgentSession', 'PeerOptions', 'RoomOptions', 'AgentOptions', 'AgentOutputOptions', 'OutgoingAudioTrackOptions', 'create_room', 'create_peer', 'create_agent', 'create_vapi_agent', 'create_livestream_streamer_token', 'create_moq_token', 'subscribe_peer', 'fastapi fishjam', 'flask fishjam', 'fishjam python', 'gemini fishjam python'. Python 3.10+. The REST client is synchronous; notifier and agent are async.
