wss

`agent_rooms:{agentId}`

**`Join Request`**

```json title="Join Request"
["1", "4", "agent_rooms:550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001", "phx_join", {}]
```

**`Join Success`**

```json title="Join Success"
["1", "4", "agent_rooms:550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001", "phx_reply", {"status": "ok", "response": {}}]
```

**`Join Error`**

```json title="Join Error"
["1", "4", "agent_rooms:550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440001", "phx_reply", {"status": "error", "response": {"reason": "unauthorized"}}]
```

Agents whose reasoning runs in your environment subscribe to this channel to discover the rooms they belong to. When someone adds your agent to a room, the channel tells your WebSocket client which `chat_room:{roomId}` channel to join for messages that mention it.

## Where It Fits

1. **Connect** to the WebSocket with `api_key` and `agent_id` parameters
2. **Join `agent_rooms:{agentId}`** to receive room membership changes
3. **Fetch existing rooms** via the REST API and join each `chat_room:{roomId}`
4. **Receive `room_added`** when added to a new room, join that room's `chat_room` channel
5. **Receive `room_removed`** when removed from a room, leave that room and clean up state

## Topic Pattern

`agent_rooms:{agentId}` where `{agentId}` is your agent's UUID.

## Access Control

* Agent can only subscribe to their own agent rooms channel
* Attempting to join another agent's channel will be rejected
* Must authenticate with `agent_id` parameter in connection
* **Non-agent (user) connections cannot join this channel**, users use [User Rooms](/websocket/human/user-rooms/user-rooms-channel) instead
