# Cycles Rust Client
Rust client for the [Cycles](https://runcycles.io) budget-management protocol — deterministic spend control for AI agents and LLM workflows.
Cycles provides concurrency-safe spend and action control for autonomous agent
runtimes. This crate implements the reserve-execute-commit lifecycle with an
idiomatic Rust API built around RAII guards and ownership semantics.
## Installation
```toml
[dependencies]
runcycles = "0.2"
```
## Quick Start — Automatic Lifecycle (`with_cycles`)
Like Python's `@cycles` decorator or TypeScript's `withCycles`. Reserve, execute,
and commit/release are handled automatically:
```rust,no_run
use runcycles::{CyclesClient, with_cycles, WithCyclesConfig, models::*};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), runcycles::Error> {
let client = CyclesClient::builder("my-api-key", "http://localhost:7878")
.tenant("acme")
.build();
let reply = with_cycles(
&client,
WithCyclesConfig::new(Amount::tokens(1000))
.action("llm.completion", "gpt-4o")
.subject(Subject { tenant: Some("acme".into()), ..Default::default() }),
|ctx| async move {
// ctx.caps, ctx.decision, ctx.reservation_id available
let result = call_llm("Hello").await;
Ok((result, Amount::tokens(42))) // (return_value, actual_cost)
},
).await?;
// On success → auto-commits. On error → auto-releases.
println!("LLM said: {reply}");
Ok(())
}
# async fn call_llm(_: &str) -> String { "hi".into() }
```
## Manual Control — RAII Guard
For streaming, multi-step workflows, or when you need full control:
```rust,no_run
use runcycles::{CyclesClient, Error, models::*};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
let client = CyclesClient::builder("my-api-key", "http://localhost:7878")
.tenant("acme")
.build();
// Reserve budget — returns an RAII guard
let guard = client.reserve(
ReservationCreateRequest::builder()
.subject(Subject { tenant: Some("acme".into()), ..Default::default() })
.action(Action::new("llm.completion", "gpt-4o"))
.estimate(Amount::usd_microcents(5000))
.build()
).await?;
// Check caps if decision is AllowWithCaps
if let Some(caps) = guard.caps() {
println!("max_tokens: {:?}", caps.max_tokens);
}
// ... perform the guarded operation ...
// Commit actual spend (consumes the guard — cannot double-commit)
guard.commit(
CommitRequest::builder()
.actual(Amount::usd_microcents(3200))
.build()
).await?;
Ok(())
}
```
## Design
The Rust client is not a port — it is designed from the ground up around Rust's
type system and ownership model:
| Feature | How |
|---------|-----|
| **No double-commit** | `commit(self)` consumes the guard — compile error to reuse |
| **No forgotten reservations** | `#[must_use]` warns if guard is ignored |
| **Auto-cleanup** | `Drop` does best-effort release via `tokio::spawn` |
| **Type-safe IDs** | `ReservationId`, `IdempotencyKey` newtypes prevent mixups |
| **Forward-compatible** | `#[non_exhaustive]` enums for protocol evolution |
| **Zero mapper code** | `serde` with `rename_all` handles wire format natively |
### RAII Guard
The `ReservationGuard` gives manual control over the lifecycle. It holds a live
reservation and auto-extends TTL via a background heartbeat. The guard IS the
context — no thread-locals or task-locals needed.
```rust,no_run
# use runcycles::{CyclesClient, Error, models::*};
# async fn example(client: CyclesClient) -> Result<(), Error> {
let guard = client.reserve(/* ... */
# ReservationCreateRequest::builder()
# .subject(Subject { tenant: Some("acme".into()), ..Default::default() })
# .action(Action::new("llm.completion", "gpt-4o"))
# .estimate(Amount::usd_microcents(5000))
# .build()
).await?;
// The guard provides all context
guard.reservation_id(); // &ReservationId
guard.decision(); // Decision::Allow or AllowWithCaps
guard.caps(); // Option<&Caps>
guard.is_capped(); // bool
guard.affected_scopes(); // &[String]
// Commit or release (both consume `self`)
guard.commit(CommitRequest::builder().actual(Amount::usd_microcents(3200)).build()).await?;
// guard.commit(...) here would be a COMPILE ERROR
# Ok(())
# }
```
### Low-Level Client
For full control, use the client methods directly:
```rust,no_run
# use runcycles::{CyclesClient, models::*};
# async fn example(client: CyclesClient) -> Result<(), runcycles::Error> {
let resp = client.create_reservation(&ReservationCreateRequest::builder()
.subject(Subject { tenant: Some("acme".into()), ..Default::default() })
.action(Action::new("llm.completion", "gpt-4o"))
.estimate(Amount::usd_microcents(5000))
.build()
).await?;
if resp.decision.is_allowed() {
let id = resp.reservation_id.unwrap();
// ... do work ...
client.commit_reservation(&id, &CommitRequest::builder()
.actual(Amount::usd_microcents(3200))
.build()
).await?;
}
# Ok(())
# }
```
## Error Handling
Errors use pattern matching:
```rust,no_run
use runcycles::Error;
# fn example(err: Error) {
match err {
Error::BudgetExceeded { message, .. } => {
println!("Budget exceeded: {}", message);
}
Error::Api { status, code, .. } => {
println!("API error ({}): {:?}", status, code);
}
Error::Transport(e) => {
println!("Network error: {}", e);
}
_ => {}
}
# }
```
## Configuration
### From code
```rust,no_run
# use runcycles::CyclesClient;
let client = CyclesClient::builder("my-api-key", "http://localhost:7878")
.tenant("acme")
.workspace("production")
.connect_timeout(std::time::Duration::from_secs(2))
.read_timeout(std::time::Duration::from_secs(5))
.retry_enabled(true)
.retry_max_attempts(5)
.build();
```
### From environment
```rust,no_run
# use runcycles::{CyclesClient, CyclesConfig};
// Reads CYCLES_BASE_URL, CYCLES_API_KEY, CYCLES_TENANT, etc.
let config = CyclesConfig::from_env().expect("missing env vars");
let client = CyclesClient::new(config);
```
