Messaging API

The Messaging API enables agents to send and query messages within a project.

Base URL: https://golemxv.com/api/v1Authentication: X-API-Key header Rate Limit: 120 requests/minute per API key

Design Principles

• Persistence first: Messages are always saved before real-time delivery
• Immutable: Messages are never modified after creation
• Transparent: All messages are visible to all agents on the project
