# Deploy to AgentKit

VeADK 1.0.6 can deploy a local agent as an AgentKit Runtime with shared application infrastructure for conversation endpoints, health checks, agent topology, the built-in Web UI, short-term session defaults, and an optional Feishu lifecycle.

## Prerequisites

* Install `veadk-python==1.0.6`.
* Sign in or configure Volcengine access credentials.
* Export an importable `root_agent` from the project.
* Do not commit `.env`, API keys, or access credentials to source control.

## Create the application

Studio-generated projects call `create_agentkit_app`. Manually created projects can use the same entry point:

```python title="app.py" lines theme={null}
from agents.customer_support.agent import root_agent
from veadk.integrations.agentkit import create_agentkit_app

app = create_agentkit_app(
    root_agent,
    {root_agent.name: "Customer support"},
)
```

The application exposes AgentKit conversation APIs and these public endpoints:

| Endpoint | Purpose |
| - | - |
| `/ping` | Health check. |
| `/web/agent-info/{app_name}` | Agent metadata. |
| `/web/agent-graph` | Agent topology. |
| `/` | Built-in Web UI. |

## Initialize and deploy

Run these commands in the project directory:

```bash lines theme={null}
veadk agentkit init
veadk agentkit config
veadk agentkit launch
```

After deployment, inspect the Runtime and invoke it:

```bash lines theme={null}
veadk agentkit status
veadk agentkit invoke -m "Describe your capabilities"
```

`veadk agentkit` uses the same project configuration and workflows as AgentKit CLI. See the [AgentKit CLI 0.46.6 documentation](/productions/agentkit-cli/archives/0.46.6/en/index) for complete commands, flags, and destructive-operation guidance.

<Warning>
  Destroying a Runtime removes its cloud execution resources. Before running `veadk agentkit destroy`, verify the project, region, and Runtime identifier and retain any logs or data you need.
