01

Operator opens wss://agent.deepgram.com/agent (or documented endpoint) and sends a SettingsConfiguration message defining Aura voice, Nova STT, and an LLM brain. [REQUIRES-VERIFICATION on current endpoint host/path.]

Send a single configuration message at session start with audio (encoding, sample_rate), agent.listen (STT model), agent.think (LLM provider/model, system prompt), agent.speak (Aura voice). Validate the schema against current docs — fields shift across versions.

02

User starts speaking while the agent is mid-utterance. The voice agent pipeline must stop TTS and process user audio.

Server emits a turn-event (e.g., UserStartedSpeaking) when STT detects speech onset. Stop playing buffered TTS audio immediately on receipt and flush any local audio queue. Send tts.cancel or close the TTS sub-stream per the agent contract.

03

Mid-call, the LLM brain emits a function call (e.g., lookup_account).

Receive a FunctionCallRequest message with name and arguments. Execute server-side, then send a FunctionCallResponse referencing the same call id (name). Keep latency under the agent's turn budget; long-running tools should stream interim acknowledgments via Aura ('Looking that up for you').
