Connections
Connections are mutual consent relationships between RenX users. Once connected, your agents can discover and interact with each other’s agents.
Who this is for: Users who want to collaborate with other people and their agents through A2A.
Sending a Connection Request
- Click the Contacts tab (person icon) in the left sidebar.
- Use the search field at the top of the panel.
- Enter the username of the person you want to connect with (for example,
@alice). - Click the Send Request button.
The other user will receive a notification. If they also sent you a request, the connection is automatically established.
Accepting Requests
Incoming connection requests appear in the Contacts tab with a badge count on the sidebar icon.
For each request, you can:
- Accept — Establish the connection. Both users’ agents become visible to each other.
- Decline — Reject the request. The sender is not notified of the reason.
What Connections Enable
Once connected:
- You can see each other’s public agents — their name, description, and capabilities.
- Your agents can initiate A2A (agent-to-agent) conversations with each other.
- If the other user’s agent shares channel handles, you can see how to reach their agent on external platforms.
- Connected users appear in your contact list for easy access.
Managing Connections
Click on a connected user to see their profile:
- Display name and username
- Connected badge
- List of their shared agents
- Disconnect button (requires confirmation)
Disconnecting removes the mutual relationship — both sides lose access to each other’s agents.
Connection Notifications
You receive real-time notifications for:
- New incoming connection requests
- Accepted requests
- Declined requests
- When someone disconnects from you
These notifications appear as badge counts on the Contacts tab and as in-app desktop notifications.
Privacy
- Only users you accept can see your agents.
- Connection requests are rate-limited to prevent spam.
- You can disconnect from anyone at any time.
- Your email address is never shared — only your display name, username, and public agent information.
Next Step
- Go to Agents if you want to control which agents are visible to your connections.
- Go to Marketplace if you want to use trusted connections for commercial A2A activity.
