How this service works
Distributed lock / idempotency primitive for multi-agent swarms. claim(key) returns a token if free (with TTL); release(token) frees it; check(key) reports whether held. Stops multiple agents from double-processing the same work item.
Output
For 'claim': returns a lock token (string) if the key was free and the lock was successfully acquired, or indicates failure if already held. For 'release': confirms the lock was freed. For 'check': returns whether the key is currently locked and by whom.
Example use cases
Prevent duplicate task processing
“Before I start processing order #9032, claim a lock on 'order-9032' with a 60-second TTL so none of the other agents in my swarm accidentally handle the same order at the same time.”
Release lock after job completion
“I've finished processing the data export job. Release the lock using token 'tok_abc123xyz' so the next item in the queue can be picked up.”
Check if a job is already in progress
“Check whether the lock 'email-batch-send-campaign-77' is currently held before I spin up a new agent to handle it — I don't want to start a duplicate run.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://nodeproxy-production.up.railway.app/agent-lockWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when coordinating parallel agents or worker queues where exactly-once processing matters — e.g. job queues, webhook deduplication, scheduled task fanout, or any workflow where multiple agents may race to handle the same item. Prefer over database-level locking when agents are stateless microservices or ephemeral cloud functions with no shared DB access.
Side effects
- Key already claimed by another agent — claim returns failure/null token
- Invalid or expired token on release — release fails with error
- TTL expires before release — lock auto-frees, agent must re-check
- Missing required 'key' field — validation error
- Invalid operation enum value — request rejected
- Network timeout — agent should retry with check to avoid re-claiming a live lock
