Composio — External App Integration via Gateway

Composio lets users connect 1000+ external apps (Gmail, Slack, GitHub, Google Calendar, Notion, etc.) to their Starchild agent. All operations go through the Composio Gateway (composio-gateway.fly.dev), which handles auth and API key management.

Architecture

Agent (Fly 6PN network)
    ↓  HTTP (auto-authenticated by IPv6)
Composio Gateway (composio-gateway.fly.dev)
    ↓  Composio SDK
Composio Cloud → Target API (Gmail, Slack, etc.)

• You never touch the COMPOSIO_API_KEY — the gateway holds it
• You never call Composio SDK directly — use the gateway HTTP API
• Authentication is automatic — your Fly 6PN IPv6 resolves to a user_id via the billing DB
• No env vars needed — the gateway is always accessible from any agent container

Gateway Base URL

GATEWAY = "http://composio-gateway.flycast"

All requests use plain HTTP over Fly internal network (flycast). No JWT needed.

API Reference

1. Search Tools (compact)

Find the right tool slug for a task. Returns compact tool info — just slug, description, and parameter names. Enough to pick the right tool.

curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/search \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "send email via gmail"}'

Response (compact):

{
  "results": [{"primary_tool_slugs": ["GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL"], "use_case": "send email", ...}],
  "tool_schemas": {
    "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL": {
      "tool_slug": "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL",
      "toolkit": "gmail",
      "description": "Send an email...",
      "parameters": ["to", "subject", "body", "cc", "bcc"],
      "required": ["to", "subject", "body"]
    }
  },
  "toolkit_connection_statuses": [...]
}

2. Get Tool Schema (full)

Get the complete parameter definitions for a specific tool — types, descriptions, enums, defaults. Use this after search when you need exact parameter formats.

curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/tool_schema \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GOOGLECALENDAR_EVENTS_LIST"}'

Response:

{
  "data": {
    "tool_slug": "GOOGLECALENDAR_EVENTS_LIST",
    "description": "Returns events on the specified calendar.",
    "input_parameters": {
      "properties": {
        "timeMin": {"type": "string", "description": "RFC3339 timestamp..."},
        "timeMax": {"type": "string", "description": "RFC3339 timestamp..."},
        "calendarId": {"type": "string", "default": "primary"}
      },
      "required": ["calendarId"]
    }
  },
  "error": null
}

3. Execute a Tool

Execute a Composio tool. Key name is arguments, not params.

curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL", "arguments": {"to": "x@example.com", "subject": "Hi", "body": "Hello!"}}'

On success:

{"data": {"messages": [...]}, "error": null}

On failure — includes tool_schema so you can self-correct:

{
  "data": null,
  "error": "Missing required parameter: calendarId",
  "tool_schema": {
    "tool_slug": "GOOGLECALENDAR_EVENTS_LIST",
    "description": "...",
    "input_parameters": {"properties": {...}, "required": [...]}
  }
}

4. List User's Connections

curl -s $GATEWAY/internal/connections

5. Initiate New Connection

curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/api/connect \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"toolkit": "gmail"}'

Returns connect_url for the user to complete OAuth.

6. Disconnect

curl -s -X DELETE $GATEWAY/api/connections/{connection_id}

Optimal Workflow (minimize tool calls)

Known tool → Direct execute (1 call)

If you already know the tool slug and parameters from previous use or the Common Tools table below, skip search entirely:

curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GOOGLECALENDAR_EVENTS_LIST", "arguments": {"calendarId": "primary", "timeMin": "2026-04-02T00:00:00+08:00", "timeMax": "2026-04-09T00:00:00+08:00", "singleEvents": true, "timeZone": "Asia/Hong_Kong"}}'

Unknown tool → Search + Schema + Execute (2-3 calls)

1. Search (compact) → pick the right tool slug
2. Get schema (if param details unclear) → know exact argument format
3. Execute → with correct arguments

If execute fails, the error response includes the full schema — so you can retry immediately without an extra schema call.

Wrap in a script for repeat use

For recurring queries, write a one-shot Python script:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
import sys, json, requests
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone

GATEWAY = "http://composio-gateway.flycast"
days = int(sys.argv[1]) if len(sys.argv) > 1 else 7
tz_name = sys.argv[2] if len(sys.argv) > 2 else "UTC"

# ... build timeMin/timeMax ...
resp = requests.post(f"{GATEWAY}/internal/execute", json={
    "tool": "GOOGLECALENDAR_EVENTS_LIST",
    "arguments": {"calendarId": "primary", "timeMin": t_min, "timeMax": t_max,
                   "singleEvents": True, "timeZone": tz_name}
}).json()

# ... format and print ...

Then future calls are just: bash("python3 scripts/calendar_events.py 7 Asia/Hong_Kong") — 1 tool call.

Common Tools Quick Reference (skip search for these)

📧 Gmail

Gmail Usage Examples:

# Send email
curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL", "arguments": {"to": "user@example.com", "subject": "Hello", "body": "Hi there!"}}'

# Fetch last 5 emails
curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GMAIL_FETCH_EMAILS", "arguments": {"max_results": 5}}'

# Search specific emails (using Gmail search syntax)
curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GMAIL_FETCH_EMAILS", "arguments": {"max_results": 10, "q": "from:github.com after:2026/03/01"}}'

Gmail Response Parsing: Email data is in data.data.messages[], each email has id, snippet, payload.headers[] (From/Subject/Date are in headers, lookup by name).

🐦 Twitter

Twitter Usage Examples:

# Post tweet
curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "TWITTER_CREATION_OF_A_POST", "arguments": {"text": "Hello from Composio!"}}'

# Delete tweet
curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "TWITTER_POST_DELETE_BY_POST_ID", "arguments": {"id": "2039756730192601584"}}'

Twitter Response Structure: Post/create returns data.data.data (3-level nesting), contains id, text, edit_history_tweet_ids.

⚠️ Twitter Limitations & Fallback:

• TWITTER_RECENT_SEARCH only covers last 7 days, older tweets won't appear
• TWITTER_FULL_ARCHIVE_SEARCH requires Twitter API Pro access, regular OAuth App can't use it
• When fetching user tweet history, prefer platform native tool twitter_user_tweets, not limited to 7 days

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GOOGLEDOCS_GET_DOCUMENT_PLAINTEXT", "arguments": {"document_id": "1abc...xyz"}}'

📊 Google Sheets

# Read cells
curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GOOGLESHEETS_BATCH_GET", "arguments": {"spreadsheet_id": "1abc...xyz", "ranges": ["Sheet1!A1:D10"]}}'

# Write cells
curl -s -X POST $GATEWAY/internal/execute \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GOOGLESHEETS_UPDATE_VALUES_BATCH", "arguments": {"spreadsheet_id": "1abc...xyz", "valueInputOption": "USER_ENTERED", "data": [{"range": "Sheet1!A1:B2", "values": [["Name", "Score"], ["Alice", 95]]}]}}'

  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tool": "GOOGLESHEETS_SPREADSHEETS_VALUES_APPEND", "arguments": {"spreadsheetId": "1abc...xyz", "range": "Sheet1!A:B", "valueInputOption": "USER_ENTERED", "values": [["Bob", 88], ["Charlie", 92]]}}'

⚠️ Google Sheets Notes:

• valueInputOption: "USER_ENTERED" (parses formulas/numbers) or "RAW" (literal text)
• ranges uses A1 notation: "Sheet1!A1:D10", "Sheet1!A:A" (entire column)
• BATCH_GET returns data.data.valueRanges[].values (2D array)
• spreadsheetId vs spreadsheet_id: some tools use camelCase, some snake_case — check schema if unsure

Important Notes

• Tool slugs are UPPERCASE: GMAIL_SEND_EMAIL
• Toolkit slugs are lowercase: gmail, github
• Arguments key: always use "arguments", never "params" — params silently gets ignored
• Time parameters: use RFC3339 with timezone offset (2026-04-08T00:00:00+08:00), not UTC unless intended
• OAuth tokens are managed by Composio — auto-refreshed on expiry
• Response nesting: Composio execute response is usually data.data, but Twitter is data.data.data (3 levels). Parse by recursively accessing data.
• Native tool fallback: When Composio tools have limitations (e.g., Twitter search only 7 days), prefer platform built-in native tools (e.g., twitter_user_tweets)

Common Issues

Gmail Nested JSON Parsing

Gmail returns complex JSON structure with multiple levels of HTML content. Do not try to parse nested strings with json.loads. Access directly as dict in Python — gateway already returns parsed JSON.
