Streaming chat example

var client = inferenceClientFactory.Create("ollama");
await foreach (var token in client.StreamChatAsync(messages))
{
    Console.Write(token);
}

Assistant profiles

InControl ships three built-in assistant profiles. Profiles are immutable records that control tone, verbosity, explanation level, and risk tolerance.

Profile	Tone	Verbosity	Explanation	Risk Tolerance
Default	Professional	Concise	On request	Moderate
Minimal	Professional	Brief	Minimal	Low
Detailed	Professional	Detailed	Proactive	High

Plugin SDK

Plugins extend InControl through a manifest-validated, sandboxed system. To create a plugin:

1. Define a PluginManifest with your plugin’s ID, version, permissions, and capabilities.
2. Extend PluginBase and override OnExecuteAsync to handle actions.
3. Package the plugin with its manifest.

Plugins declare permissions for file access, memory, network, UI, conversation context, and settings. The manifest validator enforces consistency between declared risk levels and requested permissions.

Risk levels determine what a plugin can do:

Level	Name	Allowed operations
1	ReadOnly	Read-only operations, no side effects
2	LocalMutation	Can modify local data (files, memory)
3	Network	Can access network through ConnectivityManager
4	SystemAdjacent	Reserved, not available

Error codes

InControl uses structured error codes organized by category:

Range	Category	Examples
0-99	General	Unknown, InvalidArgument, Timeout, Cancelled
100-199	Connection	ConnectionFailed, ConnectionTimeout, HostNotFound
200-299	Inference	ModelNotFound, ContextExceeded, StreamInterrupted
300-399	Storage	FileNotFound, PermissionDenied, CorruptedData
400-499	Configuration	ConfigurationInvalid, ConfigurationMissing
500-599	Validation	ValidationFailed, RequiredFieldMissing
600-699	Assistant Tools	ToolExecutionFailed, ToolPermissionDenied

Every error includes a code, message, and severity (Low, Medium, High, Critical) with an optional hint for resolution.

Health checks

Three built-in health checks report system readiness:

Check	Category	What it verifies
AppHealthCheck	Application	Application state and configuration
InferenceHealthCheck	Inference	Backend connection, model availability
StorageHealthCheck	Storage	File system access, disk space

Security and data scope

Aspect	Detail
Data accessed	Local Ollama API (localhost), chat history in local storage, model configuration files
Data NOT accessed	No cloud sync, no telemetry, no analytics
Permissions	Localhost network (Ollama API), file system for chat history. MSIX sandboxed
Support bundles	Never include conversation content or secrets. Sanitized configs only.
