## ChatAgent

```python
class ChatAgent(BaseAgent):
```

Class for managing conversations of CAMEL Chat Agents.

**Parameters:**

- **system_message** (Union[BaseMessage, str], optional): The system message for the chat agent. (default: :obj:`None`) model (Union[BaseModelBackend, Tuple[str, str], str, ModelType, Tuple[ModelPlatformType, ModelType], List[BaseModelBackend], List[str], List[ModelType], List[Tuple[str, str]], List[Tuple[ModelPlatformType, ModelType]]], optional): The model backend(s) to use. Can be a single instance, a specification (string, enum, tuple), or a list of instances or specifications to be managed by `ModelManager`. If a list of specifications (not `BaseModelBackend` instances) is provided, they will be instantiated using `ModelFactory`. (default: :obj:`ModelPlatformType.DEFAULT` with `ModelType.DEFAULT`)
- **memory** (AgentMemory, optional): The agent memory for managing chat messages. If `None`, a :obj:`ChatHistoryMemory` will be used. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **message_window_size** (int, optional): The maximum number of previous messages to include in the context window. If `None`, no windowing is performed. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **summarize_threshold** (int, optional): The percentage of the context window that triggers summarization. If `None`, will trigger summarization when the context window is full. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **token_limit** (int, optional): The maximum number of tokens allowed for the context window. If `None`, uses the model's default token limit. This can be used to restrict the context size below the model's maximum capacity. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **output_language** (str, optional): The language to be output by the agent. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **tools** (Optional[List[Union[FunctionTool, Callable]]], optional): List of available :obj:`FunctionTool` or :obj:`Callable`. (default: :obj:`None`) toolkits_to_register_agent (Optional[List[RegisteredAgentToolkit]], optional): List of toolkit instances that inherit from :obj:`RegisteredAgentToolkit`. The agent will register itself with these toolkits, allowing them to access the agent instance. Note: This does NOT add the toolkit's tools to the agent. To use tools from these toolkits, pass them explicitly via the `tools` parameter. (default: :obj:`None`) external_tools (Optional[List[Union[FunctionTool, Callable, Dict[str, Any]]]], optional): List of external tools (:obj:`FunctionTool` or :obj:`Callable` or :obj:`Dict[str, Any]`) bind to one chat agent. When these tools are called, the agent will directly return the request instead of processing it. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **response_terminators** (List[ResponseTerminator], optional): List of :obj:`ResponseTerminator` to check if task is complete. When set, the agent will keep prompting the model until a terminator signals completion. Note: You must define the termination signal (e.g., a keyword) in your system prompt so the model knows what to output. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **scheduling_strategy** (str): name of function that defines how to select the next model in ModelManager. (default: :str:`round_robin`)
- **max_iteration** (Optional[int], optional): Maximum number of model calling iterations allowed per step. If `None` (default), there's no explicit limit. If `1`, it performs a single model call. If `N > 1`, it allows up to N model calls. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **agent_id** (str, optional): The ID of the agent. If not provided, a random UUID will be generated. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **stop_event** (Optional[threading.Event], optional): Event to signal termination of the agent's operation. When set, the agent will terminate its execution. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **tool_execution_timeout** (Optional[float], optional): Timeout for individual tool execution. If None, wait indefinitely.
- **mask_tool_output** (Optional[bool]): Whether to return a sanitized placeholder instead of the raw tool output. (default: :obj:`False`)
- **pause_event** (Optional[Union[threading.Event, asyncio.Event]]): Event to signal pause of the agent's operation. When clear, the agent will pause its execution. Use threading.Event for sync operations or asyncio.Event for async operations. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **prune_tool_calls_from_memory** (bool): Whether to clean tool call messages from memory after response generation to save token usage. When enabled, removes FUNCTION/TOOL role messages and ASSISTANT messages with tool_calls after each step. (default: :obj:`False`)
- **enable_snapshot_clean** (bool, optional): Whether to clean snapshot markers and references from historical tool outputs in memory. This removes verbose DOM markers (like [ref=...]) from older tool results while keeping the latest output intact for immediate use. (default: :obj:`False`)
- **retry_attempts** (int, optional): Maximum number of retry attempts for rate limit errors. (default: :obj:`3`)
- **retry_delay** (float, optional): Initial delay in seconds between retries. Uses exponential backoff. (default: :obj:`1.0`)
- **step_timeout** (Optional[float], optional): Timeout in seconds for the entire step operation. If None, no timeout is applied. (default: :obj:`None`)
- **stream_accumulate** (Optional[bool], optional): When True, partial streaming updates return accumulated content. When False, partial updates return only the incremental delta (recommended). If None, defaults to False with a deprecation warning for users who previously relied on the old default (True). (default: :obj:`None`, which behaves as :obj:`False`)
- **summary_window_ratio** (float, optional): Maximum fraction of the total context window that can be occupied by summary information. Used to limit how much of the model's context is reserved for summarization results. (default: :obj:`0.6`)
