Run context

RunContextWrapper dataclass

Bases: Generic[TContext]

This wraps the context object that you passed to Runner.run(). It also contains information about the usage of the agent run so far.

NOTE: Contexts are not passed to the LLM. They're a way to pass dependencies and data to code you implement, like tool functions, callbacks, hooks, etc.
