3.7. Standard Output

Overview

The Standard Output lets your automation script write arbitrary JSON data to the armada_output table, tagged with the current run UUID. Use it to persist results, extracted data, or any structured output that you want to retrieve later.

ctx_script.py
  │
  │  send({"email": "user@example.com", "status": "ok"})

StandardOutput ──DatabaseConnector──► SQL Server (armada_output)

Each row stores the run UUID, the JSON-serialized data, and a UTC timestamp.

Initialization

Create a StandardOutput instance with the current run ID — typically in ctx_agent_context.py.

The class internally creates its own DatabaseConnector that can be use for flexible use (inputting / outputting)

Usage in ctx_script.py

Call send() with a dictionary. The dictionary is JSON-serialized and inserted into armada_output:

async def ctx_script(job_ctx, agent_ctx):
    # ... automation logic ...

    job_ctx.standard_output.send({
        "email": "user@example.com",
        "status": "registered",
        "confirmation_id": "ABC-123"
    })

You can call send() multiple times — each call inserts a new row.
