Installation
Initialization
register_worker
Register the worker with a iii instance, returns a connected worker client. The WebSocket connection is established automatically in a dedicated background thread with its own tokio runtime. CallIIIClient::shutdown before the end of main to cleanly stop the
connection and join the background thread. In Rust the process exits
when main returns, terminating all threads, so shutdown() must be
called while main is still running.

- Example
Methods
register_trigger
Bind a trigger configuration to a registered function. Signature- Parameters
- Example
Trigger registration input with trigger_type, function_id, and config.
register_function
Register a function with the engine. Argument order matches the Node and Python SDKs:(id, registration).
Signature
- Parameters
- Example
trigger
Invoke a remote function. The routing behavior depends on theaction field of the request:
- No action: synchronous, waits for the function to return.
TriggerAction::Enqueue: async via named queue.TriggerAction::Void: fire-and-forget.
- Parameters
- Example
register_trigger_type
Register a custom trigger type with the engine. Returns aTriggerTypeRef handle that can register triggers and
functions with compile-time validated types.
Signature
- Parameters
- Example
unregister_trigger_type
Unregister a previously registered trigger type. Signature- Parameters
- Example
get_connection_state
Get the current connection state. SignatureExample
shutdown
Shutdown the III client and wait for the connection thread to finish. This stops the connection loop, sends a shutdown signal, and joins the background connection thread. OpenTelemetry is flushed inside the connection thread before it exits. SignatureExample
shutdown_async
Shutdown the III client. This stops the connection loop and sends a shutdown signal, but it does not joinconnection_thread.
This method returns without waiting for run_connection() to finish,
making it safe to call from an async context without stalling the
executor; shutdown blocks and joins the thread.
The OpenTelemetry flush (telemetry::shutdown_otel()) still runs inside the connection thread
after run_connection() returns, so it may not complete unless
shutdown is used to join the thread.

EnqueueResult
Result returned when a function is invoked withTriggerAction.Enqueue.
InitOptions
Configuration options passed toregister_worker.
RegisterFunction
Function registration builder. The function ID is supplied separately at registration time viaIIIClient::register_function, RegisterFunction only carries the handler
and optional metadata.
Constructors:
RegisterFunction::new: sync function. Accepts both typed handlers (schemas auto-extracted viaschemars) andFn(Value, Option<Value>) -> Result<Value, Error>closures. The second argument is the per-invocation metadata sidecar and isNonewhen absent.RegisterFunction::new_async: async equivalent ofnew.RegisterFunction::http: function invoked over HTTP (Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, etc.).
self):
descriptionmetadatarequest_format: overrides any auto-extracted schema.response_format: overrides any auto-extracted schema.
RegisterTriggerType
Builder for registering a custom trigger type with optional format schemas. Type parameters:Ctracks the trigger registration type (set via.trigger_request_format::<T>())Rtracks the call request type (set via.call_request_format::<T>())
Value (untyped) and change when the respective builder
method is called. This allows IIIClient::register_trigger_type to return a
TriggerTypeRef<C, R> with compile-time safety for both config and
function input types.
TelemetryOptions
Worker metadata reported to the engine (language, framework, project).iii_sdk::builtin_triggers

IIITrigger
Enum of all built-in trigger types with typed configuration. Use.for_function() to create a RegisterTriggerInput:
Trigger
Handle returned byIIIClient::register_trigger.
Call unregister to remove the trigger from the engine.

Configuration passed to aTriggerHandler when a trigger instance is
registered or unregistered.
TriggerHandler

RemoteFunctionData
RemoteFunctionHandler
A dispatchable function handler. Receives the invocation payload. Handlers that also want the optional per-invocationmetadata sidecar use
RemoteFunctionHandlerWithMetadata; this single-argument shape is kept
for backward compatibility.
RemoteTriggerTypeData
StreamRequest
Incoming streaming request received by a function registered with a stream trigger. Alias ofiii_helpers::http::HttpRequest.
StreamResponse
Streaming response type, mirroring the Node and PythonStreamResponse.
Alias of iii_helpers::http::HttpResponse; added for cross-language parity.
