| `agent` | `string` | no |  |  | The name of the agent making the call, when several agents share one connection: each named agent is its own actor and plays its own game. Leave it out when there is one agent. |
| `name` | `string` | no |  |  | jump or behaviors/jump |
| `path` | `string` | no |  |  | Instead of name: a ui/ file behaviour.write takes |
