Craft Interface is the local interface to the TL1 Agent from where the agent can be managed. It receives input message from user on console and  passes it to TL1 Engine. The TL1 Agent of the Agent Toolkit supports Craft Interface, from where input messages can be sent to the TL1 Agent for processing. The input commands can be typed on the console. Also, the Autonomous Messages sent by the agent will be received by the Craft Interface and displayed on the console.

Craft Channel has been plugged into the TL1 Agent by using Transport Provider Framework.
