cancellation_token

The cancellation_token attribute of the autogen_core._message_context.MessageContext class is likely a property that holds an instance of the CancellationToken class.

A CancellationToken is typically used for signaling that an operation should be canceled. It is a common pattern in asynchronous programming to help ensure that resources can be released properly and operations can be terminated in a controlled manner.

Given the information, here is a possible implementation outline of how this might be structured:

# Assume CancellationToken is already defined elsewhere in your codebase
class CancellationToken:
    def __init__(self):
        self._is_canceled = False

    def cancel(self):
        self._is_canceled = True

    def is_canceled(self):
        return self._is_canceled

class MessageContext:
    def __init__(self, cancellation_token=None):
        self._cancellation_token = cancellation_token or CancellationToken()

    @property
    def cancellation_token(self):
        return self._cancellation_token

    @cancellation_token.setter
    def cancellation_token(self, token):
        if not isinstance(token, CancellationToken):
            raise ValueError("cancellation_token must be an instance of CancellationToken")
        self._cancellation_token = token

In this structure:

• MessageContext class contains a cancellation_token attribute that is an instance of the CancellationToken class.
• The cancellation_token property in MessageContext provides controlled access to this attribute.
• Through a setter, it ensures that only instances of CancellationToken are assigned to the cancellation_token.

This pattern provides a clear and concise way of managing cancellation tokens within the context of message operations or any other tasks you might be handling in your system.
