Anatomy

  • Prompts
    • System Prompt — Non‑negotiable instructions.
    • Messages List (toggle) — Pass conversation history as input/output.
    • User Prompt — Optional pre‑set prompt for fixed‑purpose Agents.
  • Model configuration — Provider/model, temperature, top‑p, max tokens.
  • Toolbox — The set of callable tools made available to the Agent.

Good patterns

  • Keep System Prompts specific and outcome‑oriented.
  • Start with few high‑leverage tools; expand gradually.
  • Use Messages List when memory/context matters.

Observability

  • Executions emit logs, traces, metrics for inspection.
  • Use Payloads to reproduce and compare runs after prompt changes.
tip: Tool hygiene — Name tools by verb + object (fetch_user, summarize_text). Small, predictable tools make plans more reliable.
