AI Agents
AI Agents can choose which connected tools to use and in what order. They are useful when the next step depends on the meaning of a request instead of a fixed sequence of rules.
When to use an AI Agent
Use an AI Agent when:
- the input is free text or otherwise unstructured;
- several tools may be needed;
- the order of actions can change from one request to another;
- a person would normally decide what to do next.
Use a regular Scenario when the process is predictable. A fixed flow is usually easier to test, explain, and control.
Keep an Agent focused
- give the Agent a clear responsibility;
- connect only the tools it needs;
- describe the expected result and limits;
- protect actions that send messages, change data, or create costs;
- test normal, incomplete, and unexpected requests.
