Configuring Agents
Fine-tune how your agents behave, respond, and interact with users through advanced configuration options.Model settings
Model selection
Each agent can use a different AI model. Consider:- Speed vs. quality — Faster models are better for simple Q&A; more capable models handle complex reasoning
- Context window — Larger context windows allow longer conversations and more tool outputs
- Cost — More capable models typically cost more per request
Temperature
Not all deployments expose this setting, but when available, temperature controls response randomness:- Lower values (0.0–0.3) — More deterministic, factual responses
- Higher values (0.7–1.0) — More creative, varied responses
System prompt best practices
The system prompt is the single most impactful configuration. Guidelines:- Be specific — “You are an HR assistant that answers questions about the Employee Handbook” is better than “You are helpful”
- Define boundaries — Tell the agent what it should NOT do: “Do not answer questions about compensation or salary”
- Set the tone — “Respond in a professional but approachable tone. Use bullet points for lists.”
- Handle edge cases — “If you cannot find the answer in the knowledge base, say: I don’t have that information. Please contact HR directly.”
Knowledge base connections
Agents can search one or more knowledge bases. When multiple KBs are connected:- The agent searches across all connected KBs simultaneously
- Results are ranked by relevance regardless of which KB they came from
- Citations indicate which source document (and KB) each result came from
Tool configuration
Enable or disable individual tools per agent. Common configurations:| Agent type | Recommended tools |
|---|---|
| Knowledge Q&A | Knowledge search |
| Research assistant | Knowledge search + Web search |
| Developer assistant | Knowledge search + Code execution |
| Business operations | Knowledge search + External integrations (Jira, Outlook, etc.) |
