Agent Node

Execute tasks using a single AI agent with configurable tools and capabilities

Overview

The Agent Node is a versatile component that allows you to run a single AI agent with specific tools and capabilities. This node enables:

• Execution of complex queries with customizable tools
• Integration with other workflows and nodes
• Flexible configuration of model parameters and system prompts
• Detailed conversation tracking and output management

Configuration Parameters

The Agent Node requires configuration of the agent’s behavior, tools, and model settings to effectively process queries.

Node Configuration

• Query:

  Define the task or question for the agent to handle.

• Tools

  Select tools that the agent can use to accomplish its tasks. Tools can be of two types:

  • Workflow Tools: Existing workflows that the agent can execute
  • Node Tools: Individual nodes that the agent can utilize
  Choose tools carefully as they define the capabilities available to the agent. The agent can only perform actions using the tools provided.

Advanced Settings

• System Prompt: Define the agent’s persona and behavior guidelines with a custom system prompt.

• Model: Select the language model to power the agent. Note that the model must support function calling.

• Max Steps: Configure the maximum number of steps (1-50) the agent can take to complete the task.

Expected Inputs and Outputs

• Inputs:

  • The node accepts input data that can be referenced in the query using format strings.

• Outputs:

  • output: The final result produced by the agent
  • conversation: A detailed log of the agent’s thought process and actions taken

Use Case Examples

1. Web Search:

   Configure the node with Google Search tool and Web Content Extraction tool. Prompt the agent to do research anything from company information to finding contact information from name.

2. Workflow Orchastrator:

   Setup an agent that has access to your workflows as tools so that it launches workflow to complete tasks given by the user.

Error Handling and Troubleshooting

• Model Compatibility:

  Ensure the selected model supports function calling. If you receive a compatibility error, switch to a supported model.

• Tool Configuration:

  Verify that all configured workflow and node tools exist and are accessible to the agent.

• Max Steps Limitation:

  If the agent isn’t completing tasks, consider increasing the max_steps parameter (up to 50) or breaking down the task into smaller components.
