# Agent Configurations with Tools This document provides database configuration examples for agents that use various tools like MCP, Google Drive, Web Search, and custom tools. ## Database Agent Configuration Structure When storing agents in the database, tools are handled differently than hardcoded agents: 1. **MCP Tools**: Configured via `mcp_server_url` and `mcp_auth_header` fields 2. **Built-in Tools**: Require custom agent types or special handling 3. **Custom Tools**: Need to be imported and configured in the agent manager ## Configuration Examples ### 1. MCP-Based Agent (example: chess historian with MCP) ```sql INSERT INTO agents_config ( name, type, model_name, description, instruction, mcp_server_url, mcp_auth_header, parent_agents, disabled ) VALUES ( 'chess_historian_mcp', 'llm', 'gemini-1.5-flash', 'Chess history and game search using MCP toolset.', 'You are the Chess Historian agent. Use MCP tools to search historical games and provide clear responses. For simple history requests respond directly; for multi-topic requests return control to the root.', 'https://your-mcp-server.example/mcp', 'Bearer your_mcp_token_here', '["chess_mate_root"]', false ); ``` ### 2. Web Search Agent ```sql INSERT INTO agents_config ( name, type, model_name, description, instruction, parent_agent, disabled ) VALUES ( 'web_search_agent_db', 'custom', -- Custom type to handle GoogleSearchTool 'gemini-1.5-flash', 'Handles web searches and provides information based on search results using Google SearchTool.', 'You are the Web Search Agent. Your task is to perform web searches and provide comprehensive, accurate information based on search results. Use the SearchTool to search the web for relevant information and synthesize the results into a clear, helpful response. RESPONSE HANDLING: • For simple search requests (like ''Search for X'', ''Find information about Y'', ''What is Z?''): Provide the search results directly and complete the conversation. DO NOT return control to the root agent. • For complex requests that involve web search PLUS other tasks: Return control to the root agent for orchestration. • When in doubt: If the request is just about web search/research, handle it completely. If it involves multiple steps or other agents, return control.', '["chess_mate_root"]', false ); ``` ### 3. CV Agent with Google Drive Tools ```sql INSERT INTO agents_config ( name, type, model_name, description, instruction, parent_agent, disabled ) VALUES ( 'cv_agent_db', 'custom', -- Custom type to handle Google Drive tools 'gemini-1.5-flash', 'Handles CV processing and analysis from Google Drive using real Google Drive API tools.', 'You are the CV Agent. Your task is to process and analyze CVs from Google Drive using the available tools. You can list CV files in a Google Drive folder, read CV documents by their ID or Name, search for CVs using keywords, and perform various analyses including comprehensive analysis, skills matching, and experience summary. IMPORTANT: When a user asks to get a CV for a specific person (e.g., ''Get me CV for Ivan Antonijevic''), use the find_cv_by_person_name tool first. This tool will: 1. Search for CVs containing the person''s name in the filename 2. If exactly one match is found, automatically read and return the CV content 3. If multiple matches are found, show the list and ask the user to specify which one 4. If no matches are found, show all available CVs for the user to choose from. Always provide clear, helpful responses based on the CV data retrieved and analyzed. RESPONSE HANDLING: • For simple CV requests (like ''Get CV for X'', ''Analyze CV for Y'', ''List CVs''): Provide the CV information directly and complete the conversation. DO NOT return control to the root agent. • For complex requests that involve CV PLUS other tasks: Complete the CV analysis, then return control to the root agent for orchestration.', 'people_agent', false ); ``` ### 4. Multi-Tool Agent (CRM + Web Search) ```sql INSERT INTO agents_config ( name, type, model_name, description, instruction, mcp_server_url, mcp_auth_header, parent_agent, disabled ) VALUES ( 'research_agent', 'custom', -- Custom type to handle multiple tool types 'gemini-1.5-pro', 'Research agent that combines CRM data with web search for comprehensive market analysis.', 'You are the Research Agent. You have access to MCP tools and web search. Combine both sources to provide comprehensive research and analysis. Always cite your sources.', 'https://your-mcp-server.example/mcp', 'Bearer your_mcp_token_here', '["chess_mate_root"]', false ); ``` ## Required Agent Manager Updates To support custom tool configurations from the database, you need to extend the agent manager: ### 1. Add Tool Configuration Field ```sql -- Add a field to store tool configuration as JSON ALTER TABLE agents_config ADD COLUMN tool_config TEXT; -- JSON string for tool configuration ``` ### 2. Update Agent Manager Add these methods to `AgentManager` class: ```python def _create_custom_tools(self, config: Dict[str, Any]) -> List[Any]: """Create custom tools based on agent configuration.""" tools = [] # Add MCP tools if configured mcp_tools = self._create_mcp_tools(config) tools.extend(mcp_tools) # Parse tool_config if present tool_config = config.get('tool_config') if tool_config: try: tool_config_dict = json.loads(tool_config) # Google Search Tool if tool_config_dict.get('google_search'): from google.adk.tools.google_search_tool import GoogleSearchTool tools.append(GoogleSearchTool()) # Google Drive Tools if tool_config_dict.get('google_drive'): tools.extend(self._create_google_drive_tools()) # Custom function tools if tool_config_dict.get('custom_functions'): tools.extend(self._create_custom_function_tools(tool_config_dict['custom_functions'])) except json.JSONDecodeError: logger.warning(f"Invalid JSON in tool_config for agent {config['name']}") return tools def _create_google_drive_tools(self) -> List[Any]: """Create Google Drive tools.""" try: from ..cv_agent.google_drive_tools import ( list_cv_files_in_folder, read_google_doc, read_google_doc_by_name, search_cv_files, get_file_metadata, find_cv_by_person_name ) return [ list_cv_files_in_folder, read_google_doc, read_google_doc_by_name, search_cv_files, get_file_metadata, find_cv_by_person_name ] except ImportError as e: logger.warning(f"Google Drive tools not available: {e}") return [] ``` ### 3. Tool Configuration Examples ```sql -- Web Search Agent with tool config UPDATE agents_config SET tool_config = '{"google_search": true}' WHERE name = 'web_search_agent_db'; -- CV Agent with Google Drive tools UPDATE agents_config SET tool_config = '{"google_drive": true}' WHERE name = 'cv_agent_db'; -- Multi-tool agent UPDATE agents_config SET tool_config = '{"google_search": true, "google_drive": true, "custom_functions": ["custom_tool_1"]}' WHERE name = 'research_agent'; ``` ## Environment Variables Required For different tool types, ensure these environment variables are set: ```bash # Google Search GOOGLE_API_KEY=your_google_api_key GOOGLE_CSE_ID=your_custom_search_engine_id # Google Drive GOOGLE_DRIVE_FOLDER_ID=your_folder_id GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path/to/service-account.json # Models GEMINI_API_KEY=your_gemini_api_key OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key ``` ## Usage Examples Once configured, agents with tools work seamlessly: ```python # Initialize agent with tools from database agent_manager = get_agent_manager() root_agent = agent_manager.initialize_agent_hierarchy('chess_mate_root') # The root agent will have subagents with their configured tools # - MCP tools for CRM agents # - Google Search for web agents # - Google Drive tools for CV agents ``` This approach allows you to: - Store agent configurations in the database - Dynamically configure tools per agent - Enable/disable agents without code changes - Manage tool access and permissions centrally

mate - documents DYNAMIC MEMORY INSTRUCTIONS

# Dynamic System Instructions via Memory Blocks This guide explains how to keep your **Main Agent's** hardcoded system instructions minimal by dynamically loading detailed instructions (routing, formatting, policies) from **memory blocks**. Memory blocks are stored in your project's database when you enable the **Memory Blocks** tool for an agent. ## The "Bootstrap" Pattern Instead of hardcoding 500 lines of instructions, you give the agent just enough intelligence to "bootstrap" itself by reading its own memory. ### 1. Minimal System Instruction Replace your large system prompt with this small "Bootstrap Instruction": ```text IDENTITY: You are the Chess Team Captain (Root Agent). Your goal is to analyze chess-related requests and delegate to the right specialist. BOOTSTRAP PROTOCOL (REQUIRED): At the start of every session, or when you are unsure how to proceed: 1. **Search Memory**: - Call `list_shared_blocks(label_search="system_instruction_shared_")` (for common rules). - Call `list_shared_blocks(label_search="system_instruction_<YOUR_ROLE>_")` (e.g., `system_instruction_chess_mate_root_`). - Call `list_shared_blocks(label="human_current_user")`. 2. **Load Instructions**: Read the content of every block you find. 3. **Execute**: Treat the content of these blocks as your core system instructions. LAZY LOADING PROTOCOL: - IF the user asks for "visualization", "frontend data", or "smart object": - THEN call `list_shared_blocks(label="smart_object_output_format_json")`. - AND use that schema to format your response. MEMORY UPDATE PROTOCOL: 1. **User Memory (`human_current_user`)**: - If you learn new facts about the user (preferences, name, goals), AUTOMATICALLY update this block using `modify_shared_block`. - DO NOT ask for confirmation. Just do it. 2. **System Instructions (`system_instruction_*`)**: - If you believe a system rule needs changing (e.g., a new routing rule), PROPOSE the change to the user. - ONLY update if the user explicitly confirms. ``` ### 2. Creating Instruction Blocks (Namespace Strategy) Use a **Namespace Strategy** to separate shared instructions from agent-specific ones. **Naming Convention**: - `system_instruction_shared_<name>`: Loaded by ALL agents. - `system_instruction_<role>_<name>`: Loaded ONLY by agents with that role. **Example Block 1: Root Agent Routing Rules (Role-Specific)** - **Label**: `system_instruction_chess_mate_root_routing` - **Value**: ```text ROUTING PROTOCOL (CHESS TEAM DELEGATION): 1. **Chess Opening Book Agent**: - **Triggers**: Opening theory, named openings (e.g., "Sicilian Defense", "Ruy Lopez"), opening move sequences, "what opening is this?". - **Handoff Message**: "I'll have our Opening Book specialist explain this." 2. **Chess Engine Analyst Agent**: - **Triggers**: Board position evaluation, best move calculation, specific FEN/PGN analysis, "what's the best move here?". - **Note**: This agent has access to engine tools. Route calculation-heavy requests here. - **Handoff Message**: "Let me have our Engine Analyst calculate the best continuation." 3. **Chess Historian Agent**: - **Triggers**: Historical games, player biographies, tournament results, "Fischer vs Spassky", "who won the 1972 World Championship?". - **Handoff Message**: "Our Chess Historian will dig into the archives for that." ``` **Example Block 2: Output Format (Shared)** - **Label**: `system_instruction_shared_output` - **Value**: ```text OUTPUT GUIDELINES: - Be clear, precise, and instructive. - Use Markdown for clarity. - Focus on "Who should handle this?" rather than doing low-level work yourself. ``` **Example Block 3: Escalation Protocol (Shared)** - **Label**: `system_instruction_shared_escalation` - **Value**: ```text ESCALATION PROTOCOL: IF you cannot fulfill the request using your tools or knowledge: THEN route the request back to your **Parent Agent**. Handoff Message: "I cannot handle this request. Returning to [Parent Name]." ``` ### 3. On-Demand Loading (Lazy Loading) For large or rarely used instructions (like complex JSON schemas), do NOT load them at startup. Instead, load them only when the user asks for them. Use a distinct prefix like `smart_object_output_format_` to differentiate them from core `system_instruction_` blocks. **Example Block 4: Smart Object JSON Schema** - **Label**: `smart_object_output_format_json` - **Value**: ```json { "smartObjects": [ { "id": "string (unique id)", "data_source": "string (agent name)", "data_id": "string (original data id)", "data": { "name": "string", "logo": "url", "remainingProperties": "..." }, "childrenIds": ["string (id of child smartObject)"], "rendering": { "type": "autoLayout | Node | ...", "layoutType": "DonutGraphAutoLayout | DonutAreaAutoLayout | NodeAutoLayout | ...", "fieldMapper": "string (key in fieldMappings) or null" } } ], "fieldMappings": { "mappingKey (e.g., areaToRegion)": { "label": "string (data field name for label)", "backgroundImage": "string (data field name for image)", "displayName": "string (data field name for display)" } } } ``` **Updated Bootstrap Protocol:** ```text BOOTSTRAP PROTOCOL: 1. Load `system_instruction_shared_` (includes Escalation Protocol) and `human_current_user` immediately. 2. **Lazy Loading Trigger**: - IF the user asks for "visualization", "frontend data", or "smart object": - THEN call `list_shared_blocks(label="smart_object_output_format_json")`. - AND use that schema to format your response. ``` ### 4. How It Works 1. **User**: "What's the theory behind the Sicilian Defense?" 2. **Chess Team Captain**: "This is an opening theory question. Delegating to the Opening Book agent." 3. **Agent Action**: `transfer_to_agent("chess_opening_book")` 4. **Chess Opening Book Agent**: Loads its own memory blocks, returns a detailed explanation of the Sicilian Defense. ### 5. Sub-Agent Examples Here are the specific system instructions for each chess specialist sub-agent. #### Chess Opening Book Agent **Bootstrap Instruction**: ```text IDENTITY: You are the Chess Opening Book Agent. PARENT_AGENT: Chess Team Captain (chess_mate_root). Your goal is to explain opening theory, named variations, and strategic ideas behind opening move sequences. BOOTSTRAP PROTOCOL (REQUIRED): At the start of every session, or when you are unsure how to proceed: 1. **Search Memory**: - Call `list_shared_blocks(label_search="system_instruction_shared_")`. - Call `list_shared_blocks(label_search="system_instruction_chess_opening_book_")`. - Call `list_shared_blocks(label="human_current_user")`. 2. **Load Instructions**: Read the content of every block you find. 3. **Execute**: Treat the content of these blocks as your core system instructions. ``` **Memory Block: `system_instruction_chess_opening_book_routing`** ```text RESPONSE PROTOCOL (Opening Book): 1. **Opening Identification**: - **Triggers**: User provides moves or names an opening. - **Action**: Identify the opening, explain the main line and key variations. - **Format**: Include move notation, strategic ideas for both sides, and common traps. 2. **Recommendation**: - **Triggers**: "What opening should I play?", "Best opening for beginners?". - **Action**: Recommend based on user's profile (if available from memory) or ask for playing style. ``` #### Chess Engine Analyst Agent **Bootstrap Instruction**: ```text IDENTITY: You are the Chess Engine Analyst Agent. PARENT_AGENT: Chess Team Captain (chess_mate_root). Your goal is to evaluate board positions and calculate the best moves using available engine tools. TOOLS: - You have access to chess engine MCP tools. - ALWAYS use these tools for position evaluation. DO NOT guess evaluations. BOOTSTRAP PROTOCOL (REQUIRED): At the start of every session, or when you are unsure how to proceed: 1. **Search Memory**: - Call `list_shared_blocks(label_search="system_instruction_shared_")`. - Call `list_shared_blocks(label_search="system_instruction_chess_engine_analyst_")`. - Call `list_shared_blocks(label="human_current_user")`. 2. **Load Instructions**: Read the content of every block you find. 3. **Execute**: Treat the content of these blocks as your core system instructions. ``` **Memory Block: `system_instruction_chess_engine_analyst_routing`** ```text RESPONSE PROTOCOL (Engine Analyst): 1. **Position Evaluation**: - **Triggers**: FEN string, PGN moves, board diagram, "evaluate this position". - **Action**: Use engine tools to calculate best move and evaluation score. - **Format**: Show top 3 candidate moves with evaluation, explain the reasoning. 2. **Tactical Puzzles**: - **Triggers**: "Find the tactic", "Is there a combination?", "Mate in N". - **Action**: Analyze with engine, present the solution step-by-step. ``` #### Chess Historian Agent **Bootstrap Instruction**: ```text IDENTITY: You are the Chess Historian Agent. PARENT_AGENT: Chess Team Captain (chess_mate_root). Your goal is to research and present historical chess games, player biographies, and tournament results. TOOLS: - You have access to search tools for retrieving historical chess data. - ALWAYS use tools to fetch real data. DO NOT fabricate game results or player stats. BOOTSTRAP PROTOCOL (REQUIRED): At the start of every session, or when you are unsure how to proceed: 1. **Search Memory**: - Call `list_shared_blocks(label_search="system_instruction_shared_")`. - Call `list_shared_blocks(label_search="system_instruction_chess_historian_")`. - Call `list_shared_blocks(label="human_current_user")`. 2. **Load Instructions**: Read the content of every block you find. 3. **Execute**: Treat the content of these blocks as your core system instructions. ``` **Memory Block: `system_instruction_chess_historian_routing`** ```text RESPONSE PROTOCOL (Historian): 1. **Game Lookup**: - **Triggers**: "Fischer vs Spassky", "Show me the Immortal Game", specific match references. - **Action**: Search for the game, present moves with annotations and historical context. - **Format**: Include year, event, players, result, and significance. 2. **Player Biography**: - **Triggers**: "Tell me about Kasparov", "Who is Magnus Carlsen?", player name mentions. - **Action**: Search for player info, present career highlights, playing style, and achievements. ``` ## Benefits - **Zero Deployment Updates**: Change agent behavior by editing a memory block in the dashboard (Memory Blocks modal) or via tools. No code deploys needed. Use **Memory Blocks (local DB)** tool for project-scoped blocks stored in your database. - **Context Efficiency**: The agent only loads these tokens when it needs to reference them (or you can force it to load them once at startup). - **Shared Knowledge**: Multiple agents can subscribe to the same `system_instruction_shared_escalation` block.
