createAgent

Creates an agent that orchestrates interactions between foundation models, data sources, software applications, user conversations, and APIs to carry out tasks to help customers.

  • Specify the following fields for security purposes.

    • agentResourceRoleArn – The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the role with permissions to invoke API operations on an agent.

    • (Optional) customerEncryptionKeyArn – The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a KMS key to encrypt the creation of the agent.

    • (Optional) idleSessionTTLinSeconds – Specify the number of seconds for which the agent should maintain session information. After this time expires, the subsequent InvokeAgent request begins a new session.

  • To enable your agent to retain conversational context across multiple sessions, include a memoryConfiguration object. For more information, see Configure memory.

  • To override the default prompt behavior for agent orchestration and to use advanced prompts, include a promptOverrideConfiguration object. For more information, see Advanced prompts.

  • If your agent fails to be created, the response returns a list of failureReasons alongside a list of recommendedActions for you to troubleshoot.

  • The agent instructions will not be honored if your agent has only one knowledge base, uses default prompts, has no action group, and user input is disabled.
