create-agent

Description

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.

}

--idle-session-ttl-in-seconds (integer)

JSON Syntax:

{
  "enabledMemoryTypes": ["SESSION_SUMMARY", ...],

}

--prompt-override-configuration (structure)

Contains configurations to override prompts in different parts of an agent sequence. For more information, see Advanced prompts .

overrideLambda -> (string)

The ARN of the Lambda function to use when parsing the raw foundation model output in parts of the agent sequence. If you specify this field, at least one of the promptConfigurations must contain a parserMode value that is set to OVERRIDDEN . For more information, see Parser Lambda function in Amazon Bedrock Agents .

promptConfigurations -> (list)

Contains configurations to override a prompt template in one part of an agent sequence. For more information, see Advanced prompts .

(structure)

Contains configurations to override a prompt template in one part of an agent sequence. For more information, see Advanced prompts .

maximumLength -> (integer)

The maximum number of tokens to allow in the generated response.

stopSequences -> (list)

A list of stop sequences. A stop sequence is a sequence of characters that causes the model to stop generating the response.

(string)

temperature -> (float)

The likelihood of the model selecting higher-probability options while generating a response. A lower value makes the model more likely to choose higher-probability options, while a higher value makes the model more likely to choose lower-probability options.

topK -> (integer)

While generating a response, the model determines the probability of the following token at each point of generation. The value that you set for topK is the number of most-likely candidates from which the model chooses the next token in the sequence. For example, if you set topK to 50, the model selects the next token from among the top 50 most likely choices.

topP -> (float)

While generating a response, the model determines the probability of the following token at each point of generation. The value that you set for Top P determines the number of most-likely candidates from which the model chooses the next token in the sequence. For example, if you set topP to 80, the model only selects the next token from the top 80% of the probability distribution of next tokens.

parserMode -> (string)

Specifies whether to override the default parser Lambda function when parsing the raw foundation model output in the part of the agent sequence defined by the promptType . If you set the field as OVERRIDEN , the overrideLambda field in the PromptOverrideConfiguration must be specified with the ARN of a Lambda function.

  • ORCHESTRATION – ENABLED
  • KNOWLEDGE_BASE_RESPONSE_GENERATION – ENABLED
  • POST_PROCESSING – DISABLED

promptType -> (string)

The step in the agent sequence that this prompt configuration applies to.

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.
