invoke_agent#

AgentsforBedrockRuntime.Client.invoke_agent(**kwargs)#

Sends a prompt for the agent to process and respond to.

Note

The CLI doesn’t support InvokeAgent.

  • To continue the same conversation with an agent, use the same sessionId value in the request.

  • To activate trace enablement, turn enableTrace to true. Trace enablement helps you follow the agent’s reasoning process that led it to the information it processed, the actions it took, and the final result it yielded. For more information, see Trace enablement.

  • End a conversation by setting endSession to true.

  • Include attributes for the session or prompt in the sessionState object.

The response is returned in the bytes field of the chunk object.

  • The attribution object contains citations for parts of the response.

  • If you set enableTrace to true in the request, you can trace the agent’s steps and reasoning process that led it to the response.

  • Errors are also surfaced in the response.

Request Syntax

response = client.invoke_agent(
    agentAliasId='string',
    agentId='string',
    enableTrace=True|False,
    endSession=True|False,
    inputText='string',
    sessionId='string',
    sessionState={
        'promptSessionAttributes': {
            'string': 'string'
        },
        'sessionAttributes': {
            'string': 'string'
        }
    }
)
Parameters:
  • agentAliasId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The alias of the agent to use.

  • agentId (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The unique identifier of the agent to use.

  • enableTrace (boolean) – Specifies whether to turn on the trace or not to track the agent’s reasoning process. For more information, see Trace enablement.

  • endSession (boolean) – Specifies whether to end the session with the agent or not.

  • inputText (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The prompt text to send the agent.

  • sessionState (dict) –

    Contains parameters that specify various attributes of the session.

    • promptSessionAttributes (dict) –

      Contains attributes that persist across a prompt and the values of those attributes. These attributes replace the $prompt_session_attributes$ placeholder variable in the orchestration prompt template. For more information, see Prompt template placeholder variables.

      • (string) –

        • (string) –
