Best Practices

Begin with one agent before building multi-agent systems. Get comfortable with instructions and tools first.
Agent instructions should be specific and action-oriented. Vague instructions lead to inconsistent behavior.
Add one tool at a time and verify each works before combining multiple tools in one agent.
Validate your agent with simple tasks before giving it complex, multi-step workflows.
