Use an Agent node for one focused conversational exchange with its own prompt, tools, documents, and optional extraction.

​
Prerequisites

  • A workflow with an entry path.
  • One narrow conversational responsibility for the node.

​
Configure an exchange

  1. Add an Agent node after the entry or previous agent step.
  2. Give the node a descriptive name and write the system prompt.
  3. Decide whether the caller may interrupt the agent mid-utterance.
  4. Attach only the tools and documents this exchange needs.
  5. Enable extraction when the next transition depends on a structured value.

​
Constraints and failure states

An Agent node requires an incoming edge. Keep prompts focused so transition conditions remain clear. Extraction requires instructions and variables; a value that was not stated or cannot be inferred should be treated as unavailable.

​
Protect your data

Document and tool access should follow least privilege. Avoid placing credentials or private customer records in the prompt; use scoped references instead.
