System Prompt
The system prompt defines your agent’s behavior. Write clear instructions:
You are a customer support triage agent. Your job is to:
1. Read incoming support tickets
2. Categorize them (billing, technical, general)
3. Assign priority (low, medium, high, urgent)
4. Route to the appropriate team
Always explain your reasoning for categorization and priority.Safety Constraints
Set limits to prevent runaway behavior:
| Constraint | Description | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Max Steps | Maximum TDAO iterations | 10-50 |
| Max Duration | Timeout in seconds | 300 (5 min) |
| Token Limit | Max LLM tokens per run | 10,000-50,000 |
Step 3: Activate the Agent
