Create and run your first agent
Creating an agent, choosing a sensible starting model, and verifying health before you rely on it for real work.
On this page
Create an agent
- Start from a template when available; it encodes sensible defaults.
- Name agents for the role they perform so teammates can discover them quickly.
Pick a model policy
Match model capability to task risk: cheaper models for classification, stronger models for multi-step reasoning.
If you use workspace API keys, ensure the provider account has budget alerts.
Verify health
- Use built-in health or ping actions where exposed in your workspace.
- If the agent depends on a gateway or external channel, confirm that dependency is connected before debugging prompts.
