Agent Attributes

Question 1

Role

Answer 1

Defines the agent’s function within the crew. It determines the kind of tasks the agent is best suited for.

Question 2

Goal

Answer 2

The individual objective that the agent aims to achieve. It guides the agent’s decision-making process.

Question 3

Backstory

Answer 3

Provides context to the agent’s role and goal, enriching the interaction and collaboration dynamics.

Question 4

LLM (optional)

The language model used by the agent to process and generate text. It dynamically fetches the model name from the OPENAI_MODEL_NAME environment variable, defaulting to “gpt-4” if not specified.

Question 5

Tools (optional)

Answer 5

Set of capabilities or functions that the agent can use to perform tasks. Tools can be shared or exclusive to specific agents. It’s an attribute that can be set during the initialization of an agent, with a default value of an empty list.

Question 6

Function Calling LLM (optional)

Answer 6

If passed, this agent will use this LLM to execute function calling for tools instead of relying on the main LLM output.

Question 7

Max Iter (optional)

Answer 7

The maximum number of iterations the agent can perform before being forced to give its best answer. Default is 15.

Question 8

Max RPM (optional)

Answer 8

The maximum number of requests per minute the agent can perform to avoid rate limits. It’s optional and can be left unspecified, with a default value of None.

Question 9

Verbose (optional)

Answer 9

Enables detailed logging of the agent’s execution for debugging or monitoring purposes when set to True. Default is False.

Question 10

Allow Delegation (optional)

Answer 10

Agents can delegate tasks or questions to one another, ensuring that each task is handled by the most suitable agent. Default is True.

Question 11

Step Callback (optional)

Answer 11

A function that is called after each step of the agent. This can be used to log the agent’s actions or to perform other operations. It will overwrite the crew step_callback.

Question 12

Memory (optional)

Answer 12

Indicates whether the agent should have memory or not, with a default value of False. This impacts the agent’s ability to remember past interactions. Default is False.

Question 13

What does the ‘Role’ attribute signify for an agent?

Answer 13

The ‘Role’ defines the agent’s function within CrewAI, indicating the tasks the agent is specially equipped to handle.

agent.role = 'Data Analyst' # Sets the agent's role in CrewAI

Python

Question 14

What is the ‘Goal’ attribute of an agent?

Answer 14

The ‘Goal’ is the agent’s individual aim, directing its choices and actions within its role.

agent.goal = 'Improve user experience' # Agent's target objective

python

Question 17

What are ‘Tools’ in the context of an agent?

Answer 17

`agent.tools = [‘Sentiment Analysis’, ‘Data Visualization’] # List of t

python

Question 18

What’s an example of ‘Function Calling LLM’ in an agent’s configuration?

Answer 18

`agent.function_calling_llm = ‘custom-llm’ # A different LLM for execut

python

Question 19

How do you set the ‘Max Iter’ and ‘Max RPM’ in an agent?

Answer 19

```
agent.max_iter = 15 # Maximum iterations
agent.max_rpm = 10 # Max

python

Question 20

Can you show how to enable ‘Verbose’ logging for an agent in code?

Answer 20

agent.verbose = True # Enables detailed execution logging

python
