XML Agent

This component acts as a translator between you and Nappai’s powerful language model. It sends instructions to the model in a special format, and the model sends back answers in the same format. This makes it easy to use different tools within Nappai.

Relationship with LangChain

This component uses the LangChain library, a popular tool for building applications with large language models. This ensures that the XML Agent is efficient and reliable in its communication with the language model.

Inputs

  • Language Model: This is the brainpower behind the XML Agent. You need to select which language model Nappai should use to understand and respond to your requests. This is a required field.
  • Prompt: This is where you give the XML Agent initial instructions. Think of it as telling the agent what tools it can use and how to format its answers. A default prompt is provided to help you get started. This prompt guides how the agent interacts with other tools in Nappai.

Outputs

The XML Agent doesn’t have direct outputs in the way some other components do. Instead, it creates a working agent that can process your requests and give you answers formatted in XML. The answers will be displayed in the dashboard after the agent processes your request.

Usage Example

Let’s say you want to use the “SQL Query Constructor” and “SQL Executor” tools to get data from your database. You would configure the XML Agent with a prompt that tells it to use these tools, and then send it a request in XML format. The XML Agent would then use the language model to understand your request, use the specified tools, and return the results in XML format.

Templates

This component is used in many different Nappai workflows, but there isn’t a specific template associated with it. Its configuration is done directly within the workflow builder.

The XML Agent works with many other components in Nappai. Here are a few examples:

  • Google Generative AI Embeddings: Helps the language model understand the meaning of your requests.
  • Explain SQL results: Helps to understand the results from database queries.
  • SQL Query Constructor: Helps to build SQL queries.
  • SQL Executor: Executes SQL queries against your database.
  • Many other tools: The XML Agent can be configured to use a wide variety of tools within Nappai.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Clear Prompts: Use clear and concise prompts to guide the XML Agent. The more specific your instructions, the better the results.
  • XML Formatting: Ensure your XML requests are correctly formatted. Incorrect formatting can lead to errors.
  • Tool Selection: Choose the appropriate tools for your task. Using the wrong tools will result in incorrect or incomplete results.

Security Considerations

The security of your data depends on the security of the language model and the tools you choose to use with the XML Agent. Always use reputable language models and tools, and be mindful of the data you share with them. Review the security settings of each connected component.
