You have designed an agent and practiced adding and editing tools. This challenge is the capstone for Module 2: build that agent for real, starting from an empty configuration, without a walkthrough.
Before you start
-
AuraDB instance with your graph loaded (your data or Northwind).
-
A concrete design from the Design an Agent lesson: role, scope, which questions map to Cypher Templates, and a Text2Cypher fallback.
-
You will create a new agent with Create from scratch, not reuse the agent from Create with AI.
Your challenge
Open the Aura Console (Data Services → Agents → Create Agent → Create from scratch). Wire the agent to your instance, then implement your design end to end:
-
Instructions — Role, scope, and what to decline. Put enough graph context in the instructions so the agent stays on task.
-
Cypher Template tools — As many as your design calls for. You already know how to define parameters, descriptions, and queries.
-
Text2Cypher — One fallback tool with a clear when-to-use description and domain context (the schema is supplied automatically).
-
Save and test — Click Update agent after changes. Use the preview to ask questions that hit different tools.
-
Iterate — If the wrong tool runs, use the Thought section, then adjust descriptions or instructions. Add, edit, or remove tools as needed until behavior matches your design.
There is no prescribed tool list or Cypher to copy here. Use your design and your graph’s labels, relationships, and property names.
When you need a refresher
Tool dialogs, Update agent, and the Template-versus-Text2Cypher decision are covered in Creating Cypher Template tools, Using Text2Cypher, Design an Agent, and the smaller challenges earlier in this module.
Summary
You implemented your own agent from scratch: instructions, Cypher Templates, Text2Cypher, and testing in the preview, using skills you built earlier in the module.
In Module 3, you will publish the agent and connect it through MCP.
