Building Your Agent Mesh

This section covers authoring the building blocks of your deployment: the agents that do the work, and the models, entrypoints, connectors, toolsets, and skills that support them.

Two Ways to Author

You author almost every resource in one of two ways, and you can mix them:

• From the Agent Mesh UI. Build and deploy from the Builder in the Agent Mesh UI, with no YAML and no restart. Every page in this section includes a UI walkthrough.

• As declarative config. Describe the same resources as version-controllable YAML and reconcile them with sam config apply, the path that suits GitOps and automation. Each resource has a companion CLI page, and the shared workflow is covered in Managing Configuration as Code (Early Access).

For help deciding when to configure a resource and when to write custom code, see Extending Agent Mesh: Configuration or Code.

What You Can Build

• Quick Build (Experimental)—Describe what you want in plain language, and the Builder designs, validates, and deploys building blocks for you.

• Creating Agents—Give an agent its instructions, model, tools, and agent card, then deploy it.

• Creating Workflows (Early Access)—Orchestrate several agents as a deterministic, multi-step graph.

• Connecting External Agents—Bring an Agent-to-Agent (A2A) agent that runs outside Agent Mesh into your deployment.

• Configuring Connectors—Give agents no-code access to databases, knowledge bases, APIs, and other systems.

• Configuring Entrypoints—Expose agents through Slack, Microsoft Teams, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and event-mesh entrypoints.

• Configuring Models—Register the large language model (LLM) providers and models your agents use.

• Creating Toolsets—Package custom tool code and attach it to your agents.

• Creating Skills—Bundle on-demand instructions and tools that agents load when needed.

Next Steps

Most readers start by creating an agent, in one of two ways:

• To build one through a guided, AI-assisted conversation, see Quick Build (Experimental).

• To author one yourself, see Creating Agents.
