## What this lab is about
This lab helps you practice three ideas:
1. Prompt engineering
2. Agentic workflows
3. Agent tool use
You will improve an email triage agent by editing its system prompt.
## Suggested workflow
### Step 1
Click **Load Basic** and then **Run Agent**.
Observe what the agent does well and what it does poorly.
### Step 2
Improve the system prompt so the agent can do the following for each email:
1. Identify the primary intent
2. Classify priority as Low, Medium, or High
3. Assign an owner from: Sales, Support, Finance, HR, Operations, Legal
4. Determine the next action from: Respond, Escalate, Delegate, Request More Information
5. Briefly explain the reasoning
6. Draft a professional reply
### Step 3
Test your prompt on different sample emails.
Compare how the output changes when your instructions become more specific.
### Step 4
Get the agent to use the status lookup tool when needed.
The tool call format is:
`CALL_TOOL: lookup_status <reference_id>`
Examples:
`CALL_TOOL: lookup_status SG-18427`
`CALL_TOOL: lookup_status INC-2041`
The tool should only be used when the email refers to a specific order, shipment, incident, or ticket and current status information is needed.
### Step 5
After you get it working, look at the source code to understand what happens under the hood.
## What to look for in the code
Here is the simple flow:
1. The app sends your system prompt and the email to the model
2. The model either:
- answers directly, or
- outputs a tool call like `CALL_TOOL: lookup_status SG-18427`
3. The app detects that tool call in the model output
4. The Python function runs the lookup
5. The tool result is sent back to the model
6. The model produces the final answer
So when you read the code, focus on these parts:
- where the model is called
- how `CALL_TOOL:` is detected
- how `lookup_status()` works
- how the tool result is passed back into the model"""
