Customizing for Your Use Case

These examples show patterns you can adapt:

1. Tool Selection - Choose tools relevant to your domain
2. System Prompts - Define the agent's persona and output format
3. Temperature - Lower for factual, higher for creative tasks
4. Result Limits - Adjust max_num_results based on depth needed

Example customization:

from strands import Agent
from strands.models import BedrockModel
from valyu_agentcore import secSearch, financeSearch

agent = Agent(
    model=BedrockModel(
        model_id="us.anthropic.claude-sonnet-4-20250514-v1:0",
        temperature=0.2,  # Factual analysis
    ),
    system_prompt="You are a compliance analyst...",
    tools=[
        secSearch(max_num_results=20),  # More SEC results
        financeSearch(max_num_results=10),
    ],
)

Gateway Deployment

These agents can also run through AgentCore Gateway. After deploying Valyu to your gateway, the same queries work with centralized auth and audit logging.
