# Agents In Workflow This sample demonstrates how to use both `task` mode and `single_turn` mode Agents as nodes within a `Workflow`. ## Overview The workflow represents a medical lab intake process: 1. **`intake_agent`**: A `task` mode Agent that chats with the user to collect their `name` and `phone_number`. It handles a multi-turn conversation until its `PatientIdentity` output schema is fulfilled. 1. **`check_identity`**: A regular Python function node that receives the `PatientIdentity`. It mocks checking the database. - If the name is anything other than "Jane Doe", it yields a `retry` route, sending the user back to the `intake_agent`. - If the name is "Jane Doe", it routes to the `generate_instruction` agent. 1. **`generate_instruction`**: A `single_turn` mode Agent that uses the `find_orders` tool to look up orders. It requires tool confirmation before execution. ## Sample Inputs - `Hi, I am Jane Doe, my phone number is 555-1234.` *The system will process this and return the mock lab orders along with AI-generated instructions on how to prepare.* - `I'm here for my blood work.` *The system will ask for your name and phone number.* - `My name is John Doe, and my number is 123-456-7890.` *The system will fail to find John's orders and route back to the intake agent.* ## Graph ```text [ START ] | v [ intake_agent ] <----. | | v | [ check_identity ] --- retry | | (DEFAULT_ROUTE) v [ generate_instruction ] ``` ## How To Within an ADK workflow, you can embed LLM agents directly as nodes. The ADK runner handles them according to their `mode`: ### 1. Task Mode Agents A `task` agent (`mode="task"`) handles a multi-turn conversation on its own before passing control to the next node. It will continually interact with the user until its specified task is completed. ```python class PatientIdentity(BaseModel): name: str phone_number: str intake_agent = Agent( name="intake_agent", mode="task", # Stops and chats with the user until the schema is populated output_schema=PatientIdentity, instruction="...", ) ``` The parsed `output_schema` object is automatically forwarded as the `node_input` to the next node in the graph. ### 2. Single Turn Mode Agents A `single_turn` agent (the default mode if omitted) executes a single LLM call. It is typically used for inline text generation, summarization, or classification without chatting with the user. ```python generate_instruction = Agent( name="generate_instruction", tools=[FunctionTool(find_orders, require_confirmation=True)], instruction=""" Use the find_orders tool to get the patient's orders. List the orders found, and then generate a concise instruction about how to prepare based on those orders. """, ) ``` In this sample, the `generate_instruction` agent uses the `find_orders` tool to retrieve the orders. It also demonstrates **tool confirmation**, requiring the user to approve the tool call before it executes.
