Smarter Agents: Validate and Retry

You've written a validation function to check that a real estate agent's responses include enough detail. Now it's time to use that function in an agent.

If the response is too short, your check_answer_length() function will raise an exception, and the agent will automatically retry with a better, more complete answer based on your feedback.

Note we're using verbosity_level=2 to have visibility on the agent's thought process and actions.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Add check_answer_length to the final_answer_checks list when creating the agent.
  • Run the agent with a simple prompt to trigger a response.
