Template literal notation uses the dollar sign and curly braces to signify a variable or an expression. For example:

The current customer number is: ${

...

customerNumber}.
The customer name is: ${customerName.trim()}.

EJS Notation

EJS Syntax allows you to both control the instruction output and its flow. Use the <%- someOutput %> syntax to control the instruction output. Use the <% code %> to control the flow. Template literals can be used together with EJS syntax, if desired.

For example:

The current customer number is: <%- customerNumber %>.
The customer name is: ${customerName}<%- customerName %>.

<% if (opportunities.length > 0) { %>
The following is a list of customer opportunities:
<% for (let opportunity of opportunities) { %>
- <%- opportunity.description %>
<% } %>
<% } %>

Calling Routines

You can directly invoke Agent Routines from Agent Instructions by using the call() API. This approach enables integration of server data into instructions, allowing database access, program calls, and consumption of Web Services.

Begin by creating the appropriate routine, and defining its input and output parameters. You can mark the routine private to ensure that the large language model doesn’t attempt to call it autonomously. Then, include the routine call in your instructions using EJS syntax. Here is an example:

<%
const { customerNumber, customerName } = await call("get session data", { sessionId });
%>

The current customer number is: <%- customerNumber %>.
The customer name is: <%- customerName %>.

In this instance, customerNumber and customerName are retrieved from server-side data by calling the "get session data" routine, while sessionId is an Instruction Variable sourced from the browser. This method effectively marries server-side capabilities with client-side interactions, allowing for a seamless and secure use of your data.
