Science and Technology News Agent

This folder contains a no-code agent that is specialized in science and technology news. This agent has access to a science and tech news document collection and web search tools to answer questions about AI, space exploration, software, quantum computing, and scientific research.

This agent is designed to be used as a sub-agent of the News Orchestrator, but it can also be used as a standalone agent.

Note: Before configuring this agent, you must set up:

1. The News Search Tools MCP server.
2. A Science and Tech News custom source and collection. See the News Custom Source example (use CATEGORY = 'tech'). Make sure to set up an automation to re-vectorize the collection on the source’s schedule.

Retrieval Settings - System Prompt

Any system prompt works with this agent. This is a no-code agent, so the LLM uses the agent card and tools to determine how to respond.

Tools

From the News Search Tools MCP server, add:

• search_nyt_headlines
