Agent Tool Configuration

Administrator Guide

This page is specifically designed for administrators (DevOps, IT, MLOps, or platform engineers) who deploy, manage, or secure h2oGPTe in production or enterprise environments.

This page provides integration details, configuration parameters, and requirements for all built-in agent tools available in Enterprise h2oGPTe.

Here you'll find:

• Tool-by-tool configuration variables and deployment requirements
• Default and optional settings, including cloud services and external API keys
• Hardware and dependency notes (e.g., GPU requirements, tokens/credentials needed)
• Best practices for enabling or restricting tools based on your organization's compliance, security, or data-access policies

Before onboarding end users or exposing agent capabilities, review this guide to ensure your environment is correctly configured and all necessary prerequisites—such as external integrations, cloud credentials, or on-prem services—are in place.

Tool requirements

Enterprise h2oGPTe includes multiple agent tools, each with specific requirements. Basic agent functionality is enabled by default, but many tools require additional configuration.

• Check the requirements for each tool you intend to use
• Configure the necessary environment variables in your deployment
• Ensure any required external services or credentials are set up properly
• Verify that hardware requirements (such as GPU for image generation) are met
• Replace all <your-*-key> placeholders with actual keys/tokens

This basic agent configuration enables several tools by default:

ALLOW_API: "1"
H2OGPT_OPENAI_LOG_PATH: /workspace/save/h2ogpt_openai/
TRANSFORMERS_CACHE: /workspace/.cache

Tools

Data analysis capabilities

1. H2O Driverless AI Data Science: Build automated machine learning models and analyze data to generate actionable insights. This tool connects to H2O Driverless AI to run experiments, create predictions, and perform data analysis.

   Configure the tool:

   For DAI Cloud:

   ENABLE_DAI: "1"
   DAI_INSTANCE_TYPE: cloud
   DAI_CLIENT_ID: hac-platform-public
   DAI_ENGINE: <your-dai-engine>
   DAI_ENVIRONMENT: <your-dai-environment-url>
   DAI_TOKEN: <your-dai-token>
   DAI_TOKEN_ENDPOINT_URL: <your-token-endpoint-url>

   For DAI on-premises:

   ENABLE_DAI: "1"
   DAI_INSTANCE_TYPE: onprem
   DAI_ADDRESS: <your-dai-address>
   DAI_USERNAME: <your-username>
   DAI_PASSWORD: <your-password>

   Configuration reference

   Parameter	Type	Deployment Type (Cloud/MC and On-Premises)	Description
   ENABLE_DAI	String	Both	Set to "1" to enable Driverless AI integration
   DAI_INSTANCE_TYPE	String	Both	Specify "cloud" or "onprem"
   DAI_CLIENT_ID	String	Cloud/MC	Client ID for cloud instances. Default: hac-platform-public
   DAI_ENGINE	String	Cloud/MC	Engine identifier for cloud deployments
   DAI_ENVIRONMENT	String	Cloud/MC	Cloud environment URL
   DAI_TOKEN	String	Cloud/MC	Authentication token for cloud access
   DAI_TOKEN_ENDPOINT_URL	String	Cloud/MC	Token endpoint URL for cloud authentication
   DAI_ADDRESS	String	On-Premises	Server address for on-premises installations
   DAI_USERNAME	String	On-Premises	Username for on-premises authentication
   DAI_PASSWORD	String	On-Premises	Password for on-premises authentication
   DAI_MAX_RUNTIME_MINUTES (optional)	Integer	Both	Maximum runtime limit for experiments in minutes (optional)

   How end users interact with the tool

   Once configured, end users can interact with the H2O Driverless AI Data Science tool through natural language prompts. They don't need to write code directly. For example:

   • "Use Driverless AI to create a classification experiment with the Titanic dataset, targeting the 'Survived' column with accuracy setting 2"
   • "Run a regression experiment on my sales data with high interpretability"
   • "Create a DAI experiment with time setting 3 and accuracy setting 5"

   The agent will automatically invoke the underlying tool function:

   # This code is executed automatically by the agent - not by end users
   from api_server.agent_tools.driverless_ai_data_science import driverless_ai_data_science
   
   driverless_ai_data_science(
       data="titanic.csv",
       dataset_name="titanic_test",
       target_column="Survived",
       task="classification",
       experiment_name="titanic_test_experiment",
       accuracy=2,
       time=2,
       interpretability=7
   )

   Secure your credentials

   To securely access Driverless AI credentials:

   1. Navigate to Agents > Authentication in the Enterprise h2oGPTe UI.
   2. Create secure keys for DAI access.
   3. Assign the keys to the H2O Driverless AI Data Science tool.

   Access the credentials in your code:

   # Access credentials securely via environment variables
   enable_dai = os.getenv("ENABLE_DAI")
   dai_max_runtime = os.getenv("DAI_MAX_RUNTIME_MINUTES")
   Before you begin

   • Ensure your system has sufficient computational resources for experiments
   • For cloud instances: Verify authentication tokens and network connectivity
   • For on-premises: Confirm the Driverless AI (DAI) server is accessible from h2oGPTe
   • Use DAI_MAX_RUNTIME_MINUTES to prevent long-running experiments
