# Prompt

The **Prompt** field defines the operational and communication logic of the Agent.\
It determines *how* the Agent should behave, speak, and execute its tasks.

Prompts can contain:

* Behavioral instructions (tone, vocabulary, persona).
* Operational logic (how to respond to certain topics).
* Context about the target audience or environment.
* Examples of expected responses or outputs.

**Example:**

> “You are the virtual assistant of a premium dental clinic. Maintain a professional and empathetic tone. Always confirm client data before scheduling and avoid providing medical advice.”

Markdown formatting is supported, allowing structured sections like:

```
## Voice & Tone
## Procedures
## Escalation Rules
## Example Replies
```

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zaia.app/agents/agent-settings/prompt.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
