# Role

The **Role** defines what the Agent is designed to do and establishes the foundation for its decision-making.\
It should summarize the Agent’s responsibilities and general behavior without procedural details.

**Best practices:**

* Keep it under 250 characters.
* Focus on *purpose* rather than *process*.
* Avoid overly broad descriptions.

**Example:**

> “Dental care and scheduling assistant — specialized in Endodontics and Aesthetic Dentistry for premium clients.”

This field serves as the Agent’s mission statement, guiding its reasoning and responses.
