| 1 | +# Autonomous AI Agents for OCI (Oracle Autonomous Database) |
2 | 2 |
|
3 | | -This guide shows how to install and use the two SQL installer scripts: |
4 | | -- oci_object_storage_agent_install.sql |
5 | | -- oci_vault_agent_install.sql |
| 3 | +## Overview |
6 | 4 |
|
7 | | -What gets installed |
8 | | -- A config table in your target schema: OCI_AGENT_CONFIG |
9 | | -- A PL/SQL package with ready-to-use functions |
10 | | -- AI Agent tools (DBMS_CLOUD_AI_AGENT) mapped to those functions |
| 5 | +This repository provides a **modular, extensible framework** for building **OCI AI Agents** using **Oracle Autonomous Database** and **`DBMS_CLOUD_AI_AGENT` (Select AI)**. |
11 | 6 |
|
12 | | -Important |
13 | | -- INSTALL_SCHEMA is mandatory. Always set it. |
| 7 | +Each OCI service (Vault, Object Storage, Autonomous Database, Network Load Balancer, etc.) is implemented using a **two-layer model**: |
14 | 8 |
|
15 | | -Prerequisites |
16 | | -- A DBMS_CLOUD credential with OCI permissions for the target compartment(s) |
17 | | -- The target schema name (INSTALL_SCHEMA) where packages/tools/config will live |
| 9 | +- **Tools Layer** |
| 10 | + - Installs reusable PL/SQL functions |
| 11 | + - Registers them as AI tools |
| 12 | +- **Agent Layer** |
| 13 | + - Creates sample tasks, agents, and teams |
| 14 | + - Consumes the tools created in the Tools layer |
18 | 15 |
|
19 | | -1) Create or identify a DBMS_CLOUD credential |
20 | | -Example (if needed): |
21 | | -``` |
22 | | -BEGIN |
23 | | - DBMS_CLOUD.CREATE_CREDENTIAL( |
24 | | - credential_name => 'MY_CRED', |
25 | | - username => '<oci_user_or_principal>', |
26 | | - password => '<oci_auth_token_or_secret>' |
27 | | - ); |
28 | | -END; |
29 | | -/ |
30 | | -``` |
| 16 | +### Benefits of This Design |
31 | 17 |
|
32 | | -2) Install — set variables and run the scripts |
33 | | -Use SQL*Plus q'(...)' quoting for JSON so you don't need to escape quotes. |
| 18 | +- Reuse tools across multiple agents |
| 19 | +- Allow end users to create custom agents and tasks |
| 20 | +- Clear separation of: |
| 21 | + - Infrastructure logic |
| 22 | + - AI orchestration logic |
34 | 23 |
|
35 | | -Connect: |
36 | | -``` |
37 | | -sqlplus admin@<tns_alias> |
38 | | -``` |
| 24 | +--- |
39 | 25 |
|
40 | | -Set variables (mandatory INSTALL_SCHEMA, optional INSTALL_CONFIG_JSON): |
41 | | -``` |
42 | | -DEFINE INSTALL_SCHEMA = 'YOUR_APP_SCHEMA'; |
43 | | -DEFINE INSTALL_CONFIG_JSON = q'({"credential_name": "MY_CRED", "compartment_name": "MY_COMP"})'; |
44 | | -``` |
| 26 | +## Design Principles |
45 | 27 |
|
46 | | -Run one or both installers: |
47 | | -``` |
48 | | -@autonomous_ai_agents/oci_object_storage_agent_install.sql |
49 | | -@autonomous_ai_agents/oci_vault_agent_install.sql |
50 | | -``` |
| 28 | +### 1. Two-Layer Architecture |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +Each OCI service is implemented using **two SQL scripts**: |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +| Layer | Script Pattern | Purpose | |
| 33 | +|------|---------------|---------| |
| 34 | +| Tools Layer | `*_tools.sql` | Installs core PL/SQL logic and registers AI tools | |
| 35 | +| Agent Layer | `*_agent.sql` | Creates a sample Task, Agent, and Team using those tools | |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +This design ensures: |
| 38 | +- Tools are reusable across multiple agents |
| 39 | +- Agent behavior remains customizable |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +--- |
51 | 42 |
|
52 | | -Notes |
53 | | -- INSTALL_CONFIG_JSON is optional (defaults to NULL). |
54 | | -- Recommended keys to include if you pass JSON: |
55 | | - - credential_name: your DBMS_CLOUD credential name |
56 | | - - compartment_name: name of the compartment |
| 43 | +## Tools Scripts (`*_tools.sql`) |
57 | 44 |
|
58 | | -3) If you didn’t pass INSTALL_CONFIG_JSON, you can still configure the |
59 | | -agent after installation by adding rows to YOUR_APP_SCHEMA.OCI_AGENT_CONFIG. |
60 | | -Each agent has its own AGENT value |
61 | | -- For object storage use OCI_OBJECT_STORAGE |
62 | | -- For vault use OCI_VAULT |
| 45 | +### Purpose |
63 | 46 |
|
64 | | -Examples (Object Storage) |
| 47 | +Tools scripts are responsible for **infrastructure and capability enablement**. |
65 | 48 |
|
66 | | -Set credential name for Object Storage operations: |
| 49 | +**Example:** |
| 50 | +- `oci_vault_tools.sql` |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +--- |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +### What a Tools Script Does |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +A tools script typically performs the following steps: |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +#### 1. Grant Required Privileges |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +- Grants access to: |
| 61 | + - `DBMS_CLOUD` |
| 62 | + - `DBMS_CLOUD_AI` |
| 63 | + - `DBMS_CLOUD_AI_AGENT` |
| 64 | + - Relevant OCI typed API packages |
| 65 | +- Privileges are scoped to the **target schema** |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +--- |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +#### 2. Create Configuration Table |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +Creates a generic configuration table: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +```sql |
| 74 | +OCI_AGENT_CONFIG |
67 | 75 | ``` |
68 | | -INSERT INTO YOUR_APP_SCHEMA.OCI_AGENT_CONFIG ("KEY","VALUE","AGENT") |
69 | | -VALUES ('CREDENTIAL_NAME', 'MY_CRED', 'OCI_OBJECT_STORAGE'); |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +**Stores configuration such as:** |
| 78 | +- Credential name |
| 79 | +- Compartment name / OCID |
| 80 | +- Resource principal enablement |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +> Configuration is **agent-specific** and persisted for runtime use. |
| 83 | +
|
| 84 | +--- |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +#### 3. Initialize Configuration |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +- Parses optional JSON configuration input |
| 89 | +- Enables resource principal authentication if requested |
| 90 | +- Persists configuration values |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +--- |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +#### 4. Create PL/SQL Package |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +**Example package:** |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +```sql |
| 99 | +oci_vault_agents |
70 | 100 | ``` |
71 | 101 |
|
72 | | -Set compartment name for Vault |
| 102 | +**Package responsibilities:** |
| 103 | +- Implements core OCI API logic |
| 104 | +- Calls OCI APIs using `DBMS_CLOUD_OCI_*` |
| 105 | +- Each function: |
| 106 | + - Returns **CLOB JSON** |
| 107 | + - Includes: |
| 108 | + - Status codes |
| 109 | + - Headers |
| 110 | + - Response payloads |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +--- |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +#### 5. Register AI Tools |
| 115 | + |
| 116 | +- Uses `DBMS_CLOUD_AI_AGENT.CREATE_TOOL` |
| 117 | +- Maps each PL/SQL function to an AI tool |
| 118 | +- Adds rich instructions describing: |
| 119 | + - When to use the tool |
| 120 | + - Safety rules (e.g. no secret exposure) |
| 121 | + - Expected behavior |
| 122 | + |
| 123 | +--- |
| 124 | + |
| 125 | +### Key Characteristics of Tools |
| 126 | + |
| 127 | +- Service-specific but **agent-agnostic** |
| 128 | +- Reusable by any task or agent |
| 129 | +- Safe to re-run (drop & recreate logic) |
| 130 | +- Designed for **human-readable AI responses** |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +--- |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +## Agent Scripts (`*_agent.sql`) |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +### Purpose |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +Agent scripts create **example AI agents** demonstrating how to use the tools. |
| 139 | + |
| 140 | +**Example:** |
| 141 | +- `oci_vault_agent.sql` |
| 142 | + |
| 143 | +--- |
| 144 | + |
| 145 | +### What an Agent Script Does |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +#### 1. Interactive Execution |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +Prompts for: |
| 150 | +- Target schema name |
| 151 | +- AI Profile name |
| 152 | + |
| 153 | +This makes scripts **portable across environments**. |
| 154 | + |
| 155 | +--- |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +#### 2. Grant Required Privileges |
| 158 | + |
| 159 | +Grants: |
| 160 | +- `DBMS_CLOUD_AI_AGENT` |
| 161 | +- `DBMS_CLOUD` |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +To the target schema. |
| 164 | + |
| 165 | +--- |
| 166 | + |
| 167 | +#### 3. Create Installer Procedure |
| 168 | + |
| 169 | +- Creates an installer procedure in the target schema |
| 170 | +- Keeps all agent logic **schema-local** |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +--- |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +#### 4. Create AI Task |
| 175 | + |
| 176 | +Defines: |
| 177 | +- User intent detection |
| 178 | +- Allowed tools |
| 179 | +- Safety rules |
| 180 | +- Formatting expectations |
| 181 | + |
| 182 | +Enforces: |
| 183 | +- Confirmation for destructive actions |
| 184 | +- Human-readable output |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +--- |
| 187 | + |
| 188 | +#### 5. Create AI Agent |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +- Binds the agent to the specified AI Profile |
| 191 | +- Defines the agent’s role and behavior |
| 192 | + |
| 193 | +--- |
| 194 | + |
| 195 | +#### 6. Create AI Team |
| 196 | + |
| 197 | +- Links the agent and task |
| 198 | +- Uses **sequential execution** |
| 199 | + |
| 200 | +--- |
| 201 | + |
| 202 | +#### 7. Execute Installer |
| 203 | + |
| 204 | +- Runs the installer procedure |
| 205 | +- Completes agent setup |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +--- |
| 208 | + |
| 209 | +### Key Characteristics of Agents |
| 210 | + |
| 211 | +- Agents are **examples**, not hard dependencies |
| 212 | +- End users can: |
| 213 | + - Modify tasks |
| 214 | + - Create new agents |
| 215 | + - Create multiple teams |
| 216 | +- Tools remain unchanged and reusable |
| 217 | + |
| 218 | +--- |
| 219 | + |
| 220 | +## Example: OCI Vault |
| 221 | + |
| 222 | +### Files |
| 223 | + |
| 224 | +| File | Description | |
| 225 | +|-----|------------| |
| 226 | +| `oci_vault_tools.sql` | Installs Vault PL/SQL package, config table, and AI tools | |
| 227 | +| `oci_vault_agent.sql` | Creates a sample Vault task, agent, and team | |
| 228 | + |
| 229 | +--- |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +### Supported Capabilities |
| 232 | + |
| 233 | +The Vault tools support: |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +- List secrets |
| 236 | +- Get secret metadata |
| 237 | +- Create secrets |
| 238 | +- Update secrets / rotate versions |
| 239 | +- List secret versions |
| 240 | +- Get specific secret versions |
| 241 | +- Schedule and cancel deletions |
| 242 | +- Change secret compartment |
| 243 | + |
| 244 | +**All operations:** |
| 245 | +- Use persisted configuration |
| 246 | +- Require confirmation for destructive actions |
| 247 | +- Never expose secret payloads unintentionally |
| 248 | + |
| 249 | +--- |
| 250 | + |
| 251 | +## Installation Order (Recommended) |
| 252 | + |
| 253 | +For each OCI service: |
| 254 | + |
| 255 | +1. Run `*_tools.sql` |
| 256 | +2. Run `*_agent.sql` (optional, for sample agent) |
| 257 | + |
| 258 | +### Example (OCI Vault) |
| 259 | + |
| 260 | +```sql |
| 261 | +-- Step 1: Install tools |
| 262 | +sqlplus admin@db @oci_vault_tools.sql <INSTALL_SCHEMA> |
| 263 | + |
| 264 | +-- Step 2: Install sample agent |
| 265 | +sqlplus admin@db @oci_vault_agent.sql |
73 | 266 | ``` |
74 | | -INSERT INTO YOUR_APP_SCHEMA.OCI_AGENT_CONFIG ("KEY","VALUE","AGENT") |
75 | | -VALUES ('COMPARTMENT_NAME', 'MY_COMP', 'OCI_VAULT'); |
| 267 | + |
| 268 | +--- |
| 269 | + |
| 270 | +## Customization & Extension |
| 271 | + |
| 272 | +- Create your own tasks, agents, and teams |
| 273 | +- Tools remain stable and reusable |
| 274 | +- Multiple agents can share the same tools |
| 275 | +- Configuration can be updated in: |
| 276 | + |
| 277 | +```sql |
| 278 | +OCI_AGENT_CONFIG |
76 | 279 | ``` |
77 | 280 |
|
| 281 | +--- |
| 282 | + |
| 283 | +## Error Handling & Safety |
| 284 | + |
| 285 | +- Scripts exit immediately on SQL errors |
| 286 | +- All destructive OCI operations require confirmation |
| 287 | +- Tools return structured JSON containing: |
| 288 | + - Status |
| 289 | + - Headers |
| 290 | + - Payload |
| 291 | +- Fully re-runnable with safe drop-and-create logic |
