# Prompt Configuration

When you open the **AI** panel, the system sends context information to the resolved **AI Agent**. This context can include:

* The entity ID and type.
* The IDs of documents and attachments selected from the entity.
* The instructions defined on the AI Agent.

The **AI Agent** defines its behavior, model, instructions, and MCP Server associations. The [[aiagentcontext-st|AIAgentContext]] SmartTable only resolves the agent to use for an AI capability.

!!! info "AI Agent Resolution"
    Configure the `AIAgentContext` Smart Table to resolve AI Agents by capability. For version 12.0.0 migration instructions, see the [AI Agent Context Migration Guide](https://developer.criticalmanufacturing.com/explore/guides/migration/version-specific/1200/ai_agent_context_1200/).

## Configure AI Agent Resolution

1. Go to **Administration > Tables > Smart Tables**.
2. Open the [[aiagentcontext-st]] Smart Table.
3. Create or edit an entry.
4. Define the configuration fields:

    * **Capability** - select the AI capability that requires an agent.
    * **Agent** - select the AI Agent to use for that capability.
    * **Startup Prompt** - optionally, define a prompt that runs automatically when the selected AI Agent starts.

For the available capability values, see [[aiagentcontext-st|AIAgentContext]].

### Configure the Default MES AI Agent

The main **AI** page resolves its default agent through the **General Assistance** capability. A standard MES installation maps this capability to **CM MES Agent**.

To replace the default agent, create or edit an **AIAgentContext** entry with the following values:

* **Capability** - `General Assistance`
* **Agent** - the AI Agent to use as the default **AI** agent.
