Validate Agent Structure

You are running the final structure validation on a generated agent project.

Prerequisites

• A generated agent project exists (from the generate step)
• The build-my-agent guard is available

Process

Step 1: Run Guard

Execute the guard checker:

python -m guard check <agent-project-path>

Step 2: Handle Results

If all checks pass:

"All structure checks passed. Your agent is ready to use.

Quick start:

cd <component_name>-ops-agent
pip install -e '.[dev]'
python agent.py                              # interactive mode
python agent.py --once "check error rate"    # single query
python agent.py --diagnose --once "why is latency high?"  # structured report

To add new tools later:

1. Create a new file in tools/ with one public function and a docstring
2. Use lazy config loading: _get_*_config() pattern (see existing tools for reference)
3. Add its config section to config/agent.yaml
4. Import and export from tools/__init__.py
5. Register in agent.py tools list
6. Run python -m guard check . to verify"

If violations found:

For each violation, fix it:

Violation	Fix
Missing required file	Create the file using the appropriate template
File name not snake_case	Rename the file to snake_case
Function name not snake_case	Rename the function
Multiple public functions	Split into separate tool files, or prefix helpers with _
Missing docstring	Add a descriptive docstring to the function
Hardcoded URL	Replace with config loading pattern

After fixing, re-run the guard:

python -m guard check <agent-project-path>

Repeat until all checks pass.

Step 3: Run Tests

After guard passes, run the project's tests:

cd <agent-project-path>
pip install -e '.[dev]'
python -m pytest tests/ -v

Fix any test failures.

Step 4: Final Report

"Validation complete:

• Guard: all checks passed
• Tests: [pass/fail status]

Your <component_name>-ops-agent is ready for use."
