A guided walk through the Agent Role Definition worksheet: an agent is a hire, and this sheet is its job description, authority limits, and performance plan. It establishes who the agent works for, then works the worksheet question by question with a lesson at each decision. Your goal in one outcome-shaped sentence, the never list, your own MCP servers and connectors pruned to minimum necessary with a stated reason per tool, guardrails as numbers rather than adjectives, escalation paths with named humans, memory records, success metrics, and an action log destination. It ends with the complete ready-to-paste prompt, a usage explanation for each memory store, and the exact clicks to create the agent, including the Generate button most people forget.
- Who the agent works for: your organization, the agent's name, its named human owner, and its version.
