# Input

The **Input** section defines which data is passed to the AI agent at runtime.\
Inputs are configured through **parameters**, which act as structured placeholders and can be populated from chats, dataflows, triggers, or external integrations.

Correct input configuration is essential for predictable and reliable agent behavior.

***

### Input parameters

Parameters define the inputs that are passed to the agent during execution.

* Parameters are available within the **system instruction** and the **runtime context**
* Each parameter consists of:
  * A name
  * A type
  * An optional description
  * An optional flag indicating the main chat input

#### Supported parameter types

* **Text**
* **Boolean**
* **Integer**
* **Fraction**
* **Date**
* **Datetime**
* **File**
* **MultipleFiles**

### Parameter configuration

<table><thead><tr><th width="196">Field</th><th>Description</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Name</strong></td><td>Unique identifier of the parameter. Used to reference the input within instructions and runtime context.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Type</strong></td><td>Defines the data type of the input (e.g. Text). Determines how the input is processed.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Description</strong></td><td>Optional explanation of the purpose of the parameter.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Is main chat input</strong></td><td>Marks this parameter as the primary chat input. Only one parameter can have this status.</td></tr></tbody></table>

***

#### Notes

* Parameters marked as **main chat input** are used as the primary user input in chat-based agents.
* Structured agents may define multiple parameters without a main chat input.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://academy.any2info.com/any2info-academy/no-code-platform/ai-studio/agents/create-agent/input-parameters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
