API

To modify the configuration of a knowledge base associated with an agent, send an UpdateAgentKnowledgeBase request with an Agents for Amazon Bedrock build-time endpoint. Because all fields will be overwritten, include both fields that you want to update as well as fields that you want to keep the same. You must specify the agentVersion as DRAFT. For more information about required and optional fields, see Augment response generation for your agent with knowledge base.

To apply the changes to the working draft, send a PrepareAgent request with an Agents for Amazon Bedrock build-time endpoint. Include the agentId in the request. The changes apply to the DRAFT version, which the TSTALIASID alias points to.
