Managed Agents Limited availability

Managed Agents lets you create and run AI agents on the Aiven Platform. Agents can use connected tools to gather information, investigate issues, and perform tasks across Aiven and other systems.

You define what an agent does, choose the AI model it uses, and give it access to the tools it needs. You can interact with an agent in a chat or configure scheduled tasks to run automatically. Aiven manages the infrastructure required to run the agent.

note

Managed Agents is in limited availability. You need access for each project. In the project, click Agents > Request access. After you have access, click Enable agents. To run Managed Agents in a project VPC, click Enable in VPC.

Example uses​

Use agents for tasks that involve gathering information, analyzing it, and taking actions through connected tools. Run these tasks on demand or on a schedule.

For example, you can create an agent to:

  • Review Aiven for PostgreSQL® logs, summarize the findings, and send an update to Slack.
  • Monitor Aiven for Apache Kafka® consumer lag and create a Jira issue when the lag requires action.
  • Investigate an incident using information from multiple systems and summarize the findings.
  • Run recurring operational checks and report the results to your team.

What an agent can do depends on its system instructions, AI model, and available tools and integrations.

How Managed Agents works​

You configure an agent with:

  • System instructions that define what the agent does and how it behaves.
  • An AI model that processes the agent's instructions and requests.
  • Tools and integrations that give the agent access to information and external systems.
  • Schedules that let the agent perform recurring tasks automatically.

You can also start a chat with an agent to give it a task or ask follow-up questions.

Tools and integrations​

Agents can use built-in tools such as Web Fetch and Web Search.

You can also connect an agent to Aiven through Aiven MCP, or add other MCP integrations such as Slack, GitHub, and Jira. You choose which tools each agent can use.

When you connect Aiven MCP, you grant access to services in the current project and assign an MCP role. You can grant any role up to your own. Aiven creates a scoped token automatically.

Run agents interactively or on a schedule​

You can use an agent in two ways:

For example, you can use chat to investigate an incident as it happens, or create a daily schedule that asks the agent to summarize service health.
