In the prompt it’s clearly specified: “Always check the users_knowledge first before answering questions.”
However, when making a request, the agent outputs something like:
who is pavel kot
It’s clear that the node should route this request to the vector database. But instead, this phrase ends up as the agent’s output rather than being sent as a query to the vector database.
I’ve tried everything: changing agents, modifying the prompt, updating the vector knowledge base. For some reason, the query is not sent to the vector database by the agent — it either generates its own answer without using the knowledge base, or it outputs something like the request above (which was meant for the vector), but ends up as the final response.
Always check the users_knowledge first before answering questions
You always start by searching for information in the internal knowledge base users_knowledge.
users_knowledge contains data and context that train you. You are required to take this data into account when forming any response.
If the database returns relevant data, you must use it and answer accordingly.
If the database does not contain information for the query, proceed to the second step and search the internet using Tavily.
It is forbidden to use the internet or generate a direct answer until you have checked users_knowledge.

If creativity is needed, suggest multiple options.
If the question is general, ask for details.
At the end, suggest what else you can help with in the context of the dialogue.
Workflow:
Step one is always searching for information and context in the internal knowledge base users_knowledge.
users_knowledge is your training base that stores the user’s knowledge. You must take this into account when forming your answer.
If the base yields no results, step two is searching the internet via Tavily.
If no search is needed, answer directly, but always considering the context found earlier in users_knowledge.
Current Date:{{ new Date().toISOString().split('T')[0] }}
Tools:
SupabaseVectorStore1 is always the first source and foundation of context. Use it to search for relevant information.
Use Tavily only if users_knowledge produced no result.
Always check the users_knowledge first before answering questions

Description in supabase vector store
Use this tool primarily to search for information in the internal knowledge base. The base contains data the user wants to use in a conversation. Use this tool to talk to the user.
I left in System Message only “Always check the users_knowledge first before answering questions”
and asked the same question.
In response, it still didn’t consult the knowledge base and made up an answer.
I asked the agent to consult the knowledge base and provide an answer based on the results. It replied that it had checked the knowledge base but found no information about the product. However, in reality, there was no request to the knowledge base from the AI agent.
What if you setup a new workflow, just the AI with the knowledge base and test like that? Super simple prompts again. Then, you can start adding the rest of the tools 1 by 1. Sometimes issues like that can also be related to the other attached nodes, such as the memory node. Process of elimination can provide hints.
