Configure Your Agent

Agent settings are managed with dvx agent config. Configuration is layered - platform defaults, then organization defaults, then per-agent overrides - so a value you set on a specific agent wins over the org default.

See what’s set on an agent:

dvx agent config list my-agent

Set the model

Point an agent at a specific model:

dvx agent config set my-agent model --value claude-sonnet-4-6

To set a default for every agent in your organization instead, use org-level config:

dvx config set agent model --value claude-sonnet-4-6

Set the system prompt

Give the agent standing instructions - its role, tone, and any domain context:

dvx agent config set my-agent system_prompt --value "You are a release assistant for the platform team. Be concise."

Connect a Telegram channel

Let people talk to the agent over Telegram (see Set Up an Agent for the full walkthrough):

dvx agent channel telegram link my-agent \
  --bot-token '123456:ABC-DEF...' \
  --allowed-users 123456789,987654321

Set the LLM API key

The key the agent uses to call its model is a secret, not config. Set it once at the org level and every agent inherits it:

dvx secret set llmproxy:llm.api_key --value sk-ant-...

See Manage secrets for per-agent overrides.

Remove a value

dvx agent config delete my-agent system_prompt

Run dvx agent config --help to see the full set of available keys, and dvx config list to inspect organization and platform defaults.
