Create a script to add it to an AI agent in AI Agent Studio. With scripts, you can use the scriptable APIs and back-end integration to support the AI agent.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_aia.admin

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllAI Agent StudioCreate and manageAI agents.

   | Fields | Description |
   |-|-|
   | Name | Name that you want to specify for your script. |
   | Description | Description of the script and what it's going to do to assist your AI agent. Note: This description is sent to the large language model (LLM). |
   | Script inputs | Input name and description to use in the script. The LLM uses the name and description to determine what value should be used at runtime. Example: Input name is task_record_sys_id and description is sys_id of the Task Record, this is mandatory. |
   | Script | JavaScript code that includes an object class or a function for your script. Note: For improved security, use GlideRecordSecure instead of GlideRecord and addUserEncodedQuery() instead of addEncodedQuery(). |
   | Execution mode | Mode of execution for your script: * Supervised: Inputs from your live agent are required during the execution of this tool while the AI agent runs. * Autonomous: Doesn't require any input from your live agent during the execution of this tool while the AI agent runs. {#add-script-ai-agent__ul_hfz_ccv_cdc} |
