Calling a Custom API from an OCI Generative AI Agent 🧠

In this short video, I step through how to create an Oracle Generative AI Agent and then configure a tool within the Agent to connect to a public API that performs URL shortening. This uses the new (as of July 2025) API Endpoint Calling Tool functionality within the Generative AI Agents Service.

This allows users to ask the agent to shorten a URL, the agent then calls a public API that can shorten URLs (https://cleanuri.com/docs) and returns a shortened URL to the user.
