Kibana Agent Builder

This is your programmatic interface to Kibana's Agent Builder, letting Claude create, configure, and test AI agents without touching the UI. It handles the full lifecycle: listing available tools, spinning up new agents with custom instructions and tool selections, updating configurations, and even running test conversations through the streaming chat endpoint. The workflow is thorough, walking through tool discovery, name collision checks, and verification steps. You'll need KIBANA_URL and either an API key or basic auth credentials set up. Most useful when you're building multiple agents with similar configurations or need to automate agent deployment as part of a larger Elastic Stack setup. The chat testing can take 30 to 60 seconds as agents reason through responses.

Kibana Agent Builder

Create, inspect, update, delete, and test Agent Builder tools and agents. Ground LLM responses in Elasticsearch data through scoped search tools, parameterized ES|QL, and workflow integrations.

Environment Configuration

This skill executes Elasticsearch operations through the elastic CLI. If the elastic CLI is not installed, tell the user what it is needed for. Do not guess credentials, call the HTTP API directly, or attempt other workarounds.

This skill references operations in HTTP-shorthand form (e.g., GET /, GET /_cat/indices, GET /{index}/_mapping, GET /{index}/_settings/index.mode, POST /_query). The Operations table at the end of this document maps each shorthand to the equivalent elastic CLI command — always use the CLI rather than calling the HTTP API directly.
