Semantic Views require detailed descriptions, SQL generation rules (business logic, time logic, formatting), table relationships, and verified queries to ensure accurate text-to-SQL generation. Agent configuration covers tool setup, system prompts, orchestration instructions (identity, scope, tool routing, conditional logic), and response formatting. The core insight is that most agent failures trace back to poor data definitions in the Semantic View, not orchestration logic — fix the data layer first. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
