IBM i ships with more than 400 SQL services across two dozen categories that already expose the state of the system as queryable data, covering active jobs, object authorities, PTF levels, IFS metadata, and much more. This session shows how to turn that surface into agent capabilities without building custom infrastructure for each one. We will build a working agent step by step, wiring SQL Services in as tools, handling the results, and letting the agent reason over live system data to answer questions that would otherwise mean digging through five screens. The focus is practical: how to scope what an agent can touch, how to keep it grounded in real query results, and how to structure tools so the agent reliably picks the right one. The result is a reusable pattern that applies to any of the SQL Services categories, and an agent you can extend immediately.
