Structured data stores not visible to Conversational Agents' tools

[IanAtDazed]

Hi all

These are my steps:

1. Create a Vertex AI Coversational Agent in the global region.
2. Create a Tool.
3. Set type to Data store.
4. Save.
5. Click Add data store in the Data stores section.
6. The Add data stores panel opens to the right of the page.
7. Click the Create new data store link in the panel.
8. A new tab opens for AI Applications: Data stores.
9. Create 3 data stores, all in the global region:
   
   1. An unstructred data store from a PDF.
   2. A structured data store from JSONL.
   3. A structured data store from a BigQuery table.
10. Check each data store for successful Import completed status, ability to browse documents, etc.
11. Open the previous tab (from step 7.)
12. Click refresh in the Add data stores panel.
13. The unstructured (PDF derived) data store appears in the list, but the structured data stores don't.

Can anyone please explain why this is happening, and what I need to do to access the structured data stores?

Thanks

Hi @IanAtDazed,

Welcome to Google Cloud Community!

It’s possible that data stores such as structured data(JSONL) and BigQuery table are restricted access features on your project. I suggest filling out the allowlist form at this documentation to request access.

In addition, structured and unstructured data stores are managed differently, structured data stores may require specific configurations or schema definitions for Conversational Agents. Ensure that the data structures are formatted correctly, inspect the imported documents to verify if they have been parsed correctly, and check if the data fields are accurate. For complete guidance, you can refer to this documentation, which might be helpful in understanding data stores for Conversational Agents, including supported sources, etc.
