This adapter uses schema instructions and local parsing for this output_schema example. It does not request provider-enforced JSON Schema.

output_schema describes the expected type. If parsing or validation fails, result.content can remain a string. Before accessing schema fields in a run result, use isinstance(result.content, YourSchema), replacing YourSchema with the class you passed as output_schema.

Run the Example

Set up your virtual environment

uv venv --python 3.12
source .venv/bin/activate

Install dependencies

uv pip install -U agno "anthropic[bedrock]" aioboto3 boto3

Configure AWS access

Select a source region that supports the model or inference profile in the example. A geographic profile such as us. routes across the source and destination regions listed for that profile; a global. profile can route globally. Verify the model's regional availability and your IAM permission to invoke it. For Anthropic models, complete the account's first-use model access requirements.

export AWS_REGION="us-east-1"
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="your_aws_access_key_id"
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="your_aws_secret_access_key"
# Required when using temporary credentials:
# export AWS_SESSION_TOKEN="your_aws_session_token"

Use credentials and any session token from the same session. Change AWS_REGION if you choose another supported source region. These examples use AWS credentials; agno.models.aws.Claude does not accept an Anthropic API key or a Bedrock API key in place of them.

Run the example

Save the code above as structured_output.py, then run:

python structured_output.py
