- Webex AI Agent is licensed as an add-on to the Cisco Collaboration Flex 3.0 Contact Center license, not as a Webex Calling user license. fact in context
- For enterprise contact centre deployments the Webex AI Agent add-on is purchased in Cisco Commerce Workspace, with ordering detail in the Collaboration Flex Plan Contact Center Ordering Guide. fact in context
- As part of PCI compliance, autonomous AI agent fulfilment does not currently support flows involving debit or credit cards, and card handling must be done through a third-party integration instead. fact in context
- For autonomous agents, Agent handover is a built-in action that is enabled by default and can be toggled off, rather than a set of rule-based triggers. fact in context
- An autonomous AI agent is configured from free-text instructions plus an optional knowledge base and a set of declared actions with JSON-schema-typed input entities, and the model decides at run time which action to invoke. fact in context
- Cisco states that it opts in to the Content filtering feature provided by Azure OpenAI to prioritise content safety, while acknowledging that generative AI features are prone to errors. fact in context
- For Contact Center Enterprise and Packaged CCE, the Webex AI Agent add-on is ordered in Cisco Commerce Workspace against the Collaboration Flex 3.0 Contact Center offering and requires a hybrid organisation setup that integrates the cloud and on-premises environments. fact in context
- For Contact Center Enterprise and Packaged CCE, Webex AI Agent voice support requires Cisco Unified CVP, Cisco VVB and Cloud Connect to be on release 15.0(1) ES202511 or later. fact in context
- For cloud Webex Contact Center, access to AI Agent Studio requires purchasing the AI Agent add-on for the Flex 3.0 Contact Center licence. fact in context
- Beyond licensing, the Webex AI Agent option in Control Hub is gated behind a Cisco-enabled feature flag; if the option is not visible the organisation must contact Cisco Support to have it enabled. fact in context
- Cisco instructs administrators not to upload Payment Card Industry data, personally identifiable information or protected health information to the AI Agent Studio knowledge base, and makes the customer responsible for upload compliance. fact in context
- Cisco tells customers with EU-facing deployments to review the default transparency message and confirm the final wording meets their branding, legal and compliance requirements before 2 August 2026. fact in context
- AI Agent Studio's runtime guardrails are described only as preventing unethical and harmful responses; no guardrail configuration object, screen or setting is documented anywhere in the administration guide. inference in context
- An AI Agent Studio knowledge base is capped at 2 GB of total storage and 100 files, with an individual file size limit of 10 MB and a lower limit of 2 MB for .txt files. fact in context
- An autonomous AI agent can be configured with a maximum of 10 actions, counting fulfilment, MCP client and custom transfer actions together. disputed in context
- An organisation can create up to 100 AI agents in AI Agent Studio, counting scripted and autonomous agents together. fact in context
- In its MCP client action limitations, the same guide states that the maximum number of actions per agent is defined by the organisation's configuration and directs the reader to their administrator. disputed in context
- Cisco states that Microsoft does not use customer content to improve Azure OpenAI models and does not store or retain Cisco customer data in Azure infrastructure. fact in context
- Cisco states that customer input data is not retained after inference and that the third-party model provider, Microsoft, does not access, monitor or store Cisco customer data. fact in context
- Out-of-the-box reports for AI agents are not available in Analyzer; an administrator must create a flow global variable and import 2 supplied custom visualisation templates to obtain AI agent reporting. fact in context
- Cisco applies automated pattern detection for PCI data in AI Agent voice recordings and limits recording visibility when it fires, but states explicitly that the detection may not identify every instance. fact in context
- Advanced debug logs associated with a scripted agent transaction are typically retained for 180 days. fact in context
- For scripted agents, handover to a human can be triggered by 4 configurable conditions: consecutive partial matches, consecutive fallback messages, consecutive repeated agent responses, or reaching the slot-filling retry limit. fact in context
- A scripted AI agent's knowledge base is a corpus of questions and answers that the administrator supplies, and the natural language understanding model must be retrained after the corpus is edited. fact in context
- An autonomous agent selects 1 of 3 named AI engines: Webex AI Pro 1.0, the multi-language default; Webex AI Pro-US 1.0, English only and available to US customers only; and Webex AI Pro-Europe 1.0, English only and available to Europe customers only. fact in context
- No user has access to AI agent transcripts by default; a full administrator must explicitly grant that access, including to other full administrators. fact in context
- AI Agent conversation transcripts are stored for 90 days and then automatically purged, stated identically for autonomous and scripted agent sessions. fact in context
- AI transparency, the disclosure telling a customer they are speaking to an AI, is enabled by default in European regions and optional elsewhere; disabling it requires the administrator to acknowledge the risk and record audit comments. fact in context
- Webex AI Agent Studio offers exactly 2 AI agent types, scripted and autonomous. fact in context
- Autonomous voice conversation timing is configurable: end-of-speech sensitivity 500 to 2000 milliseconds with a 500 millisecond default, fulfilment timeout 10 to 30 seconds defaulting to 30, caller turn timeout 750 to 3000 milliseconds defaulting to 1500, no-input timeout 10 to 30 seconds defaulting to 10, DTMF inter-digit timeout 2 to 10 seconds defaulting to 5, DTMF maximum input length 8 to 32 characters defaulting to 16, and speaking rate 0.7 to 1.2 defaulting to 1.0. fact in context
- Cisco states that Model Context Protocol actions are read-only once created and that changing an action's settings requires creating a new action. fact in context
- Cisco states that with a Model Context Protocol client configured an agent can automatically invoke third-party tools during live conversations, retrieve real-time data from external systems, and perform actions without human intervention. fact in context
- Model Context Protocol client actions appear only under the autonomous agent branch of the AI Agent Studio guide and nowhere in the scripted agent workflow or its contents. inference in context
- Using AI Agent Studio with Contact Center Enterprise requires Unified Customer Voice Portal, Cisco Virtualized Voice Browser and Cloud Connect on release 15.0(1) ES202511 or later. fact in context
- Access to the AI Agent Studio change logs requires an administrator or artificial intelligence agent developer role, or a custom role carrying the audit log permission. fact in context
- The Model Context Protocol client capability lets autonomous artificial intelligence agents connect directly to third-party tools and services without custom-built interface integrations. fact in context
- The AI Agent Studio guide sends the reader to sections named Onboard your Agent App and Provision on Control Hub, and no page retrieved carries either title; the nearest are pages titled Onboard Your MCP Server and a link labelled Provision Agentic Apps in Control Hub. fact in context
- Cisco states that group-level access control is not supported for Model Context Protocol tools and that tool access is managed at the organisation level only. fact in context
- No source read states what data leaves Webex during a Model Context Protocol tool call, how long a third party retains it, or any residency logging or audit commitment specific to those calls. inference in context
- The AI Agent Studio guide documents no timeout, retry count or agent fallback behaviour for a failed Model Context Protocol call, while documenting several timeouts for other action types. inference in context
- Cisco states that autonomous agent fulfilment does not support debit or credit card handling for payment card compliance and does not say whether the same restriction applies to Model Context Protocol client actions. fact in context
- Cisco states that the maximum number of actions an agent can support is defined by the organisation's configuration and gives no number, telling the reader to contact their administrator. disputed in context
- For each Model Context Protocol action Cisco exposes the tool name description and server details, the input parameters sent, the output returned, an execution state of success or failure, latency in milliseconds, the server name and identifier, and a transaction identifier. fact in context
- Cisco's statement that it does not retain customer input after inference and that Microsoft does not access monitor or store Cisco customer data concerns the underlying language model provider and not the third-party servers an agent calls. fact in context
- The AI Agent Studio guide does not state which contact centre products support Model Context Protocol client actions specifically; its availability table lists agent types against 5 solutions without a per-cell grid. inference in context
- Nothing in the AI Agent Studio guide restricts what an underlying Model Context Protocol tool may do; the read-only statement concerns the action's configuration rather than the operation it performs. inference in context
- Modifying a Model Context Protocol action's automatically populated name, description or input entities requires updating the server definition at the registration or provisioning stage, and Cisco states those changes synchronise automatically to AI Agent Studio. fact in context
- Cisco states that Webex AI Agent Studio supports only 3 authentication types for a Model Context Protocol client action: OAuth2 client credentials, application key, and custom header based authentication. disputed in context
- A different section of the same AI Agent Studio guide states a flat maximum of 10 actions for an artificial intelligence agent, covering Model Context Protocol client actions, fulfilment actions and custom transfer actions together. disputed in context
- Enabling a Model Context Protocol action is a 3-stage pipeline: register the application on the Webex developer portal, authorise it in Control Hub for the organisation, then configure the action in AI Agent Studio. fact in context
- Adding a Model Context Protocol tool automatically populates the action name from the tool name, its description, and its input entities including required fields and data types, from the server definition. fact in context
- AI Agent Studio is reached from either Control Hub or Webex Connect, and voice preview for agents is available only through the Control Hub path. fact in context
- Artificial intelligence agent support on Unified CCX is stated to be an alpha release. fact in context
