wxctl. Both quickstarts build the identical calculator-weather-agents example (one knowledge base, two Python tools, two agents, four tests) on watsonx Orchestrate and end at the same deployed result. Pick the path that fits how you want to work, or run both and compare.
This assumes wxctl is installed. If not, see Installation.
Which to pick
| Path | You write | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Declarative | Every file by hand: config.yaml, both tools, the knowledge base | You want to see and control each resource, or learn the config format |
| Generative | One plain-language sentence; IBM Bob composes the rest over the wxctl MCP server | You want the fastest path from an idea to a tested deployment |
Declarative
Write
config.yaml and every file by hand, then plan, apply, and test.Generative
Describe the scenario in one sentence and let IBM Bob build it over MCP.
