Our goal was to build an AI agent using IBM watsonx Orchestrate to automate new employee onboarding. We developed a custom backend API and OpenAPI specification to enable the agent to create employee accounts. Despite rigorous testing and validation, we encountered a persistent 404 error when the platform attempted to call our custom tool. This issue persisted even in the official hackathon environment provided by IBM. Our project demonstrates deep platform analysis, elite-level debugging skills, and production-ready components. While we didn't achieve a working demo, we delivered comprehensive documentation of a critical platform flaw, which we believe provides invaluable feedback for IBM's product team.
