```

```python surrealdb_for_agent.py theme={null}
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.db.surrealdb import SurrealDb
from agno.models.anthropic import Claude
from agno.tools.hackernews import HackerNewsTools

# SurrealDB connection parameters
SURREALDB_URL = "ws://localhost:8000"
SURREALDB_USER = "root"
SURREALDB_PASSWORD = "root"
SURREALDB_NAMESPACE = "agno"
SURREALDB_DATABASE = "surrealdb_for_agent"

creds = {"username": SURREALDB_USER, "password": SURREALDB_PASSWORD}
db = SurrealDb(None, SURREALDB_URL, creds, SURREALDB_NAMESPACE, SURREALDB_DATABASE)

agent = Agent(
    db=db,
    model=Claude(id="claude-sonnet-4-5-20250929"),
    tools=[HackerNewsTools()],
    add_history_to_context=True,
