The increasing complexity of 6G experimental infrastructures presents significant challenges for researchers seeking to discover and generate datasets on heterogeneous testbeds and digital twins. Traditional approaches require a deep familiarity with platform-specific APIs, configuration schemas, and measurement pipelines, creating substantial barriers to adoption. This paper introduces a novel LLM-based agentic framework that enables intent-driven data search and automated experiment generation across distributed 6G experimental environments. The proposed system employs a cooperative ensemble of specialized agents, including: Chatbot, Search, Experiment, Translation, and Executor agents, that progressively translate high-level natural language user intents into concrete, executable experiment workflows. The framework integrates semantic scenario matching using sentence transformer embeddings, Model Context Protocol (MCP) for standardized tool interoperability, and a testbedadaptive translation layer that decouples intent interpretation from platform-specific execution mechanisms. The paper further defines a comprehensive evaluation methodology covering intent understanding, dataset retrieval, semantic scenario matching, end-to-end pipeline reliability, and guardrail effectiveness, providing a rigorous basis for future experimental validation. The proposed architecture addresses critical challenges in experiment portability, reproducibility, and accessibility, establishing a foundation for intent-driven experimentation in next-generation network research.
