Tools

Agents can use tools to take actions beyond just conversation:

Search the web for current information
Create and manage tasks
Call external APIs and services
Execute workflows
Delegate to other specialist agents

Tool access is controlled by your administrator. Some tools are read-only (searching, looking things up), others can make changes (creating tasks, sending messages), and some require your explicit approval before the agent proceeds.

The same agent may have different tool permissions depending on which team it is serving — a research agent might have web search enabled for all teams but API write access only for specific teams.

Approval-Required Actions

When a tool requires your approval, your agent will describe what it wants to do and wait for your confirmation before proceeding. You can approve, modify the request, or cancel it.
