Tool Selection
Give your agent exactly the tools it needs.
What is Tool Selection?
With Tool Selection you determine which actions and integrations an agent may use, such as consulting a calendar, looking up an order or sending an e-mail. This way your agent doesn't just talk, but actually does work.
How does it work?
- Open the agent and go to the tools.
- Tick the tools and integrations the agent may use.
- Set per tool what the agent may do with it.
- Test whether the agent executes actions correctly.
Use cases
Hair salon: agent may consult the diary and schedule appointments.

Benefits
- Your agent carries out real tasks, not just conversations.

- Connect to systems you already use.
- Less manual work for you and your team.
