Tool modes

The tool mode decides how freely the assistant uses tools. Switch it from the tool menu next to the message box, or press ⌘ P (Ctrl P).

​
Choose which tools are available

Open Tools Setup from the tool menu to pick which tools the assistant can use. Save combinations you use often with Save As Preset, and switch between presets later.

​
Built-in tools

Searches the web and reads pages, so answers can include current information with links. Your admin must turn on Web Search and add a search provider key. See Chat features. Use Search Options to pass options like the number of results.
Draws bar, line and pie charts, and interactive tables, directly in the conversation.
Runs JavaScript or Python to calculate, transform data or plot. Python runs in your browser with Pyodide; it can fetch files over HTTP when the server allows it (CORS). Your admin can turn code execution off.
Calls a public URL or REST API and reads the response.
Searches a knowledge base you mention and cites passages. See Knowledge.
Creates and edits images. See Files & images.

​
Connector tools

Connectors add tools from outside services, such as creating a GitHub issue or querying a Notion database. Connectors you add, and connectors shared with your organization, appear in the tool menu and the @ menu. See Connectors.

​
See what a tool did

Each tool call appears in the conversation with its request and response. Choose the default detail level in Settings → Chat display:
  • Compact: header only. Click a call to see its request and response.
  • Expanded: request and response as a readable tree.
  • Debug: the raw payload, exactly what the tool sent and returned.
