Give agents access to tools by attaching capabilities.

​
Three Capability Types

​
Built-in Capabilities

Pre-configured tools like Web Search, Code Runner, Files, etc.

​
Connectors

External API integrations (REST, MCP Registry, Custom MCP).

​
Plugins

Custom WebAssembly tools you’ve created.

​
Attaching Capabilities

1

Open Agent Settings

Agents > Select agent > Settings
2

Go to Capabilities Tab

Click Capabilities tab.
3

Attach New Capability

Click Attach Capability button.
4

​
Managing Capabilities

​
View Attached Capabilities

  • Settings > Capabilities tab
  • Shows all attached capabilities
  • Status (Active/Inactive)

​
Remove Capability

  1. Click Remove on capability
  2. Confirm removal
  3. Agent immediately loses access

​
Reorder Capabilities

Drag capabilities to reorder (affects tool discovery priority).

​
Built-in Capabilities

Immediately available. No configuration needed. Popular combinations:
  • Research: Web Search + Browser + Knowledge Retrieval
  • Data Analysis: Code Runner + Files + Sandbox
  • API Integration: HTTP Client + Files
See Built-in Capabilities Overview for details on each.

​
Connectors

Pre-configured external integrations.

​
Attach Connector

  1. Connector must be created first
  2. Settings > Capabilities
  3. Click Attach Capability > Connectors
  4. Select connector
  5. Click Attach

​
Connector Configuration

Some connectors allow per-agent settings (e.g., API rate limiting).

​
Plugins

Custom tools you’ve built.

​
Attach Plugin

  1. Plugin must be created and published
  2. Settings > Capabilities
  3. Click Attach Capability > Plugins
  4. Select plugin
  5. Click Attach

​
Tool Visibility

With Omni Tool enabled, agent automatically discovers best tool for each task. Without Omni, agent must explicitly choose tools.

​
Cost Considerations

For current pricing details, see Pricing. Each capability type has associated usage costs. Monitor in Account > Usage dashboard.

​
Testing Capabilities

After attaching:
  1. Open agent
  2. Click Chat
  3. Ask agent to use specific tool
  4. Verify it works
  5. Check for errors
Example: “Search for Python tutorials”

​
Troubleshooting

​
Capability not working

  • Verify it’s attached (Settings > Capabilities)
  • Check capability requirements met
  • Test capability individually
  • Review error messages

​
Agent slow

  • Too many capabilities increases latency
  • Remove unused ones
  • Prioritize important tools

​
Permission denied

  • Check agent has permission to use connector
  • Verify connector credentials valid
  • Ensure resource restrictions allow access
