Assigning Tools to Agents

Give agents access to connected tools.

Once a tool is connected to your workspace, you assign it to specific agents. Only agents with an assigned tool can use it.

From the Tools page

1. Click a connected app

2. View the Assigned Agents section

3. Click + Assign to add agents

4. Select the agents that should have access

5. Confirm

From the Agent Details panel

1. Open an agent from the Agent Roster

2. Go to the Plugins tab

3. Click + Add Tool

4. Select from connected tools

5. Save

Permission levels

When assigning a tool, you can set the permission scope:

Level	Description
Full access	Agent can read and write (e.g., create GitHub issues, post Slack messages)
Read only	Agent can fetch data but not modify anything
Custom	Select specific actions the agent can perform

Start with read-only for new agents. Expand permissions once you've verified the agent behaves correctly.

Tool validation

Before an agent uses a tool, the platform validates:

• The tool connection is still active

• The agent has the required permission scope

• Rate limits haven't been exceeded

Validation failures appear in the Activity Feed with clear error messages.
