The Tools tab is where you control what an agent can invoke. There are two sections: MCP servers and Capabilities. Open an agent → Tools tab.

​
MCP servers

The MCP grid lists every server in your catalog (see MCP Servers for adding servers). Check a server to assign it - the agent gets access to all of that server’s tools. Examples:
  • Assign redshift-mcp → agent can run SQL queries
  • Assign github → agent can open PRs, read issues, etc.
  • Assign datadog-mcp → agent can query logs
Assign only what the agent needs for its job, then click Save Assignments.

​
Capabilities

Two toggles below the MCP grid.

​
Internet Access

Enables web search and fetch - the agent can look up current information or read content from a URL on demand. Leave off by default; turn on for agents that do research or consume external docs.

​
Shell Access

Enables terminal commands for the agent via the Bash tool. When enabled, the agent’s shell is sandboxed to its own workdir — it cannot access the host filesystem outside that directory. The following are always denied, regardless of the agent’s instructions:
  • Host secrets and credential files (.env, SSH keys, cloud credentials)
  • System CLIs that can affect the host: gh, aws, kubectl, gcloud, heroku, terraform, docker, helm
  • Global package installs (npm install -g, pip install outside a virtualenv, brew install, apt, yum)
  • Destructive commands: rm -rf /, dd, mkfs, shutdown, and similar
The following are allowed:
  • Source control: git (clone, pull, push, diff, log, etc.)
  • Package managers scoped to the workdir: npm install, pip install -r requirements.txt, go get
  • Build and test: npm run, make, go test, go build, pytest, cargo test
  • Standard file inspection: ls, cat, grep, find, jq
Useful for agents that need to run git operations, execute tests, or build artifacts in a local codebase. Leave off for agents that only need to read data or call APIs via MCP.

​
Always on

Read and Write are on for every agent and cannot be removed. They power loading the system prompt, skills, and wiki, and writing memory files.

​
Changes are live

Save any tool change and the runner hot-reloads the agent within seconds. A snapshot is taken so you can roll back via the History tab.

Next steps

MCP Servers

Add servers to the platform catalog.

OAuth MCPs

Connect servers that require OAuth (Figma, Linear, etc.).
