# Agent Settings: Tools

![Tools panel listing toggles for Wikipedia Search, Course Creation, Google Calendar, Video Generation, MCP, and Grading, with Course Creation enabled](/images/docs/os/agent-settings/agent_settings_tools.webp)

## Overview

The Tools panel enables or disables the built-in tools an agent can call during a conversation. The panel header reads: "Configure tools and integrations for your agent," and the helper text explains: "Give your agent hands. Tools let it do things beyond chatting — look something up, call an API, trigger an action — so it can actually get work done for people."

Each tool is a row with a name, an info tooltip describing what it does, and an on/off toggle. The tool catalog is served by the platform, so the exact list can vary by organization; the screenshot shows **Wikipedia Search**, **Course Creation** (enabled), **Google Calendar**, **Video Generation**, **MCP**, and **Grading**. Toggling a tool updates the agent's enabled-tools list immediately — there is no separate save step.

To reach this screen, open the **Edit Agent** modal, switch to the **Integrations** tab group, and select **Tools** in the left sidebar.

## Target Audience

**Administrator** | **Agent Builder**

## Tools Reference

#### Wikipedia Search
Lets the agent look up information on Wikipedia during a conversation. Shown off in the screenshot.

#### Course Creation
Lets the agent create course content — the enabled tool in the screenshot, fitting the "Course Creator" agent being edited. With it on, the agent can generate and assemble courses from chat.

#### Google Calendar
Connects the agent to Google Calendar actions. Shown off in the screenshot.

#### Video Generation
Lets the agent generate video content. Shown off in the screenshot.

#### MCP
Lets the agent call the Model Context Protocol connectors configured on the **MCP** panel. Turning this on is what allows connected MCP servers to be used inside conversations. Shown off in the screenshot.

#### Grading
Lets the agent perform grading tasks. Shown off in the screenshot.

#### Info tooltips
The info icon next to each tool shows the tool's description as provided by the platform, so you can confirm exactly what a tool does before enabling it.

## How to Use

#### Step 1: Open the Tools panel
Open the **Edit Agent** modal, click the **Integrations** tab group at the top of the sidebar, then select **Tools**.

#### Step 2: Review the available tools
Read each tool's info tooltip to understand what it lets the agent do. The catalog you see is the set of tools your platform makes available.

#### Step 3: Toggle tools on
Switch on each tool the agent should be able to use — for example, **Course Creation** for a course-building agent. The change is applied to the agent immediately.

#### Step 4: Toggle tools off
Switch off any tool the agent should no longer call. Keeping the enabled set minimal keeps the agent focused and predictable.
