What “agent mode” means
“Mode” is simply how the agent works through your request, and the Deep Thinking button is how you choose it:- Off (default): A fast, conversational mode that can still use tools to answer most everyday questions.
- Deep Thinking: The agent breaks the work into branches and can tackle parts in parallel.
- 2X Deep Thinking: The most thorough mode, where the agent can hand parts of the job to specialised sub-agents.
What “tools” mean
A tool is a specific capability the agent can reach for while answering — for example running a query against your data, building a chart, or searching the web. Each agent comes set up with a sensible set of tools for each mode.- Some essential, behind-the-scenes tools always run and are never shown.
- You can only enable tools your organisation’s admins have already approved for the agent.
- Unticking every optional tool means the agent works with only the always-on essentials.
- If an agent’s mode has no optional tools set up, the popover says so.
The Sources / Attachments controls
- Attach file (paperclip in the composer): Opens the chat’s Attachments panel to add files to this conversation.
- Data Sources (the Sources control at the top of the chat): Lets you pick which connected data sources this chat can read. Some data-focused tools and agent options only become available once at least one data source is attached.
Who can use it
- Everyone who can edit a chat (owner, editor): Can type and send messages, stop a running reply, switch the Deep Thinking level, toggle web search, pick from the available agents, adjust tools for a turn, and attach files or data sources.
- Viewers: Can read the conversation but cannot send messages or change these settings.
- Admins: Decide which agents and which tools are available in the first place.
