Tools
Enable builtin Action Agent tools and named HTTP APIs. Tool calling depends on the selected model.
Tools
The Tools panel in Studio enables platform tools and named HTTP APIs. Availability depends on the selected model supporting function calling. See Model selection.
Builtin tools
Builtin tools are platform-provided capabilities backed by ActionFlows nodes (safe HTTP helpers plus communication channels such as email, Slack, and SMS). Enable them from the Tools panel. Tools that need credentials ask you to pick an organization integration or OAuth connection.
Named HTTP APIs
For third-party APIs without an MCP server, create named HTTP tools: fixed method plus URL template plus encrypted auth. The model only fills path, query, and body parameters (for example getOrders({ orderId })). It does not invent URLs or see secrets.
For remote tool catalogs, attach servers on the MCP panel instead.

MCP
Attach outbound MCP servers to an Action Agent. The agent calls remote tools at chat time. This is not the hosted ActionFlows MCP server.
Security
Studio security for agents: PII redaction, moderation categories, and blocking system-prompt override attempts. Applies to every outbound assistant path.
