Managing Tools

Tools extend your agents' capabilities by connecting them to external services. Tools are grouped into toolsets - A toolset is a reusable collection of tools and configurations that can be used by multiple agents. This guide explains how to add and manage toolsets in your workspace.

Overview

Tools in Dust let your agents interact with services like GitHub, [other tools to add]. Tool management is available to workspace administrators through the Knowledge / Tools page.

Adding and configuring Toolsets

You can add predefined toolset by doing the following :

1. Navigate to the Tools page in your workspace settings
2. Click the "+ Add Tool" button
3. Select your desired tool from the available options
4. Complete any required configuration:
   • Some tools need authentication credentials. You'll have to login to the external service.

     ❗️

     These credentials will be used by all users who have access to the tool.

By clicking on a toolset, you can see the details, including the available tools, manage authentication, and remove it.

It is also possible to add remote MCP servers here as toolsets - check Remote MCP Server documentation.

Space-Based Restrictions

• Click the "Sharing" tab on any tool.
• Enable "Restricted Access".
• Select which spaces can use the tool.
• Only members of those spaces will be able to use the tool.
