Discover Tools lets your agent find specialized toolsets available in your workspace and enable them when needed. This gives a custom agent access to a broad range of actions without loading every tool into its initial configuration.
The @dust agent already includes dynamic tool discovery. Add Discover Tools to give a custom agent the same on-demand access pattern.

​
How to add it

In the Agent Builder, open your custom agent and select Discover Tools from the Capabilities section. Then save the agent.

​
What it does

When Discover Tools is enabled, your agent can: Once enabled, a toolset remains available to the same agent for subsequent messages in the conversation. Discover Tools only lists tools configured for on-demand availability. The tools still follow their existing space permissions and authentication settings.

​
When to use it

Add Discover Tools when your agent may need to:
  • Perform actions such as posting a message, creating a page, or updating an issue.
  • Retrieve live or private data that is not indexed in company data.
  • Work across several applications without loading every integration upfront.
  • Adapt to new workspace tools without updating its configuration each time.
For retrieving information that is already indexed in your company’s connected data sources, use Discover Knowledge. Use Discover Tools for write actions, live data, or sources that are not indexed.
