Capacities
Extra Capabilities allow you to enable advanced execution features that change how an Agent reasons, plans, and contextualizes its responses.
These capabilities are optional and should be enabled only when required, as they may impact response time and credit consumption.
Planning
When Planning is enabled, the Agent automatically generates an execution plan at the start of each task.
This plan evaluates:
The user’s request
Available Tools
Connected MCPs
Required steps to reach the objective
Planning helps the Agent act in a more structured and predictable way before executing any action.
Ideal for
Agents that interact with multiple Tools or Workflows
Scenarios involving API orchestration
Problem-solving tasks that require structured execution
Complex flows where the Agent must decide how to act before acting
💡 Tip: Enable Planning for operational or automation-heavy Agents. For simple conversational Agents, it’s usually unnecessary.
Reasoning
Reasoning controls the depth of analysis applied by the Agent when generating responses.
When enabled, you can choose a Reasoning Mode:
Low — Fast responses for simple interactions and FAQs
Medium — Balanced reasoning for most business use cases
High — Deeper analysis and structured thinking for complex decisions
Higher reasoning levels improve accuracy and coherence but may increase response time and credit usage.
Ideal for
Analytical or decision-oriented Agents
Agents that evaluate conditions before acting
Use cases involving logic, comparison, or multi-step thinking
⚠️ Note: Use higher reasoning levels only when necessary to avoid unnecessary cost and latency.
Date and Time
When Date and Time is enabled, the Agent gains awareness of the current date and time.
You can optionally define a Timezone, or keep it set to Auto, allowing the platform to infer the correct timezone automatically.
This capability allows the Agent to:
Answer questions involving dates or schedules
Reference the current day, week, or time
Perform time-based reasoning (e.g., deadlines, reminders, availability)
Ideal for
Scheduling and calendar-related Agents
Task management and reminders
Context-aware conversations involving time
Best Practices
Start with all Extra Capabilities disabled
Enable Planning only for complex or multi-step flows
Adjust Reasoning Mode based on the Agent’s responsibility
Enable Date and Time only if the Agent needs temporal awareness
Keeping Extra Capabilities minimal results in faster, more predictable, and more cost-efficient Agents.
