Chat agent tools (no Python REPL)
When enabled, Mind chat can search the web, prepare URL imports, generate Studio artifacts, and save notes — only from an allowlist. No arbitrary code execution.
Before you start
- Ops must enable MIND_CHAT_TOOLS on the API (default OFF).
- Notebook with at least one Ready source for grounded answers.
Steps
- 1
Open Mind → notebook → Chat. Ask in natural language (e.g. “Search the web: …”, “generate a study guide”, “make it shorter”).
- 2
Watch Thinking steps for tool_call / tool_result (Searching…, Generating…).
- 3
If chat proposes ingesting URLs, confirm in the modal — nothing is imported until you agree.
- 4
Exports may download markdown/CSV soft; PPTX/PDF stay on Studio export buttons.
- 5
Provenance chips show whether parts came from notebook, web, or Studio.
Common mistakes
- There is no Python REPL or Ultra-style cloud computer — by design.
- When the flag is off, chat is normal RAG-only (no tool steps).
- Rate limits apply per user (~20 tool calls/minute).
- Deep Research agent (MIND_RESEARCH_AGENT) is a separate flag for multi-step research jobs.
