Configure what each agent can reach and how it behaves from Agents in the CloudThinker console. Click an agent to open the Agent Settings dialog.

​
Prerequisites

  • Workspace admin permissions — members can chat with agents but can’t edit them
  • At least one connection in your workspace

​
Settings tabs

The Agent Settings dialog has two tabs: Every agent has the same set of builtin tools. There is no per-agent builtin-tool toggle, so scope an agent by choosing its Connections.

​
Enable or disable an agent

1

Open the Agents page

Go to Agents in the CloudThinker console.
2

Toggle the agent

Use the Enable/Disable toggle to activate or deactivate the agent.
Disable an agent to limit your workspace to specific domains, reduce noise during focused work, or restrict access during maintenance.

​
Assign connections

1

Select the agent

Go to Agents and click the agent.
2

Open the Connections tab

Select Connections in the Agent Settings dialog. Connections are grouped into Builtin and MCP sub-tabs.
3

Select connections

Choose which connections this agent can use, then save. An agent accepts up to 64 connections.
Assign each agent only the connections its role requires. Tony doesn’t need production IAM access to tune databases.

​
Set custom instructions

Instructions sit at the bottom of the Identity tab, not in a tab of their own.
A default agent’s Instructions field is locked and shows “Set by CloudThinker, can’t be changed”. To write your own instructions, create a custom agent.
1

Select a custom agent

Go to Agents and click an agent under Custom.
2

Scroll to Instructions

On the Identity tab, scroll to Instructions.
3

Write the instructions

Cover three areas: role context (expertise for your environment), scope limits (what the agent should and shouldn’t access), and operational guidelines (procedures and escalation paths). The field accepts up to 4,000 characters.
