Agent Mode

Agent mode grants the assistant controlled access to your filesystem. When enabled, Chatter exposes a curated set of tools (such as read_file, write_file, and search_files) that the model can invoke under supervision.

Enable agent mode from inside a chat session:

/agent on
/agent allow-path .

You can inspect history with /agent history, view available tools with /agent tools, and disable the feature with /agent off. The agent never leaves the directories you explicitly allow.

Use agent mode for repetitive local tasks: summarizing files, quick refactors, or generating reports. Keep an eye on the streamed tool output to ensure each action matches your expectations.
