Import tools from another agent

Learn how to import tools from another agent into your agent.

When configuring an agent, you can import tools from another agent. This functionality is useful for reusing complex custom tools without the need to recreate them.

Importing a tool creates a deep copy. You can make changes to the imported tool without impacting the tool's usage in the original agent.

Users don't need edit access to an agent in order to import a tool from it.

Complete the following steps to import a tool from another agent:

  1. Create a new agent or navigate to an existing agent. Open the Configuration tab.
  2. In the Tools section, click the + Add Tool button.
  3. Select the Import from other agent button.
  4. From the dropdown, search for or select the agent that you want to import a tool from.
  5. From the list of Available Tools, select the tools that you want to import.
  6. Click Import 1 Selected. The number updates to reflect how many tools you are importing.
  7. In the Configuration tab, you can choose to make edits to your newly imported tool. Any edits to this tool are reflected only in this agent, and the tool in the original agent remains unchanged.
