Tools in Athena represent the specific capabilities and actions that agents can perform during their execution. Through fine-grained tool selection, users can precisely control which tools their agents have access to within a session, ensuring that agents only use the capabilities relevant to their specific tasks. Each agent can be configured with a custom set of tools, allowing you to tailor the agent’s functionality to your exact needs. Whether you need an agent to read assets, create documents, manage collections, or interact with external data sources, you can enable or disable individual tools using intuitive toggle switches. This granular control not only optimizes agent performance by reducing unnecessary tool access, but also enhances security by limiting agents to only the actions they need to perform. The tool selection interface provides a searchable catalog of all available tools, each with detailed descriptions of their functionality. Disabled tools will not be accessible during agent execution, giving you complete control over what actions your agents can take.
