Overview

Workspaces provide agents with an isolated sandbox file system. When an agent uses agent reasoning mode, it has access to built-in file tools (write, read, edit, grep, delete) that operate on workspace files.
Workspaces must be enabled for agents to use file tools, edit mode (chat_mode: 'edit'), and plan mode (chat_mode: 'plan'). When workspace is disabled, these tools are removed and chat mode falls back to ask.
Each workspace is scoped per-agent and per-user:
  • Authenticated users — each user gets their own workspace per agent
  • Anonymous users — each chat conversation gets an isolated workspace

Built-in File Tools

When an agent runs in agent reasoning mode, these tools are automatically available:
ToolDescriptionApproval
writeCreate or overwrite a fileConditional
readRead file content (supports line ranges)Auto
editExact string replacement in a fileConditional
grepRegex search across workspace filesAuto
deleteSoft-delete a fileConditional
Tools marked “Conditional” require user approval before execution (configurable per agent). Tools marked “Auto” execute without approval.
