In this guide, you switch on a tool for one assistant and deploy the change, so the assistant can use the tool when it answers. Each assistant has its own tool list, so you can give every assistant only the tools it needs.Every assistant has an Assistant Tools panel that lists the tools your organization allows. A switch next to each tool turns it on or off for that assistant only. Tools marked as Default by a Global Admin are already on when an assistant is created.You change tools in the assistant's Staging view. Edits in Staging are private until you deploy them. When you deploy, your changes go to Production, the live version of the assistant. To learn more, see Staging & Publishing.A tool appears in the panel only if it's enabled for your organization, and a connector only once it's connected. See Tools Overview. Use cases#

Turn on the Web Search Tool for that assistant only.Engineering assistant with a connector: Your Global Admin added a connector for your code documentation.
