Tool Grants
Which agent may call what, and on what terms. The same tool is a different risk in two agents hands, which is why the limits live on the grant rather than on the tool.

The form
What is asked for when a record is created here. Required fields are marked; a choice drawn from a configuration list is one an administrator can extend without a release.
| Field | Type | Choices | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agent required | Choice | Looked up from existing records | |
| Tool required | Choice | Looked up from existing records | |
| Fixed arguments | Text | Merged over whatever the model chooses, AFTER it chooses. This is how an agent granted "create lead" is stopped from creating one in another business unit. | |
| Only when | Long text | The call is refused when this does not hold. | |
| Calls per run | Number | ||
| Always ask a person | Yes or no | ||
| Enabled | Yes or no |
The rules that apply here
Everything on this screen obeys the platform rules rather than rules of its own. The ones worth knowing before you use it:
- Narrowing a list — search, conditions, sort, totals, export and saved views.
- What may be changed — the five grounds a record may not be edited on.
- Companies and business units — what the switcher above this list is doing to it.
- Creating a record — required fields, where choices come from, and how the number is allocated.
- Importing a spreadsheet — this screen accepts one, and it runs through the same rules as typing.
