The Agent Configuration tool enables your Utari workers to modify and customize other agents dynamically. This meta-capability allows workers to adapt agent configurations, enable or disable tools, adjust instructions, and connect integrations—all through natural conversation. It’s particularly powerful for creating specialized agents on-the-fly or adapting existing agents to new requirements.
Modify any aspect of an agent’s configuration:What You Can Update:
Name: Change the agent’s display name
Tools: Enable or disable specific capabilities
MCP Servers: Add or remove integration connections
System Prompt Additions: Add high-priority behavioral instructions
How Updates Work:
Changes apply immediately to the agent
System prompt additions are appended to existing instructions
New instructions receive high priority markers
Existing configuration is preserved unless explicitly changed
System Prompt Additions: When you add instructions to the system prompt, they are appended to the agent’s existing instructions with high-priority markers. They don’t replace existing instructions but add additional guidance.
