Configuring an Agent

The Configuration tab holds an agent's system prompt and its per-run limits.

Before you begin​

Open the agent you want to configure from Agents > Home, or from Recents in the left sidebar.

Write instructions​

  1. Open the Configuration tab.
  2. Enter the agent's system prompt in the Instructions editor.
  3. Select Save draft in the top bar.

This is the same instructions field the creation wizard collects — editing it here updates the agent's draft.

Set run settings​

Under Run settings:

  1. Set Max iterations — the most tool-call/response cycles the agent can take in one turn. Default is 8.
  2. Set Max total tokens — a hard cap on tokens spent per turn, across prompt, completion, and every tool call in that turn. Choose 50K, 100K, 250K, 500K, 1M, or Unlimited. The run stops once this is hit.
  3. Select Save draft.

Review A2A delegates​

Under Advanced: orchestration, expand Delegates to (A2A) to see which other agents this one can hand work off to. This section is read-only — to link an A2A registry item, select Manage A2A registries, or attach one from the Capabilities tab's MCP & A2A registry section.

How you know it worked​

The top bar's badge changes to Editing draft vN once you have unsaved changes, and Save draft becomes enabled. After saving, the badge's secondary line reflects the saved draft.
