Slash Commands

Control the next message

Changing an agent during a conversation previously meant leaving the chat and finding the relevant setting in the configuration panel. Slash commands bring the most common controls into the composer.

Type / at the start of a block or after a space to open the command menu. Continue typing to filter the available commands.

Change the model

Use /model to select another configured model. The change updates the draft configuration, and the next message uses the selected model without a separate commit.

Change the runtime

Use /harness to change the runtime that connects the model to the agent. If the current model cannot run with the selected runtime, Agenta warns you and selects a compatible model when you apply the change.

Change permissions

Use /permissions to choose how the agent handles actions that require approval. Existing permission rules remain in place when you change the policy.

Reference skills and tools

The same menu lists the skills and tools configured on the agent. Selecting one inserts its name into your message as plain text. This gives the agent a clear hint about the capability you want it to use while keeping the final choice in the conversation.

Connected app tools use readable names such as gmail.send_email, instead of their internal identifiers.
