External Data Sources

Beyond built-in tools, you can attach an agent to your own data. Each external data
source becomes a tool the agent can query at runtime, plus a note in its context so it
knows the source exists. Types available:

• Read-only databases (Postgres / MySQL) — the agent runs safe, read-only queries;

a statement allowlist and an automatic row limit keep it from doing anything
destructive.

• Document folders — your documents are chunked, indexed, and made searchable by

meaning and keyword, so the agent can answer from them.

• Generic REST APIs — reach an external service's endpoints.
• Single-site web search — every search is forced to one website only; the agent

can't wander off to the wider web.

You manage these on an agent's Config tab under External Data Sources. They're
ideal for grounding an agent in your company's real database or document library without
copying that data into the app.
