What it is: Override how much content an agent’s model can generate as part of its reasoning, decision making, and text generation. Explicitly setting a larger limit (8,000 or higher) may be required for agents performing complex tasks with many tools and large inputs.How to configure:
Lower limits: More concise responses, faster performance, lower cost
Higher limits: More detailed responses, but may increase processing time
Adjust based on whether you need brief updates or comprehensive explanations from your agent.
Higher limits may incur more cost, and setting a value that exceeds the model’s limit may cause the agent to fail.
What it is: For supported models (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic), you can configure your models to use output tokens to ‘reason’. Decisions will be slower and cost more, but improves performance on complex problems. Ignored unless your selected agent model supports reasoning and you choose a consistent config, e.g. use OpenAI reasoning effort for OpenAI o-series models.How to set it:Using the ‘Provider’ dropdown, set this to match the model you’ve chosen for your Agent (OpenAI, Google, Anthropic)
For OpenAI, you can then select ‘Reasoning Effort’. The default is Medium, and you can also select Low or High.
For Google, you can enter a ‘Thinking Budget’, which can be set at any positive value to enable thinking
For Anthropic, you can enter a ‘Thinking Budget’, which can be set at any value above 1024 to enable thinking
