Testing Agents

The Agent Builder includes a built-in test section so you can try out your agent without leaving the builder.

How to Test

1. Select an agent from the left sidebar on the Create page.
2. Scroll down to the Test this agent section at the bottom of the agent form.
3. Type a message or question in the input field.
4. Press Enter or click the send button.
5. The agent's response will stream in real-time below the input.

What Gets Tested

When you test an agent, it uses the current configuration shown in the form — including the model, parameters, attached tools, and attached instructions. This means you can tweak settings and immediately see how they affect the agent's responses without saving first.

Tips for Testing

• Start simple. Try a basic question to make sure the agent responds correctly before testing edge cases.
• Test your trigger conditions. If you have tools with trigger conditions, try prompts that should and shouldn't activate them.
• Compare parameter changes. Try the same prompt with different temperature or verbosity settings to see how the output changes.
• Check instruction adherence. Ask the agent something that should be governed by your instructions and verify it follows the guidelines.
