Built-in tools

Each tool has a permission: Allow runs without asking, Auto asks only when a call looks risky, Ask always asks, and Off removes the tool. Change them in Settings → Connectors & tools → Gluon. A group’s own tools follow the group owner’s permissions.

Where says who can use a tool: you in your private chats, the group as the group’s own tool, or you in groups when your assistant acts for you in a group. Paid tools spend your credits.
