**Important prerequisite:** Only AI Assistants set to **Agent mode** can use tools. If your AI Assistant is in another mode (for example: General (default) Q\&A mode), you cannot configure or use tools for it.
{% endhint %}

On the AI Assistant's settings page, switch to the "<mark style="color:blue;">Q\&A Mode Settings</mark>" page option.

* **Check**: Verify whether the currently selected mode is "<mark style="color:blue;">Agent mode</mark>"
* **Change**: If not currently in Agent mode, please **switch** it to Agent mode.
