Try a tool

Try Tool runs a saved tool once with input you type. It runs as you, then undoes everything. Use it to check a query, a field list, or a Flow before a real run.

  1. Open the tool in Pluto Console and save it. Try Tool uses the saved settings.
  2. Click Try Tool, next to Edit.
  3. Under What the agent sends, fill in the input. Pluto Console shows one field per input. Click JSON to type the input instead.
  4. If the tool acts on the run’s record, enter that record’s Id.
  5. Click Run.

The next screen shows whether the tool succeeded or failed, the error if it failed, how long it took, how many record changes were undone, and who it ran as. Under that is the output the agent gets back. Open What the agent sent to see the input this result answers.

Click Change input to go back with your values kept, or Run Again to run the same input again.

If the tool refuses the input, for example a text value where it needs a number, the tool does not run. Pluto Console stays on the input, shows the message the agent would get, and marks the field it is about.

Try Tool always runs as you, even when the agent has an Agent Execution Identity. It reads and changes only what you can. To see what the execution user can reach, start a real agent run.

  • Only tools whose tool type’s Effects is Stays in This Org can be tried. A callout cannot be undone. Test the others in a real run.
  • It skips approvals and policies, and leaves no Agent Run.
  • You need edit access to Agent Tools.
