miscBoltAlt icon Beta

This product is in open beta. It’s available for use but still in active development and may change.

Agents have tools that do not depend on external apps. You can ask the agent to visit a website or perform a Google search.

Screen Shot 2025-06-05 at 9.38.42 AM.png

Add a default tool

  1. Visit agents.zapier.com.
  2. From the Zapier Agents home, select your agent.
  3. In the Instructions field, click Insert tools.
  4. Select one of the default tools:
    • Visit website
    • Google search

Visit website

This tool allows the agent to visit a given URL and collect information from it.

miscEye icon Note

The agent cannot log in to websites.

Google search

The agent can search Google for a given search term and retrieve the results it found. 

Using default tools

Once you add a default tool, it will appear as a text pill in the Instructions field. Move them to any spot in the Instructions field to provide better context to the agent. You can also:

  • Delete it using Del or Backspace on your keyboard.
  • Click and drag to move it to another part of the field. 

Provide feedback and get help

Submit a feature request, provide feedback on existing features, or get help from the Zapier Agents team. You can also discuss Agents with other users on Zapier's Early Access Program Slack.
