# Actions

> Configure what your agent can do

Actions are capabilities you enable for your agent. Go to the [Actions](https://dashboard.argide.ai/dashboard/tools/openapi) page in your dashboard to manage them.

## Types

| Type          | Source            | Example                          |
| ------------- | ----------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **API Tools** | Your OpenAPI spec | `getOrderStatus`, `createTicket` |

## Enabling Actions

1. **API Tools** — Check/uncheck individual endpoints from your OpenAPI spec

## How the Agent Decides

The agent automatically chooses tools based on:

* The user's question
* Tool names and descriptions
* Required parameters

<Tip>
  Good tool descriptions lead to better tool selection.
</Tip>

## Best Practices

* **Start small** — Enable only what's needed, expand later
* **Clear descriptions** — Help the agent understand when to use each tool
