Plan Mode

Plan Mode turns your agent into a planner. Instead of answering in a single pass, the agent writes a task checklist, then works through it one task at a time — updating each task’s status as it goes until every task is resolved. Use it for multi-step work: research-and-report, “do X then Y then Z”, tool-heavy jobs, or any request where you want the agent to organize the work before doing it.

​

Enabling Plan Mode

In the Profile step, find the Plan Mode block and turn on Enable Plan Mode. Plan Mode works with or without tools:

• With MCP servers or Agent-to-Agent — the agent plans, then calls tools task by task.
• Standalone (no tools) — the agent still plans and tracks a complex, multi-step answer using only its own reasoning.

​

Require all tasks completed

Under the toggle, Require all tasks completed before finishing controls how strict the plan is:

​

Task statuses

As the agent works, each task carries one of four statuses:

​

Execution limits

When Plan Mode is on, the Execution limits (max steps, max concurrent tools) also apply — Max steps bounds how many iterations the plan loop can run before the agent stops, even without external tools configured.

​

When to use Plan Mode

• The request is multi-step and benefits from being organized up front.
• You want visibility into how the agent is breaking down and progressing through the work.
• You need the agent to finish everything it set out to do (pair with Require all tasks completed).
