Custom Actions

ASSIST AI provides flexible options for configuring custom Actions and their authentication. Admins can choose between:
  • Shared authentication — all users access Actions under a single set of credentials
  • Per-user authentication — each user completes their own auth flow, respecting individual permissions
Both token-based authentication and OAuth are supported.

Actions Button

In the Chat input bar, Actions are grouped by their registered MCP server or OpenAPI schema. Users can freely toggle Actions on or off at any time, controlling what the Agent has access to during a session.
