Disable Agents

Disable agents to take them out of use without deleting, and re-enable them at any time.

Agent management features are available to workspace administrators.

Disabling an agent takes it out of use without permanently deleting it. Disabled agents cannot be used but can be re-enabled at any time. Use Archive when you want unused agents out of the active list.

When to Disable vs Archive vs Delete

Action	Use When
Archive	You want an unused agent out of the active list and still able to restore it
Disable	The agent must not be used until it is fixed and approved again
Delete	The agent should be removed permanently

Deleting an agent is permanent and cannot be undone. Archive unused agents. Disable when the agent must not run.

How to Disable an Agent

Disable the agent from Governance with Disable. Owners and editors receive an inbox notification with the reason.

In dedicated deployments:

1. Go to Workspace Settings → Agents
2. Find the agent and click the ⋮ menu
3. Select Disable

Disabled agents:

• Show a Disabled indicator on their agent card
• Cannot be used in new conversations
• Preserve their configuration, knowledge, and settings
• Can be re-enabled by an admin at any time

How to Re-enable an Agent

Re-enable the agent from Governance. The editor publishes a new version first. Then approve that version with Approve.

In dedicated deployments:

1. Go to Workspace Settings → Agents
2. Filter by Disabled status to find disabled agents
3. Click the ⋮ menu on the agent and select Enable
