Disable Agents

Disable agents to archive them without deleting, and re-enable them at any time.

Agent management features are available to workspace administrators.

Disabling an agent archives it without permanently deleting it. Disabled agents cannot be used but can be re-enabled at any time.

When to Disable vs Delete

Action	Use When
Disable	You want to temporarily remove an agent from use, the agent may be needed again in the future, you want to preserve the agent’s configuration and history
Delete	The agent is no longer needed at all, you want to permanently remove all associated data, the agent was created in error

Deleting an agent is permanent and cannot be undone. Disable agents first if you’re unsure whether they’ll be needed in the future.

How to Disable an Agent

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

Agents can also be disabled through Governance. When Governance disables an agent, its owners and editors receive an inbox notification with the reason.

How to Re-enable an Agent

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