Retool Agents

What it does

Retool Agents take in a prompt, a chosen LLM, written instructions, and access to existing resources such as saved queries, workflows, MCP servers or other agents, plus custom agent-specific tools. They produce AI-powered workers that complete multi-step tasks, make decisions and automate workflows, with each action logged in an audit trail.

Teams use agents for repetitive, multi-step work such as meeting follow-up and ticket assignment, calendar scheduling, chargeback review and exception checks. Agents run inside Retool's governed platform, so you can watch an agent step by step in real time, track costs and performance, run built-in evals, and control agent and tool access with role-based access control.

Retool Agents suit teams building internal automation that needs production controls, such as developers, analysts and operations staff. Access requires a Retool account. The Free plan includes up to 20 agent hours per month, with additional capacity on Team, Business or Enterprise plans. Agent runtime is billed hourly by model.

What it can do

• Create agents from a short prompt or template, choosing an LLM and writing instructions
• Give agents access to saved queries, workflows, MCP servers and other agents
• Build agent-specific tools governed by the platform's security rules
• Monitor agents in real time, step by step, as they act on behalf of a user
• Track costs and performance and fine-tune with built-in evals
• Control agent and tool access with role-based access control (RBAC) on Business and Enterprise plans

Works with

• MCP servers
• Saved queries and workflows in Retool
• Other Retool agents

Example workflows

Meeting action-item triage

Inputs: meeting context and attendee information. Steps: the agent reads the meeting, sorts action items and assigns tickets. Output: assigned tickets and an audit trail of actions taken.

Chargeback review

Inputs: incoming chargeback records and data from internal systems. Steps: the agent pulls related data, checks it against rules, flags exceptions and drafts a rebuttal. Output: a rebuttal ready for submission with an audit trail.

Before you choose

• Agent runtime is billed hourly, and rates vary by model; check the rate table in the Retool docs before committing.
• Free agent hours are limited to 20 per month and execution pauses when they run out; additional capacity requires Team, Business or Enterprise plans.
• Bring-your-own API key on Enterprise routes AI calls outside the credit pool, but you then pay your model provider directly.
