Tool availability
Turn whole Endless tools, including chat, on or off for the workspace, a team or one person, and see what members get when a tool is off.
Settings → Governance → Tools turns whole tools on or off for the workspace, a team or one person. Use it when a group shouldn't use a tool at all. To limit only which models a tool can run, use Model availability.
Opening the page needs View workspace activity and governance; changing it needs Change workspace governance settings. Without the second, the page is read-only. See Roles and permissions.
Turn a tool off
- Pick a Scope: Workspace, a Team, or a Person.
- Switch the tool off.
"Reset" clears the rules set at the scope you're viewing. To find out why a teammate is missing a tool, set the scope to that person: their row says whether it's off for them, their team or the whole workspace.
The tools
| Tool | What turning it off removes |
|---|---|
| Chat | Asking the assistant, in chats and projects |
| Assets | The Library: saving, browsing and reusing uploads and outputs |
| Scheduled tasks | Tasks that run automatically on a schedule |
| Projects | Projects, and the shared knowledge that comes with them |
| Transcripts | Turning recordings, podcasts and links into searchable text |
| Canvas | The infinite canvas |
| Image generation | The Image surface |
| Video generation | The Video surface |
| Radar | Tracking social accounts, trends and mentions |
| Model picker | Choosing which model powers each chat, rather than the default |
| Skills | Reusable instructions the assistant can load, and the skills screen |
- Scheduled tasks need Chat. With Chat off, the Scheduled tasks row shows "Requires Chat. Turn it on first." Scheduled tasks stop running and resume when Chat is back on.
- Chat off also removes the home screen. The person lands on the Library, or on the first media tool they still have.
- Skills off removes the workspace's library skills from the assistant, and they can't be created or edited. A project's own skills still load in that project's chats. Which individual skills the workspace offers is set in Settings → Governance → Skills; see Skills.
Rules
- Restrictions only subtract. A tool turned off for the workspace stays off for every team and person, and the row says which level turned it off. To give a tool to one team only, leave it on for the workspace and turn it off for the other teams.
- The workspace level can't add a tool your plan doesn't include.
- A tool that is off is hidden (no menu entry, no page), and its actions are refused, so a saved link doesn't open it either.
- Turning a tool off deletes nothing. Turn it back on and the content is where it was.
- Members can turn tools off for themselves on the Features tab of their own profile in Settings → Members. They can't turn on a tool the workspace, their team or an admin turned off; the row then reads "An admin turned this off for you." or names the level.
- Endless releases some capabilities workspace by workspace. Those aren't on this page and you can't switch them on.
