Think
Give the agent a scratchpad to reason through a problem step by step.
What it does
Section titled “What it does”Provides a “think” tool the agent can call with its reasoning as input; the reasoning text is simply returned unchanged. It is a simple, read-only scratchpad tool with no side effects and no approval gate.
When to use it
Section titled “When to use it”Connect this to Tools Agent nodes when you want the agent to explicitly reason through a problem step by step before acting, which can improve reliability on multi-step tasks.
Inputs and settings
Section titled “Inputs and settings”This node has no editable settings.
Outputs
Section titled “Outputs”Returns a tool dependency named think that agent nodes can call. Calling it with a thought string returns that same string unchanged, giving the agent a scratchpad for step-by-step reasoning.
Dependencies and credentials
Section titled “Dependencies and credentials”- No explicit credential or node dependency is declared in the node description.
Example workflow
Section titled “Example workflow”Connect Think to a Tools Agent’s tools input alongside other tools. During complex or multi-step tasks, the agent can call the think tool to lay out its reasoning before deciding which tool to call next.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”- Check that required settings are present before running the node.
- If the node uses browser page data, run it on the target tab after the page has loaded.
- If it calls an external service, verify credentials, permissions, and rate limits.
- No dedicated source test was found next to this node; verify behavior manually when changing this page.
