- By default, global tool servers are not activated — each one must be toggled ON explicitly before becoming available.

- Once enabled, global tool servers are accessible by all users (or can be limited based on role-based access features).

This is ideal for team setups or shared environments, where commonly-used tools (e.g. document search, memory, or web lookup) should be centrally accessible by multiple users.

### 🛠️ Global Tool Servers Look Different — And Are Hidden by Default!
|
||||
|
||||
If you've connected a Global Tool Server (i.e., one that’s admin-configured), it will not appear automatically in the input area like user tool servers do.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead:
|
||||
|
||||
- Global tools are hidden by default and must be explicitly activated per user.
|
||||
- To enable them, you'll need to click on the ➕ button in the message input area (bottom left of the chat box), and manually toggle on the specific global tool(s) you want to use.
|
||||
|
||||
Here’s what that looks like:

⚠️ Important Notes for Global Tool Servers:
|
||||
|
||||
- They will not show up in the tool indicator popup until enabled from the ➕ menu.
|
||||
- Each global tool must be individually toggled on to become active inside your current chat.
|
||||
- Once toggled on, they function the same way as user tools.
|
||||
- Admins can control access to global tools via role-based permissions.
|
||||
|
||||
This is ideal for team setups or shared environments, where commonly-used tools (e.g. document search, memory, or web lookup) should be centrally accessible by multiple users.
