Primary Model
The model every reply goes through. Available models fall into two kinds, and the panel changes depending on which you pick.Temperature
0 to 2, default 0.5. Low is precise and repeatable; high is more varied. For support and sales agents that must stay on-message, stay at or below 0.7.
Reasoning Effort
low / medium / high (and xhigh on gpt-5.2-chat), default medium. Higher effort handles more complex logic but is slower and costs more — and on a chat channel, slower is visible to the customer as a longer wait.
Secondary Model
A required backup, defaulting togpt-5.4-nano.
The secondary is used only when the primary errors — a timeout, a 5xx, or a rate limit. It is not a quality fallback: a primary that replies badly is still the reply the customer gets.
Max Function Rounds
0 to 6, default 3.
How many rounds the agent may spend calling functions before it must reply. The reply itself is always one additional round.
Each round is another model call, so higher values mean slower replies and higher cost. Raise it only if you can see the agent running out of rounds mid-task.
