What Is Show Reasoning?
When reviewing a past conversation in Agent Designer, teams can open Show Reasoning on any agent response. It shows the context the agent considered, which knowledge sources it used, and which Actions it took, making the agent's behavior transparent and easy to debug.
Why It Matters
- Faster fixes: Teams can trace a wrong answer to its source, such as an outdated article, instead of guessing.
- Trust and governance: Clear reasoning supports review, audits, and AI governance programs.
- Better configuration: Seeing what the agent used helps teams tune Charters and knowledge.
