Retool Agents

Retool Agents

Turn your APIs & data into tools AI workers can actually use

Overview

What it is

The first enterprise AppGen platform that turns natural language into production-ready internal apps—built on your live data and deployed in your environment. Secure from day one.

Intent

I need it when

Build custom AI agents with access to proprietary business tools and data sources

Retool Agents allow users to create hyperspecific tools integrated into core business systems. Agents can leverage saved queries, workflows, MCP servers, and custom-built resources—enabling deep automation of domain-specific work that generic AI tools cannot perform.

Deploy AI-powered automation without rebuilding infrastructure or compromising security

Retool Agents integrate directly into the Retool platform, which provides built-in SSO, RBAC, audit logging, and enterprise security from day one. Users can deploy agents to cloud or self-hosted environments without separate security configuration, and agents inherit organization-wide governance policies automatically.

Automate repetitive knowledge work and business processes to reduce manual labor hours

Retool Agents enable users to build autonomous AI agents that execute complex, multi-step workflows across internal systems. Agents can access databases, APIs, and custom tools to perform tasks like meeting management, fraud detection, and logistics optimization—reducing manual work by hundreds of hours while maintaining governance and observability.

Monitor and control AI agent behavior in real time to ensure reliability and cost efficiency

Retool Agents include real-time monitoring, observability tools, and evaluation capabilities. Users can watch agents execute tasks, track costs by model capability, fine-tune performance with built-in evals, and adjust agent parameters—enabling confidence in production AI automation.

Scale AI automation across teams without requiring specialized AI engineering expertise

Retool Agents can be assembled from templates or built with simple prompts, then deployed across the organization. The platform abstracts AI complexity while providing professional developers with full expressive control, enabling both business teams and engineers to build and manage agents.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • Organization requires fixed, predictable monthly costs with no hourly variable billing
  • Use case involves simple, one-off tasks that don't justify agent infrastructure setup and monitoring overhead
  • Team lacks access to internal databases, APIs, or data sources that agents need to perform meaningful work
  • Compliance requirements prohibit cloud-based AI model execution or require complete data residency control
  • Organization needs agents without any platform governance, RBAC, or audit logging requirements

Pricing

Hourly pay-per-use model. Agents are billed separately from the main Retool platform. Pricing varies by AI model capability. Free tier includes up to 20 hours/month of agent usage. View pricing
