Quick Mentions

Quick mentions are the fastest way to steer a Navigator response. Type @ in the composer, choose the capability you want, and Navigator sends only the selected context to the model for that turn.

What you can mention

Tools

Call built-in tools or tools exposed by connected MCP servers.

Agents

Route the next response through a specialized assistant.

Workflows

Run a published visual workflow as if it were a normal chat tool.

Presets

Reuse a curated set of tools for recurring tasks.

Mentions vs selected tools

Use a mention when a tool is needed for a single response. Use selected tools or presets when the same capability should stay available across the conversation.

Approach	Best for	Context sent to model
`@` mention	One-off tool use	Only the mentioned capability
Tool selection	Ongoing work with the same tool	The selected tool set
Preset	Repeatable bundles of tools	The preset’s configured tools

Examples

@web research the latest Model Context Protocol releases
@playwright open the staging site and check the login flow
@github_manager summarize open pull requests
@quarterly_report build the chart package from this CSV

Mentions are especially useful for keeping tool context small. Smaller tool context can make responses faster and easier for the model to route.
