ClickUp AI toolsets for Agents
Toolsets are curated packs of tools designed to give Agents the necessary capabilities for specific use cases. Think of them as starter kits for common workflows like managing tasks or creating new items.
Instead of manually selecting every tool, you can add a toolset to your Agent, enabling a full set of related actions.
Each tool in a toolset can also be used on its own, so you’re never locked in. You can mix and match toolsets and individual tools as needed.
These are the available toolsets and the individual tools included in them:
| Toolset | Toolset description | Included tools |
| Docs |
Create Docs, edit Docs, and add pages to Doc. If your Workspace uses custom role permissions, members must have the Create Views permission enabled in order for Super Agents to successfully create Docs. |
