Resources in XTM One
Knowledge Base Pages in XTM One
Resources is the working area for the reusable building blocks behind agents and conversations. If agents are the assistants, resources are the things those assistants rely on.

What belongs in Resources
The left navigation groups these pages together:
- Knowledge
- Prompts
- Skills
- MCP Servers
- Tools
- Variables
- Integrations
You usually come here when you are preparing an agent, improving an existing setup, or checking how a workflow gets its data and actions.
Knowledge
Knowledge bases store documents and indexed content that agents can search.
Use the Knowledge list page
The Knowledge list helps you:
- search knowledge bases
- filter by visibility
- filter by tags
- create a new knowledge base
Each card shows the name, description, document count, chunk count, and whether the knowledge base is system-managed, company-managed, or shared.
Use a knowledge base detail page
A knowledge base detail page is usually organized into:
OverviewDocumentsImport SourcesConfigurationActivity
System-managed knowledge bases can hide Import Sources.
The most important knowledge base actions
The header can include:
Test SearchRe-embed- delete
Test Search lets you check how the knowledge base responds before attaching it to an agent. Re-embed rebuilds the searchable index when content changes significantly.
Documents and import sources
Use Documents when you want to upload files or review what is already stored.
Use Import Sources when you want XTM One to keep content in sync from external locations such as:
- websites
- Notion
- OneDrive or SharePoint
- Google Drive
- GitHub repositories
- other supported content sources in your deployment
Each source can have its own sync status, schedule, and enable or disable control.
Prompts
Prompts are reusable text instructions.
Use them when you want consistent wording in:
- chat requests
- agent behavior
- recurring workflows
Use the Prompts page
The Prompts list page supports:
- search
- visibility filtering
- tag filtering
Add Prompt
Each prompt card shows the name, description, and a short content preview.
Prompt detail page
Each prompt uses a simple structure:
OverviewConfigurationActivity
You usually use Overview to read the prompt and Configuration to edit the content when you have permission.
Skills
Skills are reusable instruction sets that can be attached to agents.
You can think of a skill as a packaged behavior or method that can be reused across assistants.
Use the Skills page
The Skills list page supports:
- search
- visibility filtering
- tag filtering
Add Skill
Cards show whether a skill is enabled, whether it comes from a URL or direct content, and whether it is shared or company-managed.
Skill detail page
Skill detail pages use the same main structure:
OverviewConfigurationActivity
If a skill is URL-based, the header can also show Refresh so the latest version can be fetched again.
MCP Servers
MCP servers expose external tools to XTM One in a controlled way.
Use them when agents need access to external capabilities such as search, data lookups, or system actions provided through MCP.
Use the MCP Servers page
The list page supports:
- search
- visibility filtering
- tag filtering
Add Server
Cards show:
- the server name
- the transport type
- enabled or disabled state
- OAuth status when applicable
- whether environment values are required
MCP server detail page
Each server detail page includes:
OverviewConfigurationActivity
The header can include Test Connection and delete actions.
In Configuration, you can usually:
- review transport details
- inspect discovered tools
- refresh tool discovery
- test an individual tool
- manage OAuth connection status for the server
Tools
The Tools page covers actions agents can use directly.
In standard XTM One deployments, this page is mainly about built-in tools. Some other deployments also show custom tools.
Built-in tools
Built-in tools are platform-provided capabilities such as:
- image generation
- code interpreter
- web fetch
- browser automation
- the platform management tool for XTM One itself
These tools usually have their own detail pages so you can understand what each one is meant to do.
Custom tools
If custom tools are enabled in your deployment, they appear on the same page with:
- search
- visibility filtering
- tag filtering
- tool cards showing language, timeout, and parameter count
Custom tool detail pages typically include:
OverviewConfigurationActivity
They can also expose Test Tool, which is useful before attaching them to an agent.
Variables
Variables store reusable values that can be inserted into prompts, personas, skills, and tools.
This is a single management page rather than a list-plus-detail flow.
From the Variables page you can:
- search variables
- filter by tags
- create a variable
- edit a variable in a dialog
- delete a variable
- copy its reference for reuse
Some variables are marked as Secret. Those values are hidden by default and can be revealed only when needed.
The reference copied from the UI uses the variable's internal ID, so it can be inserted accurately elsewhere in the platform.
Integrations
Integrations connect XTM One to external services.
Use them when agents need live access to systems such as:
- ticketing
- messaging
- cloud document systems
- other business applications
Use the Integrations list page
The list page supports:
- search
- visibility filtering
- tag filtering
- category filtering
New Integration
Cards show the connection status, provider, authentication readiness, and sharing state.
Integration detail page
Each integration detail page includes:
OverviewConfigurationActivity
The header can include:
Test ConnectionAuthorizeorRe-authorize- a provider setup guide
- delete
Overview helps you see which agents and knowledge bases use the integration. Configuration is where connection details, credentials, and provider-specific options are reviewed.
How the resource types work together
In a typical workflow:
- an integration connects to the outside system
- a knowledge base provides trusted context
- a prompt or skill shapes the behavior
- a tool performs an action
- a variable avoids repeating key values
This is why Resources matters so much. It is the place where assistants become usable and consistent.
