Configure a Reasoning Endpoint

An External Connection can use an optional Reasoning Endpoint URL in addition to its required Endpoint URL.

1. Edit the External Connection in /ai-agents-assistants.
2. Enter the approved reasoning service address in Reasoning Endpoint URL.
3. Save and start a test conversation.
4. Confirm that progress text appears while the final endpoint prepares its answer.
5. Test an unavailable or slow reasoning service and verify that the final answer path remains understandable.

Reasoning text is shown to users, so the endpoint must not return secrets, internal instructions, credentials, or unreviewed debugging data. Remove the optional URL when the service should no longer be exposed.
