Copying or deleting a connection
Copy a tool to build a similar one quickly, for example a second request to the same software. Delete a tool your AI agents no longer need.

Copy a tool
- In the menu on the left, click Tools & Actions, then Tools.
- Point at the tool in the list, click the three-dot button that appears, then Duplicate.
- AlloMia creates and saves the copy right away, and opens it. Its name is the original name followed by
_copy. The message Tool duplicated successfully confirms it. - In Name, give the copy its own name, with letters and numbers only, for example
checkAvailabilityLaval. - Change what’s different on the other tabs, then click Save Settings.
- Test the copy, then turn it on for the AI agents that need it. See Testing a connection.
What the copy includes
- Everything on every tab: description, URL, method, timeout, retries, variables, request body, headers, credentials and messages.
- Not the AI agents: the copy is off for every agent until you turn it on.
- Not the OAuth2 token: click Get Token on the copy before you test it.
- If a variable has the Array type, check its Items setting on the copy, then save.
Delete a tool
If you might need the tool again, turn it off on each AI agent instead. See Turning actions on or off for your AI agent.
- Point at the tool in the list, click the three-dot button, then Delete.
- The Delete Tool window checks which AI agents use the tool and lists them. Deleting removes the tool from those agents.
- Click Delete to confirm, or Cancel.
Deleting can’t be undone. AI agents that used the tool can no longer do what it did: update their instructions if they mention it. Deleting doesn’t turn the credentials off in your software; do that there if nothing else uses them.
If something goes wrong
- Failed to duplicate tool or Failed to delete tool: reload the page and try again. If it happens again, write to support@allomia.com with the tool’s ID (Copy ID, in the same menu).
- The Name field shows a warning on the copy: the
_copyending has an underscore. Rename the copy with letters and numbers only. - An AI agent still talks about what a deleted tool did: remove it from the agent’s instructions. See Writing instructions for your AI agent.
