Graph Settings
While individual nodes control specific steps, the Graph Settings panel governs the behavior of your entire agent graph. This is where you define the global identity, safety limits, and constitution of your workflow.
To access these settings, click the Gear Icon located in the top-right corner of the canvas.
Global vs. Local Configuration
Settings configured here apply to the entire workflow, unlike node-specific settings which only affect individual components.
Core Configuration
The settings modal provides three critical controls for your graph's execution.
1. Graph Name
The internal identifier for your project.
Description: This name appears in your dashboard and helps you manage multiple agents. Keep it descriptive to easily identify workflows at a glance.
Example:
"Sales Outreach Agent v2" or "Customer Support Bot - Production"
Best For: Organizing and distinguishing between multiple agent projects in your workspace.
2. Recursion Limit
A safety mechanism to prevent infinite loops.
Description: Flow is built on a cyclic graph architecture, meaning agents can loop back and repeat tasks. The Recursion Limit defines the maximum number of steps allowed in a single run.
Configuration:
- Default:
32steps - Range: Adjustable based on workflow complexity
Best For: Preventing runaway scenarios where an agent loops indefinitely. Increase this value only for highly complex, multi-agent research tasks.
3. System Instructions
The "constitution" that governs all AI nodes in your workflow.
Description: This text is automatically prepended to the system prompt of every AI Agent and Supervisor node. Unlike node-specific instructions, these rules apply universally across the entire graph.
Example:
"Always respond in JSON format. Never reveal sensitive user data. Maintain a professional and helpful tone at all times."
Best For: Enforcing universal behavioral rules, output formatting requirements, or compliance policies across all agents.
Quick Actions
The settings panel also provides shortcuts to administrative tools.
Manage Tool Credentials
A focused credential manager for the current active graph.
Description: Unlike the global "Manage Credentials" page in the left sidebar, this panel only displays tools used in your current workflow. It scans every tool node on your canvas and groups them by service type.
Key Feature: Bulk Application
This is designed for rapid authentication across multiple nodes. Instead of clicking "Auth" on each node individually, you can open this panel and click Apply Same Credential to authorize every tool of that type with a single account.
Best For: Quickly setting up workflows that use many tools from the same service. For example, authorizing all Gmail nodes at once instead of configuring each one separately.
Save as Template
Package your current graph into a reusable template. This includes all logic, tools, and prompts, making it easy to share with your team or the community.
