+## Agent chat mode
+
+Select **Agent** (instead of Chat) under the composer in the web app. Your
+free-form prompt is handed to a [smolagents](https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents)
+agent running on your local MLX/Ollama model. The agent can call tools (v1:
+`http_request`) and streams its thinking steps + final answer directly into the
+chat thread.
+
+Requires smolagents in the worker's Python environment:
+
+```sh
+pip install smolagents certifi
+```
+
+- `certifi` supplies a trusted CA bundle so the agent's `http_request` tool can
+  verify HTTPS certificates on macOS (where Python's default bundle may be
+  missing). The worker falls back to the system bundle if certifi is absent.
+- Agent mode is blocked for cloud models (the API returns 400). Select a local
+  MLX or Ollama model first.
+- Tool steps appear in the collapsible reasoning (`<think>`) area; the final
+  answer is the message body — no new UI needed.
+
+The agent script is `gonext_agent_chat.py` (reads `{messages, agentBaseURL,
+agentApiKey, agentModelId, tools, maxSteps}` on stdin; emits NDJSON
+`{"type":"step"/"final","text":"..."}` lines on stdout).

   The agent talks to your local MLX OpenAI-compatible server (no cloud calls).
   The agent only summarizes; the worker's measurement stays the source of truth,
   so if smolagents or the model is unavailable the probe still returns the
   measured result with a note.
