# Standard Connectors

Standard Connectors are native tools that can be enabled directly in the agent configuration.

They allow the agent to perform simple and useful actions during a conversation, such as checking the current date, reading a web page, analyzing files uploaded by the user, or searching for updated information on the web.

To enable a standard connector, access the agent configuration and select the connectors you want to make available.

## Available connectors

Power Omni currently provides the following standard connectors:

Date and Time

URL Reader

File Handler

Web Search

Each connector adds a specific capability to the agent. Ideally, you should only enable the connectors that make sense for that agent’s purpose.

## When should I enable each connector?

Use Date and Time when the agent needs to work with dates, deadlines, due dates, or simple time calculations.

Use URL Reader when the agent needs to analyze a page provided by the user.

Use File Handler when the agent needs to work with files, spreadsheets, documents, charts, or data analysis.

Use Web Search when the agent needs to search for current information on the internet.

## Best practices

Enable only the connectors required for the agent’s purpose.

Avoid enabling Web Search for agents that handle confidential information, unless this has been internally validated.

Use File Handler for analyses involving files uploaded by the user, especially spreadsheets, reports, and datasets.

Test the agent after enabling any connector by asking real questions from the team’s day-to-day operation.
