Tools & agentic behavior
For questions that need outside data, IsonAI works agentically: it picks a tool, runs it, reads the results, then decides the next step (over several rounds if needed) before composing the answer.
Available tools
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Web search | Finding current facts across search engines and Ison Search |
| Page reading | Opening URLs (from search results or ones you paste) and reading their contents |
| Knowledge search | The official IsonAI product knowledge base |
| Stock prices | Current market data, IDX and global |
| Local places | Curated Indonesian places and business data |
| Academic search | Journals and scholarly articles across many sources |
| Indonesian public services | Live official data from BPS, Bank Indonesia, the Ministry of Finance, BMKG, MAGMA (Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources), Jakarta Posko Banjir, the Ministry of Religious Affairs, and KBBI, marked with an Official data card; government-portal guidance: see Public services |
| Document editing | Doc Edit for attached PDFs |
| Google connectors | Calendar, Gmail, and Drive: only after you connect them; see Connected services |
| MCP connectors | A reviewed read-only catalog; initial release: Ison Search Indonesia for Pro/admin |
While tools run, progress lines in the interface show what is being searched and read; the process is never fully hidden.
Sources for coding and shopping
Omni and PRME can find questions and answers from Stack Overflow for coding questions and include references. Community scores and accepted answers help selection; compatibility with the software version still needs checking. LYT uses internal search.
To find where to buy a product, IsonAI can open product searches on Tokopedia, and AliExpress or eBay when requested, when imported goods are sought, or when local results are unavailable. Prices and stock follow the store page. eBay prices for delivery to Indonesia may include shipping in Rupiah; import duties and taxes are excluded. Results from other marketplaces depend on pages available through web search.
Recovery when tools fail
If a search or page read fails or returns irrelevant results, IsonAI tries another path: a different query or a different source. If the evidence remains inadequate, IsonAI states its limitations instead of making things up.
Consent boundaries (authority)
- Google connectors only activate after you grant permission through the official Google sign-in flow, and can be disconnected at any time from Settings.
- The Google connection is used to read data. Chat does not perform Google write actions: it does not send email, create or change Calendar events, or change Drive files.
- Payments, signatures, and official submissions are not executed.
- MCP is read-only, opt-in, and limited to a reviewed catalog in this phase; arbitrary server URLs and write tools are rejected.
Privacy protections in tool use
Personalized tool use is protected by the following principles, enforced server-side:
- Personal data from your memory and history is never sent out through search queries or requests to external sites. Only what you write in the current message becomes search material.
- Web content and document contents are treated as data to analyze; instructions embedded in web pages or files are not followed as commands.
- Links that appear in answers are restricted to sources that were actually used and come from legitimate places.
The above is a behavioral contract, not a technical specification; the internal mechanisms are not published.
Limits
- The number of tool rounds per answer is capped to keep responses reasonable; genuinely broad research is better suited to Deep Research.
- The initial MCP catalog contains only Ison Search Indonesia; general third-party connectors are not open yet.
