Specifying a local agent model

[Andreas3333]

I know agent features are in development. But is it possible to specify a local agent model in Environments? There doesn't seem to be an "agent" key in the current Environment extension configuration schema. The current Agent button on the Llama Agent page only provides 1) "lama-vscode help" 2) "default" or 3) "Last used agent" options. For me selecting "llama-vscode help" displays a "Agent llama-vscode help is selected." VSCode info message but does not start a llama-server process and running a prompt returns "No response from AI" in Llama Agent.

Also, selecting of the default environments, for example "Local, full package - medium, gpt-oss 20B (> 34 GB VRAM | HD: 20 GB)" does not include a Agent model:

I suppose that is expected given there isn't a one specified in these Environments, but it would be great if we could specify one.

@Andreas3333 Shortly yes, it is possible to specify a local model for the agent - the tools model will be used for all agents. The example, which you've shown will select an env with local model for the agent.

More detailed explanation:
For now selecting agent determines the system prompt and tools, but not model. The selected tools model is used by the agent. This will change soon and the agent will include model (and if available will have priority over tools model in the env).
Yes, by default there are only two agents llama-vscode help (something like a help for the extension) and the default (but you could add more in setting agents_list). For selecting/changing model for the agent use the button "Tools Model".
In your case you could directly start using the agent after the env is selected (with tools model).
Just for information - for the agent only Tools Model is obligatory (if you don't have much VRAM this could be useful). Chat and Embeddings models are optional and are needed for search_source tool, but the other tools will work without them.

If you want, you cold create your own env with an agent - llama-vscode menu (Ctrl+Shift+M), select Envs... -> Add Env... , after that select the models and agent you want, and add the the env with button "Save As New Env".

Thanks for the response. I was able to select different agent models using the current tools interface. Is there an issue tracking the development of selecting agent models and tools models individually for environments?
