Code Optimizations (formerly Autonomy Level) is an on/off setting in Agent Tools. When on, Agent reviews its own code and simplifies future work—improving accuracy and saving costs by avoiding mistakes. When off, you get minimal or no AI code review and maximum hands-on control. Available on paid plans. We recommend turning Code Optimizations on for most projects to get better code quality and fewer costly rework cycles.

​
Usage

Access Code Optimizations through Agent’s tools interface when working on any project. The setting applies to your current conversation and affects how Agent approaches subsequent tasks.
  1. Open Agent in your project workspace
  2. Look for the Agent tools dropdown in the bottom right of the input box
  3. Locate the Code Optimizations control
  4. Turn it on or off based on your preference

​
When to use it

  • On: Recommended for most work. Agent reviews its own code, catches mistakes, and can reduce rework. Slightly longer per task but better quality.
  • Off: Use when you want the fastest, most hands-on experience—e.g. quick edits or when you prefer to review every change yourself.
