Effort defines how much computational reasoning an Agent invests before producing an answer.
It can be interpreted as the number of internal reasoning “steps” performed per message.
  • Low Effort: fast, lightweight responses
  • Medium Effort: moderate contextual analysis
  • High Effort: deeper reasoning, multi-step orchestration, and better handling of complex logic
The higher the Effort, the more credit or API cost may be consumed, since additional iterations are executed internally.
