 7   - [Using your own API keys](./llm-providers.md), which do not require the above
 8   - Using [external agents like Claude Agent](./external-agents.md), which also do not require the above
 92. [Model parameters and usage](./agent-settings.md#model-settings)
103. [Interactions with the Agent Panel](./agent-settings.md#agent-panel-settings)
