IDE Run Configurations

IDE Run Configurations

The agent can find and run project configurations — tests, builds, applications — through the IDE.

Get Configuration​

The tool allows the agent to get a list of available configurations for a file, package, or the entire project (including Gradle/Maven tasks and custom configurations).

Run Configuration​

The tool runs the selected configuration and returns the result to the agent — console output, test results, compilation errors.

Advantages Over the Terminal​

This is more efficient than building or running a project via the terminal, which is what all AI tools rely on:

  • it saves token consumption (the model receives a structured run result);
  • it uses the SDK configured in the project.

Supported IDEs​

  • Java-based IDEs (IDEA, Android Studio, etc.)
  • PyCharm

When It's Useful​

  • You ask the agent to write code and want it to run the tests itself to make sure everything works.
  • You need to build the project and analyze build errors without switching to the terminal.
