What is Zed Agent?

Zed Agent is the native agent path inside the Zed editor for reading and editing projects, running terminal commands, and using configured tools.

Zed's official documentation describes a native coding Agent that runs in the Agent Panel and Threads Sidebar, can inspect and edit project files, execute terminal commands, use MCP tools, and follow configured profiles and permissions. Zed supports free bring-your-own-key access and paid hosted-model plans. Evaluate model access, tool permissions, terminal approval, data controls and review workflow before adoption.
