Each flow can produce outputs that can be consumed by other flows. This is a list property, so that your flow can produce as many outputs as you need.
Each output needs to have an ID (the name of the output), a type (the same types you know from inputs, e.g., STRING, URI, or JSON), and a value, which is the actual output value that will be stored in internal storage and passed to other flows when needed.

Log LLM requests
If true, prompts and configuration sent to the LLM will be logged at INFO level.
Log LLM responses
If true, raw responses from the LLM will be logged at INFO level.
Maximum number of tokens the model can generate in the completion (response). This limits the length of the output.
Response format
Defines the expected output format. Default is plain text.
Some providers allow requesting JSON or schema-constrained outputs, but support varies and may be incompatible with tool use.
When using a JSON schema, the output will be returned under the key jsonOutput.
io.kestra.plugin.ai.domain.ChatConfiguration-ResponseFormat
JSON Schema (used when type = JSON)
Provide a JSON Schema describing the expected structure of the response. In Kestra flows, define the schema in YAML (it is still a JSON Schema object). Example (YAML):
responseFormat:
type: JSON
jsonSchema:
type: object
required: ["category", "priority"]
properties:
category:
type: string
enum: ["ACCOUNT", "BILLING", "TECHNICAL", "GENERAL"]
priority:
type: string
enum: ["LOW", "MEDIUM", "HIGH"]
Note: Provider support for strict schema enforcement varies. If unsupported, guide the model about the expected output structure via the prompt and validate downstream.
Schema description (optional)
Natural-language description of the schema to help the model produce the right fields. Example: "Classify a customer ticket into category and priority."
TEXTTEXTJSONResponse format type
Specifies how the LLM should return output. Allowed values:
- TEXT (default): free-form natural language.
- JSON: structured output validated against a JSON Schema.
Return Thinking
Controls whether to return the model's internal reasoning or 'thinking' text, if available. When enabled, the reasoning content is extracted from the response and made available in the AiMessage object. It Does not trigger the thinking process itself—only affects whether the output is parsed and returned.
Seed
Optional random seed for reproducibility. Provide a positive integer (e.g., 42, 1234). Using the same seed with identical settings produces repeatable outputs.
Temperature
Controls randomness in generation. Typical range is 0.0–1.0. Lower values (e.g., 0.2) make outputs more focused and deterministic, while higher values (e.g., 0.7–1.0) increase creativity and variability.
Thinking Token Budget
Specifies the maximum number of tokens allocated as a budget for internal reasoning processes, such as generating intermediate thoughts or chain-of-thought sequences, allowing the model to perform multi-step reasoning before producing the final output.
Enable Thinking
Enables internal reasoning ('thinking') in supported language models, allowing the model to perform intermediate reasoning steps before producing a final output; this is useful for complex tasks like multi-step problem solving or decision making, but may increase token usage and response time, and is only applicable to compatible models.
Top-K
Limits sampling to the top K most likely tokens at each step. Typical values are between 20 and 100. Smaller values reduce randomness; larger values allow more diverse outputs.
Top-P (nucleus sampling)
Selects from the smallest set of tokens whose cumulative probability is ≤ topP. Typical values are 0.8–0.95. Lower values make the output more focused, higher values increase diversity.
Optional JDBC driver class name – automatically resolved if not provided.

Description of the flow if not already provided inside the flow itself
Use it only if you define the flow in the tool definition. The LLM needs a tool description to identify whether to call it. If the flow has a description, the tool will use it. Otherwise, the description property must be explicitly defined.
Flow ID of the flow that should be called
falseWhether the flow should inherit labels from this execution that triggered it
By default, labels are not inherited. If you set this option to true, the flow execution will inherit all labels from the agent's execution.
Any labels passed by the LLM will override those defined here.
Input values that should be passed to flow's execution
Any inputs passed by the LLM will override those defined here.

Any labels passed by the LLM will override those defined here.
