Genie Agent Enhancements

Improvements and bug fixes for Genie Agent functionality.

What it does

The Genie Agent now includes agent mode thinking traces that provide definitions for the answers generated, enhancing clarity and understanding. A bug fix ensures that conversations shared via the MCP respect the default sharing settings, allowing for better compliance with user preferences. Additionally, a UI fix resolves an issue where the option to share with account users was not visible, although the functionality was already operational through the SDK and REST API.

Why it matters

These enhancements improve user experience by providing clearer insights into how answers are generated, ensuring that sharing settings align with user expectations, and enhancing the overall usability of the sharing features. This leads to increased productivity and better collaboration among users.
