# Agent Actions

<Aside type="note">The functionality described on this page is only available to customers who have licensed Veeva AI.</Aside>
Agent actions are the actions users can execute with Veeva AI, such as *Summarize Document* and *Translate Record*. The actions available to each agent are part of the agent definition. Learn more about [agents](https://platform.veevavault.help/en/gr/950644) and [agent actions in Vault Help](https://platform.veevavault.help/en/gr/950644/#configure-agent-action).

Users can execute actions in the Vault UI through Veeva AI Chat, or programmatically through [Vault API or Vault Java SDK](/ai-agents/agent-actions/how-to-execute/). When executed, agents perform the action based on their provided agent objective, agent context, instructions, and any associated [agent tools](/ai-agents/agent-tools).
