Adds information about agents, skills, and tools for DataMiner Assistant (along with some minor improvements to the existing Assistant documentation).
The following details from the internal documentation are not included:

  • Version details for Assistant: For "preview" versions that haven't been officially released, we can leave out version info to make sure the text doesn't get cluttered unnecessarily.
  • Agent architecture best practices: This seems to be mostly about A2A, which is not supported yet.

Initial draft version of the Assistant docs update. Some information is still missing and the structure still needs to be refined.

@SebastiaanSL, this documentation is almost ready for review; I just need the answers to a couple of questions to finish it. Could you take a look at my comments?

Is this note OK, or would you prefer that I detail how to enable the preview options? Also, if we can keep this note, is there a specific contact email address we can mention?


- **Chat input box**: Located at the bottom of the screen, this is where you type your questions. While the Assistant is working, the chat displays the tools being invoked and the reasoning steps the model performs, giving you insight into how the response is being constructed.

When you start a chat, the app automatically shares your browser's detected time zone and language with the Assistant. This lets agents determine your current local time and preferred formatting for dates, times, and numbers without any manual configuration. See [Agent context](xref:Assistant_Agents#agent-context).

I took this text from the internal documentation. However, I'm wondering: is it always the browser's time zone, or does this actually depend on the app settings?

The internal documentation did not include an additional explanation or example for this item, but it feels like it would be better to include these. If you agree, could you provide this information?
An example may also be needed for the Dropdown argument above.
