# Data Agent modes

For the Data Agent, the default mode is Agent mode, where you provide prompts to the Agent and the Agent asks questions to clarify and confirm its actions. Your Data Agent [verbosity and autonomy settings](/fabricate/data-agent-chat/data-agent-behavior-config.md#data-agent-verbosity) determine how much clarification and confirmation the Data Agent provides.

Fabricate also supports:

* Plan mode, where the Data Agent sets up a plan to complete an action. You then review and execute the plan.
* Autonomous mode, where the Data Agent plans and executes the action without any clarification or prompts or use of Plan mode.
