In the Ray Design Agents documentation the Ray Perception parameter Ray Layer Mask is not mentioned. I am a bit confused about what does it do and if it interacts with the Detectable Tags parameter.

Thank you for pointing this out. We will clarify this parameter in the documentation.

In Unity, you can associate each object with a 'layer'. The layer mask in the ray perception script enables you to use raycasts that ignore certain layers i.e. if you want to have ray casts that only detect a ball and you want to prevent the raycasts from being obstructed by other agents.
