An agent without tools is just a chatbot. Tools are what let agents act in the world — search, compute, read, write, communicate.

Common Agent Tools

  • Web search: Find current information (Tavily, Brave Search API)
  • Code execution: Run Python in a sandbox
  • File system: Read and write files
  • Web browser: Navigate and interact with websites
  • Email/calendar: Send messages, schedule meetings
  • Database: Query and update records
  • APIs: Any external service with an API

Tool Design Principle

Each tool needs a clear name, description, and parameter schema. The LLM reads the description to decide when and how to use each tool.
