What Are Tools?

Tools let agents take actions: things like fetching data, running code, searching the web, and executing custom logic.

How are tools used?

Tools are provided to your agent as available capabilities. Based on the agent's instructions and the initial input, the agent decides which tools to use and when to use them. Each tool includes a description field that helps the agent understand what the tool does and when it might be appropriate to invoke it.

Tool	Best for	Key Capabilities	Common use cases

WebSearch	Real-time information	Live web data, current events	Research, fact-checking, trend analysis
