Overview

Tools enable agents to perform actions beyond text generation:

• Search the web

• Execute code

• Access external APIs

• Interact with your application

• Process data and files

Getting Started

• What are Tools? - Understanding agent tools

• Built-in Tools - Pre-configured tools

• Creating Custom Tools - Build your own tools

• Tool Examples - Real-world implementations

Quick Example

using Glitch9.AIDevKit.Agents;
using Glitch9.AIDevKit.Tools;

// Create agent with tools
var agent = new Agent(config, settings);

// Register a tool
var searchTool = new WebSearchTool();
agent.RegisterTool(searchTool);

// Agent automatically uses the tool when needed
await agent.SendAsync("What's the weather like?");
