Tools give your agent capabilities beyond the conversation flow: search, math, custom logic, and API-backed actions. There are three types.

Types of tools

Function nodes

Built in the agent editor. Every function node in a conversation graph becomes a tool automatically. Preview what the agent sees in the editor.

System tools

Provided by the system and activated per agent—e.g. search the web, math, current time. Turn them on when you need them.

Client-defined tools

Custom tools you define and expose. Only accessible through the API; use them when you control the client or integration.
