Overview

Tools are what an agent can do beyond answering: call an API, look something up, take an action. This page covers the tools attached to one agent.
Not to be confused with two neighbouring pages. MCP Connectors covers the project-level MCP server definitions a tool can be created from, and Built-in Tools covers the tools every agent has without configuration.

List Tools

Create a Tool

Get a Tool

Update a Tool

Delete a Tool

Configure a Tool

Settings are per-tool and depend on its type — approval requirements, timeouts, credentials.

Enable or Disable One Function

A tool can expose many functions. toggleTool turns a single one on or off without removing the tool, which is how you narrow a large MCP server down to the handful of calls an agent should make.

Refresh a Tool

Re-reads the tool’s definition from its source, picking up functions that were added or removed upstream.

Test the Connection

Checks that the tool’s credentials and endpoint still work, without involving the agent.
