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.

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.Next Steps
