Giving your agents Tools

Ensuring your agents are evolved.

Tools (or previously called Functions in the LLMs) are critical to giving your agents access to the information they need to execute the tasks you give them. Some examples might include:

• Searching the web

• Talking to your HRIS

• Generating a PDF

Tools are powerful because they allow you to expand what the LLM knows leveraging code and talking to your own systems via APIs.

As part of the SDK, we have provided common tools for working with Word, PDF and other common file formats. We also have provided built-in talent agents and tools for working with your HRIS and other common talent workflows.

Let's take a look at how to build a simple tool.
