Introduction
Agno provides a rich ecosystem of over 100 built-in tools that extend agent capabilities across various domains. Tools enable agents to interact with external APIs, services, databases, and systems to accomplish complex tasks.What are Tools?
Tools are functions that agents can call to perform specific actions. Each tool:- Has a name and description that helps the agent understand when to use it
- Accepts parameters defined by a JSON schema
- Returns results that the agent can use in its response
- Can be sync or async for optimal performance
