How agents use tools
When you chat with an agent:- Agent understands what you want to accomplish
- Selects appropriate tools based on your request
- Executes safely with proper error handling
- Shows results and suggests follow-up actions
- Agent uses GitHub tool to fetch latest code
- Uses Docker tool to build container image
- Uses Kubernetes tool to deploy to staging cluster
- Uses Slack tool to notify team of deployment
Custom tools
For standard operations: Most teams find the built-in tools sufficient. For specialized needs: You can create custom tools using:- Docker containers - Package any script or application
- API endpoints - Connect to internal services
- Shell commands - Wrap existing scripts
- Python functions - Direct code integration

Managing tool access
Permissions: Control which tools each team member can access. Secrets: Store API keys and credentials securely. Usage tracking: See which tools are used most often. Health monitoring: Get alerts when tools become unavailable.Getting started? Connect one tool you use daily first - like GitHub or AWS. Once you see how it works, add more.
