# Built-in Tools Overview

> Comprehensive reference for all built-in tools available to the Meta Agent, including platform tools, connector-based integrations, and sandboxed execution capabilities.

The Meta Agent has access to a rich set of built-in tools that enable it to interact with the Kubiya platform, external services, and execute code safely.

## How Tools Work

When you interact with the Meta Agent, tools are invoked transparently through the MCP (Model Context Protocol):

```mermaid theme={null}
sequenceDiagram
    participant User
    participant MetaAgent
    participant MCP Server
    participant Tool

    User->>MetaAgent: Natural language request
    MetaAgent->>MetaAgent: Analyze intent
    MetaAgent->>MCP Server: Tool invocation
    MCP Server->>Tool: Execute operation
    Tool-->>MCP Server: Results
    MCP Server-->>MetaAgent: Structured response
    MetaAgent->>User: Formatted answer
```

## Enabling Connectors

To access connector-based tools, enable them in the chat interface:

1. Click the **connectors menu** (plug icon) in the input bar
2. Select the connectors you need from the dropdown
3. Some connectors may require initial setup (OAuth flow, API keys, etc.)
4. Once enabled, the Meta Agent will have access to those tools for the conversation

<Tip>
  You can enable multiple connectors simultaneously. The Meta Agent will automatically use the appropriate connector based on your request.
