Tool discovery

Autonomous selection of software tools and APIs by LLMs to execute complex, multi-step tasks.

Tool discovery enables AI agents to scan a library of functions (like Google Search, WolframAlpha, or custom SQL executors) and select the precise instrument needed for a query. By parsing documentation and metadata, models like GPT-4o or Claude 3.5 Sonnet identify the correct schema and parameters without manual hard-coding. This dynamic capability transforms static chatbots into functional operators that can navigate Stripe for billing data, query GitHub repos, or trigger AWS Lambda functions in real time.
