## When to use tools
|
|
|
|
- Agents need external data or side effects.
|
|
- Deterministic systems must be integrated into agent workflows.
|
|
|
|
## Tool safety rules
|
|
|
|
- define clear input schemas
|
|
- validate outputs before downstream use
|
|
- isolate privileged tools behind policy checks
|
