Adding a tool from a catalog
Tools can be added to your agent from a catalog. A catalog is a collection of prebuilt tools that you can add to your agent. These tools extend the agent’s capabilities without extra development. Catalog tools provide consistency, allow faster setup, and can be reused across multiple agents or workflows.
To add a tool from the catalog to your agent:
From the agent's toolset in the Toolset section, click Add tool.
From the Add a new tool menu, select the Add from catalog option.
Find and select the tool that you want to add and click Add to agent.
What to do next
After a tool is added, an agent can start using it. After adding your tools, consider the following:
Update the tool's description. The agent uses the tool description field to determine whether it will use the tool and how it will use the tool. Make sure to provide a detailed description for how the agent can use the tool. To update the tool description, click the tool menu and select Edit details. When you are satisfied with your description, click Save. You can continue to iterate on the description, as you test the tool.
Test the tool. To test your tool, use the prompt in the Preview chat window to invoke your tool.
Make sure the value that is returned from a Python tool matches the data type that you defined for that tool.
