Using tools with OpenAI assistants

Some operations allow you to connect tools. Tools act like addons that your AI can use to access extra context or resources.

Select the Tools connector to browse the available tools and add them.

Once you add a tool connection, the OpenAI node becomes a root node, allowing it to form a cluster node with the tools sub-nodes. See Node types for more information on cluster nodes and root nodes.
