Tools AI Agent node

The Tools Agent uses external tools and APIs to perform actions and retrieve information. It can understand the capabilities of different tools and determine which tool to use depending on the task. This agent helps integrate LLMs with various external services and databases.

This agent has an enhanced ability to work with tools and can ensure a standard output format.

The Tools Agent implements Langchain's tool calling (opens in a new tab) interface. This interface describes available tools and their schemas. The agent also has improved output parsing capabilities, as it passes the parser to the model as a formatting tool.

Streaming requirements: For streaming to work, your workflow must use a trigger that supports streaming responses, such as the Chat Trigger or Webhook node with Response Mode set to Streaming.
