Tool System Overview
Applies to: 4.0.8.1+
This section is organized into 5 practical tracks:
- How to use tools: register tools, let model decide calls, inspect runtime effects
- Built-in tools: one page per common BuiltInTool
- Runtime process: end-to-end Tool Loop behavior in request lifecycle
- Handlers: default behavior and replacement points
- Additional notes: safety, observability, concurrency, tests, migration
1) Reading Map
| Topic | Page |
|---|---|
| Tool usage + runtime effect | Tool Quickstart |
| Full runtime process | Tool Runtime (Tool Loop) |
| Default handlers and customization | Tool Handlers (Default & Replace) |
| Additional engineering notes | Tool Notes & Best Practices |
2) Built-in Tools (one page each)
3) Tool System Map
4) Suggested Order
- Start with Tool Quickstart
- Read Tool Runtime (Tool Loop)
- Then Tool Handlers (Default & Replace)
- Use specific built-in pages by scenario
