Tool Calling is Not Just Plumbing for AI Agents
Tool calling is more than just a technical detail—it’s the most important piece of how AI agents get things done. It allows agents to connect to systems, access data, and perform tasks effectively. Building good tools is very similar to building good APIs, as they need good design for things like authentication and security. But building good tools requires a bit more than knowledge about building APIs.
In this session, we’ll explore how tool calling works, why it matters, and how to do it right. You’ll learn different ways to build tools that help agents connect to APIs, databases...
