Tool-calling is presented as a core capability for modern agents
The reply explains that AI agents become much more capable when they can use external tools rather than relying only on model memory.
Examples listed include:
- browsers
- MCP servers
- APIs
- databases
- search engines
- code interpreters
The workflow is simple: understand the task, choose a tool, execute, and verify the result. The main point is that strong agents do not need to know everything themselves; they need to know how to fetch what they need.
