Agent Tool Use overview
Agent Tool Use as a cross-cutting topic - how LLM agents call, compose, and reason about tools during task execution. Covers tool schema design for optimal model comprehension, permission approval flows (allow-listing, interactive approval gates), parallel vs sequential tool invocation, tool-result handling and error recovery, chain-of-tool reasoning patterns, and security considerations for tools with side effects (file writes, network calls, code execution).
