Overview

HALO tools are essential components that enhance agent capabilities by integrating with external APIs and services. These tools enable agents to communicate with external systems, automate tasks, and handle complex datasets. HALO tools play a critical role in optimizing agent performance by expanding their operational capabilities, improving overall efficiency, and boosting their operational scope.

Accessing and Managing Tools

Accessing Tools

You can access your tools by navigating to the Tools Overview section via the Tools button in the left-side menu. This section provides a comprehensive list of all available tools, each designed to extend agent functionalities for various tasks. The list includes the tool's name and a brief description of its purpose.

Managing Tools

HALO provides flexible options for managing your tools, allowing you to customize and organize them according to your needs:

• Individual Actions: Next to each tool, click the three-dot menu to access the following options:

  • Edit: Modify the tool's configuration or settings.
