@agentskit/tools

@agentskit/tools is what turns a model from “something that answers” into “something that can actually do work”. It is the action layer of the ecosystem.

#When to reach for it

• You need ready-made tools (web search, file I/O, shell).
• You want GitHub / Linear / Slack / Notion / Stripe / Postgres / S3 / …
• You want to speak MCP (consume or publish).

#Best fit

• Start here when prompts alone stop being enough.
• Pair with @agentskit/runtime for autonomous agents and workflows.
• Pair with @agentskit/react when you want tool-aware chat surfaces and confirmations.
• Pair with @agentskit/sandbox and security recipes before enabling risky actions.

#Install

npm install @agentskit/tools

#Hello world

import { webSearch, fetchUrl } from '@agentskit/tools'
import { github } from '@agentskit/tools/integrations'
import { createRuntime } from '@agentskit/runtime'

const tools = [
  webSearch(),
  fetchUrl(),
  ...github({ token: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN! }),
]
const runtime = createRuntime({ adapter, tools })

Most production agents become valuable only once this layer is in place.
