    "An agent without tools is just a chatbot. Tools are what make agents useful."
    — AI Agent Automations

    Agents become powerful when they can interact with the world. Function calling lets agents invoke structured operations. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) provides a standard for tool integration. External APIs connect agents to databases, services, and systems. Good tool design is critical - clear schemas, error handling, and appropriate permissions turn demos into production systems.
