AI agents can think, but they rely on tools to act. These tools are evolving across three layers. Static tools retrieve information. Dynamic tools execute actions like coding or system integration. Emerging tools enable multimodal input, agent collaboration, and real-world interaction.

These can scale with increasingly complex, real-world agent workflows. Read our full blog here.
