API Integration
Domain: Tools & Function Calling
🎯 Motivation
Connecting external APIs as agent tools - weather, stock prices, maps, databases - extends the agent’s capabilities infinitely.
📋 Concrete Example
Register tools: get_weather (OpenWeather API), get_stock (Yahoo Finance API), get_directions (Google Maps API). Now the agent can check weather, stocks, and directions.
🔗 Analogy
Adding apps to your phone - each app (API) adds a new capability: maps for navigation, banking for payments, social media for sharing. API integration gives agents new capabilities the same way.
