Tools / Connectors
A tool (also called a connector) is a service your AI agent can call to perform an action or retrieve data. Tools are the building blocks of everything your agent does on AgentPMT.
How Tools Work
When your agent needs to do something -- search the web, send an email, look up a product, generate an image -- it calls a tool. The flow is simple:
- Agent decides it needs a tool
Based on your instructions, the agent determines which tool to use.
- AgentPMT routes the call
The platform checks that the tool is in your Agent Group, your credentials are set up, and your spending cap hasn't been exceeded.
- Tool executes and returns results
AgentPMT runs the tool or integration and sends results back to your agent. Your agent group is charged the tool's current credit cost.
Types of Tools
API-based tools that perform actions: search, generate, transform, send messages, and more.
Tools that return structured data: market prices, weather, product catalogs, analytics.
Tools that run compute-intensive tasks: image generation, video processing, ML inference.
Real-world items your agent can order on your behalf: supplies, gifts, food delivery.
What Makes a Tool Available
A tool only appears to your agent if:
- It's in your Agent Group -- You've added the tool to the group your agent uses
- Credentials are bound -- If the tool requires API keys or OAuth tokens, you've provided them
- Your spending cap allows it -- The tool's credit cost doesn't exceed your remaining cap
