How to Add Tool Calling to an AI Agent

How agents call tools safely: tool interface, auth, and error handling.

Answer

Define tools (inputs/outputs), enforce permissions, then let the agent call tools through a consistent interface. With Dedalus, your agent can call MCP servers (yours or marketplace-hosted) using the Dedalus SDK as an MCP client.

Nuances & Considerations

Tool calls must be bounded: timeouts, retries, and safe defaults for write actions.
