Overview

StackAI tools perform specific tasks within an agent or workflow: search for information, process documents, create files, or take an action. Use this catalog to choose an operation and understand its inputs, results, and limits.

Use a tool in an agent or workflow

In an agent, attach the tools it can choose from and describe when it should use each one. In a workflow, add the action to the processing sequence and connect its required input values. A tool's output can become input for a later step; adding the tool alone does not display its result to a user.

Follow Give an agent tools or Configure and test an action for the full setup procedure. Each tool page explains what to supply and how to check the returned result.

Availability and access

Use the tool name shown in your picker. Available tools depend on your deployment and organization settings. StackAI Computer tools require that capability to be available. Interactive tools can also require a chat session; they are not interchangeable with background or API operations.

For a third-party service's credentials, permissions, and provider-specific actions, use the Provider Catalog.

Maintain an older workflow

Legacy Tools and Migration identifies deprecated tools and explains the available alternatives. Tools no longer offered in the picker are not recommendations for new workflows. Check input mappings, returned fields, and user-visible behavior when replacing an existing tool.
