## Tool Execution Pattern

```mermaid theme={null}
graph LR
    A[User Request] --> B[Intent Analysis]
    B --> C[Tool Selection]
    C --> D[Tool Execution]
    D --> E{Success?}
    E -->|Yes| F[Format Response]
    E -->|No| G[Error Handling]
    G --> H[Retry or Alternative]
    H --> D
    F --> I[Send to User]
```

## Dynamic Tool Creation

Tools are created dynamically based on:

* User's active integrations
* Available credentials
* User permissions
* Context requirements

Example:

```python theme={null}
# User with Google Calendar connected
tools = [
    search_web,
    read_webpage,
    create_calendar_event,  # ✓ Available
    search_calendar,        # ✓ Available
    send_message
]

# User without Google Calendar
tools = [
    search_web,
    read_webpage,
    # Calendar tools not available
    send_message
]
```

## Tool Descriptions

Each tool has clear descriptions for the AI:

```python theme={null}
@tool
async def create_calendar_event(
    title: str,
    start_time: datetime,
    end_time: datetime,
    attendees: Optional[List[str]] = None
):
    """
    Creates a calendar event.

    Args:
        title: Event title
        start_time: Event start (ISO format)
        end_time: Event end (ISO format)
        attendees: Email addresses of attendees

    Returns:
        Event details and confirmation
    """
```

## Error Handling

Robust error handling for:

* API failures
* Network issues
* Invalid inputs
* Permission errors
* Rate limiting

## Performance Features

### Caching

* User context cached in-memory
* Integration credentials cached
* Frequently accessed data
* Smart cache invalidation

### Async Operations

* All I/O operations async
* Concurrent tool execution where possible
* Non-blocking user interactions

### Retry Logic

* Automatic retries for transient failures
* Exponential backoff
* Circuit breaker pattern
* Graceful degradation

## Tool Permissions

### User-Level Control

Users can:

* Enable/disable specific tools
* Set usage limits
* Configure tool behavior
* Review tool activity

### Integration-Based

Tools automatically available when:

* Integration is configured
* Credentials are valid
* Permissions are granted
* Service is accessible

## Limitations & Quotas

### API Rate Limits

External services have limits:

* Google Calendar: 1M requests/day
