Why do AI ...
Why do AI agents need external tools like web search or code execution, rather than relying solely on their training data?
Training data has a knowledge cutoff and cannot be updated; tools allow agents to act on live data and perform real-world side effects
Tools make the agent faster by offloading all computation to external systems
Without tools, the agent cannot understand natural language
Tools are required to give the agent a persistent identity across sessions
