An AI agen...
An AI agent has access to a web_search function it can call to look up current information. How does this differ from a skill?
web_search is a tool — it is a callable function that performs an action; a skill is behavioural guidance for the AI itself
Tools are written in natural language and skills are written in code
Skills can only be invoked by humans; tools can be invoked by the AI itself
There is no meaningful difference — both tools and skills tell the AI what to do
