APIs
APIs give your Agent access to the real world.
Use APIs for things like:
- searching the web
- scraping pages
- reading social or business data
- creating images or media
- connecting to SaaS tools
- calling provider-specific capabilities
How APIs are used
You can use an API in three ways:
- Call it directly from your application.
- Add it to Setup so your AI tool can use it.
- Add it to an Agent when the Agent needs tools.
API vs Model
Models think and generate.
APIs fetch data, take actions, or call external systems.
Both can be used by an Agent.
