#Use Tools

tools define what an AI Employee can do.

#Tool Structure

The tools page is split into three sections:

1. General tools: shared by all AI Employees, read-only.
2. Employee-specific tools: specific to the current employee, usually read-only.
3. Custom tools: custom tools that can be added/removed and configured with default permissions.

#Tool Permissions

Tool permissions are unified as:

• Ask: ask for confirmation before calling.
• Allow: allow direct calling.

Recommendation: use Ask by default for data-modifying tools.

#Add and Maintain

Create a workflow in the workflow module with the trigger type set to AI employee event.

Click Add skill in Custom tools to add workflow as tool and configure permissions based on business risk.
