What is Tools?
Tools are specialized functions that allow the AI assistant to perform actions on your computer rather than just generating text. These functions are categorized into client-side tools that interact with your local environment, such as Bash for running terminal commands, Read and Edit for file manipulation, and Glob or Grep for searching codebases, and server-side tools like WebSearch for fetching real-time information from the internet.
