tool_sets.tools.create(tool_set_id, **kwargs) -> Tool { metadata, spec, info }
POST/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/tool_sets/{toolSetId}/tools

Creates a new tool in the tool set

ParametersExpand Collapse
workspace_id: String
tool_set_id: String
metadata: CreateResourceMetadata { name, bundle_key, external_id, labels }

CreateResourceMetadata contains the user-provided fields for creating a workspace-scoped resource. Read-only fields (id, account_id, workspace_id, profile_id, created_at) are excluded since they are set by the server.

name: String

Human-readable name for the resource (e.g., “Customer Support Agent”, “Email Tool”)

bundle_key: String

Optional bundle ownership key. See ResourceMetadata.bundle_key.

external_id: String

External ID for the resource (e.g., a workflow ID from an external system)

labels: Hash[Symbol, String]

Arbitrary key-value pairs for categorization and filtering Examples: {“environment”: “production”, “team”: “platform”, “version”: “v2”}

spec: ToolSpec { config, description, parameters, 2 more }
config: ToolSpecConfig { http, mcp, openapi }

Config defines the adapter to use for the tool. This is used to determine how the tool is called. For example, if the tool is an HTTP tool, the adapter will be Http. If the tool is an inline tool, the adapter will be Inline.

http: ConfigHTTP { request_method, headers, path, 4 more }
request_method: :HTTP_METHOD_UNSPECIFIED | :GET | :POST | 3 more
formatenum
One of the following:
:HTTP_METHOD_UNSPECIFIED
:GET
:POST
:PUT
:PATCH
:DELETE
headers: Hash[Symbol, String]
path: String
query: String
request_body_content_type: String
request_body_template: String

These are only used when the request method is a POST, PUT, or PATCH

tool_name: String

The tool name (commonly an “operation id” in OpenAPI specs) to call on the HTTP adapter. This is used to match the tool spec to the correct endpoint on the HTTP adapter. it will be derived from the name of the tool if not provided.

mcp: ConfigMcp { tool_description, tool_name, tool_title }
tool_description: String
tool_name: String
tool_title: String
openapi: ConfigOpenAPI { method_, operation_id, path }
method_: String
operation_id: String
path: String
description: String
parameters: Hash[Symbol, untyped]
status: :TOOL_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED | :TOOL_STATUS_AVAILABLE | :TOOL_STATUS_OMITTED | :TOOL_STATUS_ARCHIVED
formatenum
One of the following:
:TOOL_STATUS_UNSPECIFIED
:TOOL_STATUS_AVAILABLE
:TOOL_STATUS_OMITTED
:TOOL_STATUS_ARCHIVED
requires_approval: bool

class Tool { metadata, spec, info }
metadata: ResourceMetadata { id, account_id, created_at, 6 more }

Standard metadata for persistent, named resources (e.g., agents, tools, prompts)

id: String

Unique identifier for the resource (prefixed ULID, e.g., “agent_01HXK…”)

account_id: String

Account this resource belongs to for multi-tenant isolation (prefixed ULID)

created_at: Time

Timestamp when this resource was created

formatdate-time
name: String

Human-readable name for the resource (e.g., “Customer Support Agent”, “Email Tool”) Required for resources that users interact with directly

profile_id: String

ID of the actor (user or service account) that created this resource

workspace_id: String

Workspace this resource belongs to for organizational grouping (prefixed ULID)

bundle_key: String

Optional bundle ownership key. When set, indicates the resource is managed by a configuration bundle identified by this key. Used by BulkWorkspaceResources.Apply to track which resources belong to which bundle for reconciliation / soft-delete on re-apply.

external_id: String

External ID for the resource (e.g., a workflow ID from an external system)

labels: Hash[Symbol, String]

Arbitrary key-value pairs for categorization and filtering Examples: {“environment”: “production”, “team”: “platform”, “version”: “v2”}
