Anthropic Tool Use
Explore Anthropic's tool use feature, enabling Claude models to interact with external tools and APIs. Define tools with schemas, call them in parallel, and stream results. Enhance Claude's capabilities by integrating it with external services.
4 Steps
- 1
Define a Tool Schema: Create a JSON schema that describes the inputs your tool expects. This schema will guide Claude in using the tool correctly.
- 2
Call the Tool with Claude: Send a prompt to Claude that requires the use of your defined tool. Claude will then generate a structured tool call based on the input schema. This is done via the messages API.
- 3
Process the Tool Call Result: After Claude generates the tool call, execute the tool with the provided arguments. Then, send the result back to Claude as a new message.
- 4
Receive Claude's Response: Claude will now generate a final response incorporating the information from your tool. Present this response to the user.
