Virtual Tool

Declare one tool callable by an AI::VirtualAgent (or exposed externally via AI::MCPEndpoint). Each property defined on the tool becomes a typed output connector — when the model invokes the tool, the matching argument is sent on that connector and the downstream branch executes with the value.

Parameters​

Name—REQUIRED

Tool name shown to the model. Must be unique within the parent VirtualAgent / MCPEndpoint.

Description—REQUIRED

Plain-language description of what the tool does. The model reads this to decide when to call the tool — keep it concrete and unambiguous.

Properties—REQUIRED

Arguments the model must (or may) provide when invoking the tool. Each property has: - Name — argument key, also the output connector key. - Type — Text, Integer, or JSON. - Required — when true the model must provide a value. - Format — optional format hint (e.g. email, uri, date-time) sent to the model. - Enum values — optional list of allowed values; the model is constrained to pick from these. - Default — optional default value supplied to the downstream branch when the model omits the argument.

Input​

Tool—REQUIRED

Connection back to the parent AI::VirtualAgent or AI::MCPEndpoint that exposes this tool.

Output​

One output connector per declared property — typed according to the property's type and labeled with the property name. Downstream nodes wire to the arguments they care about.
