Creating a tool gives you a named, empty tool in an integration, ready for you to define its input, add logic steps, and define its output. This article is for integrator.io users building a tool for the first time; it takes you from the Tools page to a new tool open in Tool builder. For what a tool is and when to build one, see Celigo tools overview.
Prerequisites: A tool always belongs to an integration. If your account has none, create your first integration first. Keep tools that several flows or agents share in a dedicated integration so you can find and promote them together.
Create the tool
- Go to AI studio
, and then select Tools.
- Select + Create tool.
- Enter Name your tool.
- Enter a Description. AI agents that call the tool read the description to decide when to use it, so describe what the tool does and what it returns.
- Under Option, keep Add to existing integration and choose the integration in Select integration, or select Create new integration and enter an Integration name.
- Select Next.
The tool opens in Tool builder with two placeholder steps, Tool input (named input) and Tool output (named output), joined by Add step . Run test
stays disabled until you configure both steps. For every element on the page, see Tool builder reference.
To rename the tool or change its description later, select Settings .
Next steps
- Configure tool input — give the input step a real name and define the input schema.
- Add lookups and imports to a tool — add at least one logic step.
- Configure tool output and Map data in a tool.
- Test a tool in Tool builder.
