+- List available tools from configured MCP servers
+- Execute tools provided by MCP servers
+
+#### Using MCP Tools
+
+MCP tools allow the agent to execute functions provided by external services through the Model Context Protocol. The agent can:
+
+1. Discover available tools using `mcp.listTools()`
+2. Execute a tool using `mcp.executeTool({ uri: 'server-name://path/to/tool', params: { ... } })`
+
+Tools can provide various capabilities like:
+
+- Searching documentation
+- Accessing databases
+- Interacting with APIs
+- Performing specialized calculations
+- Accessing proprietary services
+
+Each tool has a URI that identifies it, along with parameters it accepts and the type of result it returns.
