🛠 Tools

Definition

A Tool is a capability an agent can invoke during a conversation to read information or perform an action. Tools are what let the Advisor go beyond plain text and actually operate on your data and connected systems.

Managing tools

• Define and manage the external tools agents can invoke during a conversation
• Each tool extends what the Advisor can read or do across the product and connected systems
• Attach the relevant tools to an agent from its configuration

MCP tools

Beyond the tools managed here, the Advisor also exposes Microscope's own data and actions through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — OKRs, initiatives, PRDs, workloads, and more. This is what enables spec-driven development with external coding agents.
