defmodule AI.Tools do
@moduledoc """
This module defines the behaviour for tool calls. Defining a new tool
requires implementing the `spec/0` and `call/2` functions.
The `spec/0` function should return a map that describes the tool's
capabilities and arguments, using a map to represent the OpenAPI spec.
The `call/2` function generates the tool call response. It accepts the
requesting `AI.Completion`'s struct and a map derived from the parsed JSON
provided by the agent, containing the tool call arguments. Note that, because
the arguments are parsed from JSON, the keys will all be strings. Whether
those are converted to symbols is between the tool implementation and the
code it calls. What happens behind closed APIs is none of MY business.
## Skeleton Implementation
