Tool

Bases: ABC

A capability a participant can invoke during its turn.

A tool has a name, a JSON schema (in the function-calling format chat templates render via their tools= argument), and is callable with keyword arguments to produce a string result. Tools contain live callables and so are NOT serializable — templates store tool names and resolve them against a ToolRegistry at build time, mirroring how models are resolved from ids.

schema: dict

The tool's JSON function schema, e.g. {"type": "function", "function": {"name", "description", "parameters": {...}}}, passed straight to apply_chat_template(tools=...) so each family renders it in its native format.
