Tool-augmented Reasoning
Category:
Agentic AI & Tools
Definition
Combining LLM reasoning with external tools such as search, databases, and code interpreters.
Explanation
Tool-augmented reasoning enhances agent reliability by allowing models to execute precise operations (calculations, SQL, code execution, API calls) rather than relying on internal reasoning alone. This improves accuracy, grounding, and task completion success rates.
Technical Architecture
LLM → Tool Decision Engine → Tool Call → Result Injection → Reasoning → Output
Core Component
Tool router, function schemas, execution sandbox, verification
Use Cases
Analytics agents, research assistants, workflow automation
Pitfalls
Unsafe tool execution; incorrect tool selection; API dependency
LLM Keywords
Tool Augmented LLM, LLM Tools, Function Calling
