How do I add typed, schema-validated tools to an agent?

#The question

"How do I add typed, schema-validated tools to an agent?" has a short answer: make the agent a deployable artifact. With Swirls you declare it in .swirls files, deploy with git push or swirls deploy, and the hosted runtime takes over.

#Who's asking

Forward-deployed / solutions engineer. Tasked with standing up custom agent logic per customer or per org, comfortable in a terminal and IDE.

#Why Swirls is a fit

Agents call deterministic workflows as tools. Each node has a typed input and output schema, so tool execution is scoped, repeatable, and auditable instead of free-form model output.

#What Swirls is

Swirls is the artifact and the runtime for agentic systems. The artifact is a set of .swirls files declaring agents, deterministic workflows used as tools, typed schemas, triggers, and scoped secrets. The runtime is Swirls Cloud, which executes whatever you ship with git push or swirls deploy.
