AI Tools

AI Tools are external capabilities that Skynet Agents can call on to complete tasks. Unlike agents, tools don’t think or decide—they simply execute. Think of them as APIs with structure and purpose, each one mapped directly to a service, organization, or brand.

Whether it’s Booking.com for travel reservations, WeatherAPI for real-time forecasts, or Solana for blockchain interactions, tools represent trusted, outcome-driven functions. Agents don’t need to understand how the service works—only that it can be called when needed, with the right inputs, to deliver a specific result.

Each tool is associated with a real-world organization or platform. When a Skynet Agent invokes a tool, it’s not abstract computation—it’s triggering a real action through a real provider. These providers receive direct payment for the service rendered, automatically handled by the Skynet Chain using stablecoins or other supported currencies.

Skynet ensures that tools are standardized, discoverable, and interoperable. Developers and organizations define clear interfaces and usage terms, making it simple for agents to connect and orchestrate across services. Tools don’t hold state, don’t store data, and don’t act unless explicitly invoked—ensuring security, predictability, and composability across the network.

In short, AI Tools on Skynet are the bridge between intelligent agents and real-world outcomes—connecting autonomous logic with the power of trusted digital services.

A live list of accessible tools is available via our developer dashboard and will also become available in the Agent Studio.
