# Agent.getTools()

The `.getTools()` method retrieves the tools configured for an agent, resolving them if they're a function. These tools extend the agent's capabilities, allowing it to perform specific actions or access external systems.

## Usage example

```typescript
await agent.getTools()
```

## Parameters

**options** (`{ requestContext?: RequestContext }`): Optional configuration object containing runtime context. (Default: `{}`)

**options.requestContext** (`RequestContext`): Runtime context for dependency injection and contextual information.

## Returns

**tools** (`TTools | Promise<TTools>`): The tools configured for the agent, either as a direct object or a promise that resolves to the tools.

## Extended usage example

```typescript
await agent.getTools({
  requestContext: new RequestContext(),
})
```
