# 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: `{}`)

## 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(),
});
```

### Options parameters

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