What is Tool-Use LLMs?
Tool-Use LLMs are language models trained to interact with external APIs, databases, and software tools by generating structured function calls enabling augmentation of model capabilities with deterministic computation and real-time data access.
This glossary term is currently being developed. Detailed content covering enterprise AI implementation, operational best practices, and strategic considerations will be added soon. For immediate assistance with AI operations strategy, please contact Pertama Partners for expert advisory services.
Understanding this concept is critical for successful AI operations at scale. Proper implementation improves system reliability, operational efficiency, and organizational capability while maintaining security, compliance, and performance standards.
- Tool definition schema and documentation quality
- Error handling when tools fail or return unexpected results
- Security and access control for tool execution
- Cost and latency of tool calls in complex workflows

An Agentic Workflow is a multi-step business process where AI agents autonomously plan, execute, and adapt a sequence of tasks to achieve a defined outcome, making decisions at each stage rather than following a fixed script.
Tool Use in AI refers to the ability of AI models, particularly large language models, to invoke external tools such as APIs, databases, calculators, web browsers, and code interpreters to extend their capabilities beyond text generation and deliver accurate, actionable results.
Function Calling is a mechanism that enables large language models to generate structured requests to invoke specific software functions or APIs, allowing AI systems to translate natural language instructions into precise, executable actions within business applications.
A Multi-Agent System is an architecture where multiple specialized AI agents work together, each handling distinct roles or tasks, to solve complex problems that would be difficult or impossible for a single agent to address effectively on its own.
Agent Orchestration is the coordination and management of multiple AI agents working together, including task assignment, sequencing, resource allocation, error handling, and ensuring agents collaborate effectively to achieve a unified business objective.
