Tools

The Soul Engine supports client side tool use. Tools are used through blocking calls (using async/await) from blueprint code to your client code. That is, blueprint code executed on the soul engine can call out to functions defined in your client code. These functions can do arbitrary actions and return a (serializable) response back to your blueprint code.

Tool use is not a replacement for InteractionRequests and Perceptions but is a very useful companion for actions that are relatively quick (30s timeout) and make sense to do inline with your soul's mental processes..

Example Usecases

• creating calendar appointments
• opening a page in the browser
• playing a sound effect
• clicking somewhere
