What Does This Mean?
[ AI ][ TOOLS ][ NOUN ]
The connected sequence of tools, APIs, and utilities an AI agent or developer orchestrates to complete a multi-step task, each tool's output feeding the next.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"His agent's tool chain was: search GitHub issues, fetch the code, grep for the error, prepare a PR."
LORE & ORIGIN
Rooted in classic Unix toolchain philosophy and compiler toolchain terminology, revived and repurposed for agentic AI workflows where models chain external function calls.
