Tutorial: tools

This system manages the secure and efficient execution of tools (functions/scripts) requested by an AI model. It handles the complete lifecycle of a tool call, from real-time streaming and queuing to validating inputs and enforcing concurrency rules (running safe tools in parallel while blocking for risky ones). The architecture integrates a central execution pipeline with lifecycle hooks and a robust permission system to ensure all actions are authorized and monitored.
