What is agentic tool use in Aerie workflows?

Agentic tool use lets AI models in Aerie dynamically call external tools like weather APIs via MCP, enabling real-world interactions in structured workflows.

How do I set up MCP servers in Aerie?

Import configs from examples/tools/nix in the Tools tab, configure env vars for creds, and connect via STDIO or HTTP—no coding needed.

Can Aerie handle remote tools without API keys?

Yes, like open-meteo for weather; others like tavily require accounts, but local STDIO servers keep it key-free.
