Tool Composition Patterns
Orchestrate multiple tools into sophisticated, powerful agent workflows

0 / 5 completedFrom Single Tools to Complex Workflows
A single tool is powerful. But the magic happens when you combine multiple tools into coordinated workflows. Tool composition lets agents tackle complex, multi-step tasks that no single tool could handle alone.
Instead of asking "What can this tool do?", you start asking "What can these tools accomplish together?"
Why Composition Matters
🧩
Solve Complex Problems
Break down sophisticated tasks into manageable tool sequences
⚡
Optimize Performance
Run independent tools in parallel to reduce total execution time
🎯
Build Intelligence
Create adaptive workflows that respond to runtime conditions
♻️
Maximize Reusability
Combine existing tools in new ways without writing new code
Interactive: Composition Pattern Explorer
Click each pattern to see how tools work together
Execute tools one after another, passing results forward
Low Complexity
Example Flow:
search_web → extract_text → summarize → email_results
Primary Benefit:
Simple, predictable, easy to debug
When to Use:
When each step depends on the previous result
Real-World Example: Research Assistant
A research agent uses multiple composition patterns to complete a complex task
1
Parallel Research
search_papers + search_web + query_database (simultaneously)
2
Conditional Filtering
if result.quality > threshold: analyze_deeply else: skip
3
Sequential Synthesis
extract_insights → synthesize_findings → generate_summary
4
Final Output
format_report → save_to_storage → notify_user
Result:
A sophisticated workflow combining all three composition patterns to deliver comprehensive research in minutes, not hours.
