Tools
Last updated: Jan 2026
Tools extend what your AI workflows can do. When enabled on an LLM step, the AI can decide when and how to use tools to complete tasks - searching the web, sending emails, making API calls, and more.
| Category | Tools | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | 1 | Send emails to workflow owner |
| Web & Research | 3 | Search, crawl, and extract web content |
| Integration | 1 | Call external APIs |
No API Keys Required
All built-in tools work out of the box. Web search, crawling, and content extraction are powered by Tavily. Email uses ORCFLO's verified sender.Available Tools

Adding Tools to Steps
Tools are added per LLM step. Each step can have different tools available depending on what that step needs to accomplish. The AI decides whether to use a tool based on your prompt.
Drag from Component Library
Drag a tool from the component library and drop it onto the LLM step you want to give that capability.
Add from Configuration Panel
Select a step and add tools directly from its configuration panel in the Tools section.
Multi-Select for Bulk Add
Use ⌘+click to select multiple steps, then add tools to all of them at once.
AI Decides When to Use Tools
Adding a tool gives the step the ability to use it - not an obligation. The AI will decide whether to use a tool based on your prompt and what would help accomplish the task.Ready to extend your workflows? Start by enabling Web Search to give your AI access to current information.
