Where it runs
Part of the tools set, used in workflow and agent mode. What the model is told about each built-in tool: its description, usage notes and parameters. kdeps runs the tool itself.
- the agent loop builds the request
- the tool definitions are sent to the modeltools/exa_search
- the model calls a tool
- kdeps runs it
- the result goes back to the model
Loaded by: kdeps (agent loop), /update, /settings, kdeps run, kdeps install, kdeps list, kdeps uninstall, kdeps update
