Agent & Tools Overview

NovaAPI is compatible with OpenAI's tool-calling (Function Calling / Tools) protocol, so it can serve as the model backend for various agent frameworks and let the model call the tools you define.

Use cases

• Let the model call external tools: weather, databases, ordering, knowledge retrieval, etc.
• Integrate with LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, and other agent frameworks
• Build multi-step reasoning and tool-orchestration agents

Integration points

1. Connect the OpenAI-compatible way: point base_url at https://api.novaapis.com/v1
2. Choose a model that supports tool calling (see Models)
3. Declare tools in the request and handle the model's tool_calls
