From Basic to Agentic RAG | Use your RAG pipeline as tools in multi-agent pipelines

[@SamBeera]

Hi what is the difference between an agent and tool component, and when should one change an agent into a tool?

[@scotttregan]

Hi Sam, an agent component uses a tool to take action, such as invoke an API to send an email or post a calendar invite. In Langflow there are many tools components but you can also turn anything into a tool, such as any prebuilt or custom component, any complete flow or app, or any other agent into a tool. An example might be that you could have an orchestration agent that uses other agents as tools (to create content or do research) to play other roles in a multi-agent use case.
