Common Toolsets

An agent runtime is the operating environment around the model. The model reasons, but the runtime gives it state, tools, execution, and time.

Runtime Capabilities

• Memory: recall prior facts and context.
• Sandbox: safely read, write, edit, and execute code.
• Cron: run jobs on a schedule.
• Skills: packaged workflows and constraints.
• Toolsets (OpenAPI, web, etc.): connect external systems.

Without a runtime, you have a chat model. With a runtime, you have an agent that can act reliably over time.
