They are sharing a simple example of tool use:
→ resolving math problems.
Claude struggles at doing complex math, so they provided a calculator tool.

#5 → Forcing JSON with tool use
The most interesting way of utilizing the tool use is forcing Claude to respond with structured content like JSON.
→ Simply ask for it.
Define a tool that describes a particular JSON structure. Claude will respond back.

#6 → Complete workflow
They shared a diagram of a general overview of the process:
1. You share the prompt
2. Clause uses a tool
3. You extract input & return results
4. Claude uses a tool to answer
The full process is explained below:

#7 → Tool use with multiple tools
Use case: build a customer support chatbot for an electronics company
They provide Claude with a suite of tools it can select from.
> get_user
> get_order_by_id
> get_customer_orders
> cancel_order
