Tools

Enhance ElevenLabs agents with custom functionalities and external integrations.

Overview

Tools allow ElevenLabs agents to perform actions beyond generating text responses. They enable agents to interact with external systems, execute custom logic, or access specific functionalities during a conversation. This allows for richer, more capable interactions tailored to specific use cases.

ElevenLabs Agents supports the following kinds of tools:

Client Tools

Tools executed directly on the client-side application (e.g., web browser, mobile app).

Webhook tools

Custom tools that call external APIs through webhooks.

Code Tools

Custom JavaScript executed in a sandboxed environment on ElevenLabs’ infrastructure.

MCP Tools

Model Context Protocol servers that provide tools and resources to agents.

System Tools

Built-in tools provided by the platform for common actions.

Tool Features

Tool Call Sounds

Add ambient audio during tool execution to enhance user experience.

Tool Interruptions

Control whether users can interrupt the agent while a tool runs.
