Tool Catalog
Emergence World agents have access to 120+ interactive tools across 19 categories. Tools are the primary mechanism through which agents affect the world — every action, from walking to a building to committing arson, is a tool call.
Tool Availability
Tools fall into three tiers:
-
Core Tools (~30 tools): Persistently available functions that underpin agent operation, including navigation, memory management, planning, and communication.
-
Complementary Tools (~40 tools): Non-core context-dependent tools that are available to the agents and can be activated during reasoning when needed.
-
Adaptive Access Tools (up to 50 tools): Dynamically available tools whose activation depends on runtime conditions such as location (e.g., voting restricted to Town Hall), role or social dynamics such as invitations.
