# Tools And Streaming

> Core patterns for tool calling, streaming, and agent loops.

Use this page when your workflow is interactive, tool-heavy, or multi-step.

## What Matters Here

| Topic                | Why it matters                                                              |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Tools                | Tool loops are one of the main places budgets and runtime controls matter   |
| Streaming            | Interactive UX depends on preserving low latency and clear runtime behavior |
| Multi-step execution | Cost and failure compound across steps, not only at the first call          |
