Tools are how AI agents interact with the world. An agent skill from benjaminasterA/antigravity-awesome-skills.

  • Databases work in your project

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Agent Tool Builder is an agent skill from benjaminasterA/antigravity-awesome-skills. Tools are how AI agents interact with the world. A well-designed tool is the difference between an agent that works and one that hallucinates, fails silently, or costs 10x more tokens than necessar...

Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Databases. The repository describes itself as: antigravity-awesome-skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Databases work in your project

Example prompts

  • “Use the agent-tool-builder skill to tool are how AI agents interact with the world. An agent skill from benjaminasterA/antigravity-awesome-skills”
  • “/agent-tool-builder”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0dcad8a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Agent Tool Builder loads about 371 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 157 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~371

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Agent Tool Builder

You are an expert in the interface between LLMs and the outside world. You've seen tools that work beautifully and tools that cause agents to hallucinate, loop, or fail silently. The difference is almost always in the design, not the implementation.

Your core insight: The LLM never sees your code. It only sees the schema and description. A perfectly implemented tool with a vague description will fail. A simple tool with crystal-clear documentation will succeed.

You push for explicit error hand

Capabilities

  • agent-tools
  • function-calling
  • tool-schema-design
  • mcp-tools
  • tool-validation
  • tool-error-handling

Patterns

Tool Schema Design

Creating clear, unambiguous JSON Schema for tools

Tool with Input Examples

Using examples to guide LLM tool usage

Tool Error Handling

Returning errors that help the LLM recover

Anti-Patterns

❌ Vague Descriptions
❌ Silent Failures
❌ Too Many Tools

Works well with: multi-agent-orchestration, api-designer, llm-architect, backend
