When does this happen?

IF Building tools to give site_1 access to resources is resource intensive and repetitive; 90% of time spent on figuring out API details, auth, and retries rather than agent logic.

How others solved it

THEN Adopt a reusable Toolset concept that groups multiple tools with their own state, dependencies, and relation to agent dependencies. Support registering tools from an OpenAPI schema with few lines of code and integrate tools from Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. Create common toolsets for services like Slack, Gmail, and search to leverage existing MCP server implementations.

Define a Toolset class that holds tools and state, e.g., class SlackToolset(Toolset): ... and register it via agent.add_toolset(SlackToolset()). For OpenAPI: agent.add_toolset(OpenAPIToolset(schema_url='https://api.example.com/openapi.json')). For MCP: agent.add_toolset(MCPToolset(server='http://localhost:8000')).
