## What is Toolhouse?

Toolhouse provides managed tool infrastructure for AI agents. Instead of building and hosting tools yourself, Toolhouse offers 100+ pre-built, cloud-hosted tools — web search, code execution, email, file operations — accessible via a single SDK call with managed authentication and logging.

**Answer-Ready**: Toolhouse is a managed AI tool infrastructure providing 100+ pre-built cloud-hosted tools (web search, code execution, email) accessible via one SDK call. Handles auth, execution, and logging so you focus on agent logic.

**Best for**: AI agent developers who want tools without infrastructure overhead. **Works with**: Anthropic, OpenAI, LangChain, Vercel AI SDK. **Setup time**: Under 2 minutes.

## Core Features

### 1. Pre-Built Tool Categories

| Category | Tools |
|----------|-------|
| Web | Search, scrape, read URL, screenshot |
| Code | Execute Python, Node.js, shell |
| Communication | Send email, Slack message |
| Data | Query databases, parse files |
| AI | Generate images, transcribe audio |
| Storage | Read/write files, manage S3 |

### 2. One-Line Integration

```python
# Anthropic
tools = th.get_tools()  # Returns tool definitions
results = th.run_tools(response)  # Executes tool calls

# OpenAI
from openai import OpenAI
client = OpenAI()
tools = th.get_tools(provider="openai")
```

### 3. Tool Bundles
Group tools by use case:

```python
# Only web tools
tools = th.get_tools(bundle="web")

# Only code execution
tools = th.get_tools(bundle="code")

# Custom selection
tools = th.get_tools(tools=["web_search", "send_email", "execute_python"])
```

### 4. Managed Execution
Tools run in Toolhouse's cloud:
- Sandboxed code execution
- Managed API keys (no credential sharing with LLMs)
- Automatic retries and error handling
- Request logging and analytics

### 5. Custom Tools

```python
@th.register_tool("my_crm_lookup")
def crm_lookup(company_name: str) -> dict:
    # Your custom logic
    return {"revenue": "10M", "employees": 50}
```
