# CX Agent Tool Usage

When creating prompts for CX agents (or sub-agents) that need to use tools, use the following syntax to reference the tool:

`{@TOOL: name_of_tool}`

### Example

```text
<step name="Perform Action">
    <trigger>User request</trigger>
    <action>
        1. Call the tool {@TOOL: my_tool}.
        2. Use the result to respond to the user.
    </action>
</step>
```
