Anthropic AI has recently unveiled a beta version of its “tool use” feature for the Claude suite of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models, accessible to all users of the Anthropic Message API.
This innovative feature permits users to enhance Claude with the ability to connect to external tools, thereby facilitating real-time information searches and the integration of third-party functionalities directly into Claude’s operations.
Users can implement straightforward code snippets within their account API interface, enabling Claude to incorporate external data into its dialogues.
An example highlighted by Anthropic demonstrates the integration of a third-party stock ticker into the AI model using around ten lines of code.
This integration allows Claude to obtain and relay stock prices directly from the source, ensuring accuracy and eliminating the reliance on potentially outdated web searches.
The “tool use” functionality in Claude is underpinned by a chain-of-thought reasoning model, empowering the AI to handle complex commands and integrate multiple third-party services.
This advanced capability enables Claude to manage multifaceted queries and perform detailed, step-by-step information processing and integration.
Anthropic states that Claude’s AI models are adept at handling a wide array of tool requests.
According to the company, “All models can handle correcting [sic] choosing a tool from 250+ tools provided the user query contains all necessary parameters for the intended tool with >90% accuracy.

These limits apply to the total number of tools, regardless of complexity.”
The crypto, Web3, and blockchain sectors stand to gain significantly from Claude’s tool use capabilities, as integrations developed for the platform can be seamlessly utilized within its API structure.
This opens up a plethora of potential applications, from integrating trusted real-time price tickers to achieving full interoperability with decentralized exchange interfaces.
Furthermore, users have the opportunity to link wallet managers and portfolio trackers to Claude, facilitating the creation of comprehensive trading workflows.
However, it’s important to acknowledge that AI models, including Claude, are susceptible to errors. Despite the reliability of integrations, Claude, as a general-purpose chatbot, is not specifically tailored for financial, cryptocurrency, or blockchain applications, which means that errors in outputs are still a possibility.
