# GETAGENTTOOL

## Overview

The GETAGENTTOOL workflow application allows you to extract a tool and its information from a list of tools that can be provided by an application such as [OPENAICHAT](/admin/workflow-applications/openai/openaichat.md).

## How it works

* The application allows you to extract the name, identifier, and parameters of the tool being manipulated.
* It's also possible to extract the parameters one by one by specifying the name of the parameter directly in the name.
