# ToolBuilder

## Overview

ToolBuilder is a builder class for constructing AI tool specifications with parameter definitions.

This class allows dynamic creation of tool specifications for AI agents, supporting string, number, and boolean parameters. It is designed to be used in scripting environments and integrates with Servoy's documentation system.

Usage example:

```js
ToolBuilder builder = new ToolBuilder(chatBuilder, toolFunction, "toolName", "Tool description");
builder.addStringParameter("param1", "Description", true)
       .addNumberParameter("param2", "Description", false)
       .build();
```
