[Feature Request] Dynamic tool loading and use tool via code execute
Required prerequisites
- [x] I have searched the Issue Tracker and Discussions that this hasn't already been reported. (+1 or comment there if it has.)
- [x] Consider asking first in a Discussion.
Motivation
With the development of MCP and the need for agents to handle long-running tasks, agents typically preload many tools, which incurs significant token overhead. Is there a way to store tool descriptions and other information in the file system, allowing the agent to dynamically load tools and use them through code execution?

To implement this feature, we can proceed in two steps:
Step 1: First, try to achieve this through a prompt-based approach — allowing an agent equipped with a terminal to execute tools programmatically by writing code.
from camel.toolkits import SearchToolkit
from camel.toolkits import ResendToolkit
search_toolkit = SearchToolkit()
resend_toolkit = ResendToolkit()
result = search_toolkit.search_wiki("What is the capital of France?")
resend_toolkit.send_email(
to=["[email protected]"],
subject="Search Result",
text=result,
)
Step 2: Then, integrate this capability natively into ChatAgent, so that the agent can autonomously invoke such tools without relying solely on prompt-based execution.
We can start with Step 1 first.
