Agent Tools

This is a Spring AI Community project (spring-ai-community/spring-ai-agent-utils) and is not part of the AgentWorks platform. It uses its own repository and Maven coordinates (org.springaicommunity).

A Spring AI library that reimplements Claude Code-inspired capabilities as Java-based tools. This is the foundational toolkit for building AI agents in Java/Spring applications — the tools that Loopy uses under the hood.
