+
+        This method can be overridden to provide custom tools that the agent
+        can use during its operation. Each tool definition follows the LiteLLM JSON
+        format and must include:
+        - "type": should always be "function" for tools.
+        - "function" → the tool metadata (name, description, and parameters).
+        - "tool_executor" → a coroutine method that actually performs the tool's action.
+
+        Refer:
+        - LiteLLM JSON Format - https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/completion/function_call#full-code---parallel-function-calling-with-gpt-35-turbo-1106
+        - OpenAI Tool JSON Format - https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/tools?tool-type=function-calling
+
+        Note:
+            - In LiteLLM, the tool metadata is wrapped inside the "function" key.
+            - This differs from OpenAI's format, where the metadata (name, description,
+            parameters) sits at the top level. Be careful when copying examples from
+            OpenAI docs.
+            - The tool executor method should be a coroutine function that returns an
+            AgentToolResult object.
+
+        Returns:
+            A list of tool definitions paired with their executors.
