+<p>This approach is incredibly scalable, as one configuration entry can bootstrap an entire suite of dynamically generated tools.</p>

+<h2 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="managing-tool-lifecycles-with-init-and-cleanup">Managing Tool Lifecycles with <code>init</code> and <code>cleanup</code><a href="#managing-tool-lifecycles-with-init-and-cleanup" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to managing-tool-lifecycles-with-init-and-cleanup" title="Direct link to managing-tool-lifecycles-with-init-and-cleanup"></a></h2>
+<p>For tools that need to manage resources—such as database connections, API clients, or temporary files—Solace Agent Mesh provides optional <code>init</code> and <code>cleanup</code> lifecycle hooks. These allow you to run code when the agent starts up and shuts down, ensuring that resources are acquired and released gracefully.</p>
+<p>There are two ways to define these hooks:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>YAML-based (<code>init_function</code>, <code>cleanup_function</code>):</strong> A flexible method that works for <em>any</em> Python tool, including simple function-based ones.</li>
+<li><strong>Class-based (<code>init</code>, <code>cleanup</code> methods):</strong> The idiomatic and recommended way for <code>DynamicTool</code> and <code>DynamicToolProvider</code> classes.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="yaml-based-lifecycle-hooks">YAML-Based Lifecycle Hooks<a href="#yaml-based-lifecycle-hooks" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to YAML-Based Lifecycle Hooks" title="Direct link to YAML-Based Lifecycle Hooks"></a></h3>
+<p>You can add <code>init_function</code> and <code>cleanup_function</code> to any Python tool&#x27;s configuration in your agent&#x27;s YAML. The lifecycle functions must be defined in the same module as the tool itself.</p>
+<h4 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="step-1-define-the-tool-and-hook-functions">Step 1: Define the Tool and Hook Functions<a href="#step-1-define-the-tool-and-hook-functions" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to Step 1: Define the Tool and Hook Functions" title="Direct link to Step 1: Define the Tool and Hook Functions"></a></h4>
+<p>In your tool&#x27;s Python file (e.g., <code>src/my_agent/db_tools.py</code>), define the tool function and its corresponding <code>init</code> and <code>cleanup</code> functions. These functions must be <code>async</code> and will receive the agent component instance and the tool&#x27;s configuration model object as arguments.</p>

+<p>For tools built with <code>DynamicTool</code> or <code>DynamicToolProvider</code>, the recommended approach is to override the <code>init</code> and <code>cleanup</code> methods directly within the class. This co-locates the entire tool&#x27;s logic and improves encapsulation.</p>

+<p>It&#x27;s important to understand the order in which lifecycle hooks are executed, especially if you mix both YAML-based and class-based methods for a single tool.</p>
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Initialization (<code>init</code>):</strong> All <code>init</code> hooks are awaited during agent startup. A failure in any <code>init</code> hook will prevent the agent from starting.</p>
+<ol>
+<li>The YAML-based <code>init_function</code> is executed first.</li>
+<li>The class-based <code>init()</code> method is executed second.</li>
+</ol>
+</li>
+<li>
+<p><strong>Cleanup (<code>cleanup</code>):</strong> All registered <code>cleanup</code> hooks are executed during agent shutdown. They run in <strong>LIFO (Last-In, First-Out)</strong> order relative to initialization.</p>
+<ol>
+<li>The class-based <code>cleanup()</code> method is executed first.</li>
+<li>The YAML-based <code>cleanup_function</code> is executed second.</li>
+</ol>
+</li>
+</ul>
+<p>This LIFO order for cleanup is intuitive: the resource that was initialized last is the first one to be torn down.</p>

+<p>For any class-based tool (<code>DynamicTool</code> or <code>DynamicToolProvider</code>) that requires configuration, this is the recommended pattern. By linking a Pydantic model to your tool class, you can add automatic validation and type safety to your <code>tool_config</code>. This provides several key benefits:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><strong>Automatic Validation:</strong> The agent will fail to start if the YAML configuration doesn&#x27;t match your model, providing clear error messages.</li>
+<li><strong>Type Safety:</strong> Inside your tool, <code>self.tool_config</code> is a fully typed Pydantic object, not a dictionary, enabling autocompletion and preventing common errors.</li>
+<li><strong>Self-Documentation:</strong> The Pydantic model itself serves as clear, machine-readable documentation for your tool&#x27;s required configuration.</li>
+</ul>
+<h3 class="anchor anchorWithStickyNavbar_LWe7" id="example-1-using-a-pydantic-model-with-a-single-dynamictool">Example 1: Using a Pydantic Model with a Single <code>DynamicTool</code><a href="#example-1-using-a-pydantic-model-with-a-single-dynamictool" class="hash-link" aria-label="Direct link to example-1-using-a-pydantic-model-with-a-single-dynamictool" title="Direct link to example-1-using-a-pydantic-model-with-a-single-dynamictool"></a></h3>
