33. Self-Tooling Agent (STA)

Mini-Project: Self-Tooling Agent

An agent that detects when it lacks the capability to complete a task, generates a new tool function at runtime, validates it with self-tests, registers it, and immediately uses it.

Description

A Self-Tooling Agent can create new tools for itself at runtime. When the agent encounters a task it cannot handle with existing tools, it writes a new tool function, validates it, and adds it to its own toolkit. This enables open-ended capability expansion without human intervention.
