How To Invoke a Tool

You can use natural language in your AI client to invoke a tool. Use the tool description as a guide on how to write your message. For example: Create a customer record in NetSuite for <first name> <last name>.

The client then shows a pop-up asking for permission to use an external integration tool.

Permissions for Available Tools

The permissions defined for each tool determine the visibility of the tool in the AI client. A tool is visible only if your NetSuite role has all the required permissions for that tool. However, access to data and the ability to execute tool actions still depend on your NetSuite role and permissions. You can only access data and perform operations that your NetSuite role allows, regardless of tool visibility.

For information about the permissions required to view each tool, see List of Available Tools or the tool-specific help topics.

Parameters provided to a tool call are verified. Required parameters must be included in the request. If a required parameter is missing, the AI client may either use a default value or ask for additional details.
