Refresh Tools • AI Agent SDK

</div>

This is a method of the Agent class in the agent module.

Re-derive the live toolset from `self.tools`.

Per-turn tool assembly already reads from `self.tools directly, so tools added/removed via add_mcp_server/remove_mcp_server are picked up automatically on the next turn. This method clears any cached tool definitions so callers (or an MCP tools/list_changed` event) can force an immediate refresh, and returns the current toolset.

Signature

def refresh_tools() -> List[Any]

Returns

Used By

• Agent.add_mcp_server
• Agent.remove_mcp_server
