Tool call usage is a core part of any agentic AI workflow. Maxim’s playground allows you to effectively test if the right tools are being chosen by the LLM and if they are getting successfully executed. In Maxim, you can create prompt tools within the library section of your workspace. These could be executable or just the schema and then attached to your prompt for testing.

By experimenting in the playground, you can now make sure your prompt is calling the right tools in specific scenarios and that the execution of the tool leads to the right responses.
