-"""Load tools."""
+"""Tools provide access to various resources and services.
+
+LangChain has a large ecosystem of integrations with various external resources
+like local and remote file systems, APIs and databases.
+
+These integrations allow developers to create versatile applications that combine the
+power of LLMs with the ability to access, interact with and manipulate external
+resources.
+
+When developing an application, developers should inspect the capabilities and
+permissions of the tools that underlie the given agent toolkit, and determine
+whether permissions of the given toolkit are appropriate for the application.
