Tool Result
Also known as: tool observation
A tool result is the data returned by a tool execution that is fed back into the model's context as an observation. The model then incorporates this information into its next generation. Tool results must be serialized to text or structured content that the model can process; for binary data like images or large files, results are typically summarized or referenced by a handle rather than embedded verbatim in the prompt.
