CrewAI Tools

Overview

CrewAI Tools is the official toolbox for CrewAI agents. Each tool works seamlessly with CrewAI’s role-based multi-agent system, where different agents specialize in research, analysis, writing, or coding — and each gets the right tools for their role.

How It Works

1. Install — pip install crewai-tools
2. Pick tools — Choose from 15+ pre-built tools
3. Assign to agents — Give each CrewAI agent its role-specific tools
4. Run — Agents use tools autonomously during tasks

Use Cases

• Research crews — Agents with search and web scraping tools
• Content crews — Agents with file and web tools
• Data analysis — Agents with CSV and database tools
• Development — Agents with GitHub and code tools

Getting Started

from crewai import Agent
from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool, WebsiteSearchTool

researcher = Agent(
    role="Senior Researcher",
    goal="Find comprehensive information",
    tools=[SerperDevTool(), WebsiteSearchTool()],
)

Example

from crewai_tools import SerperDevTool, FileReadTool, CSVSearchTool

search = SerperDevTool()
result = search.run("latest AI agent frameworks 2026")
