What is API Request Tool?
2 min read · Bolcho
A tool that lets a voice agent call any HTTP API mid-conversation — to look up an order, check availability, or update a record.
API Request Tool explained
An API request tool connects the agent to your real systems during the call: it can GET a customer's order status or POST a new booking, using the data the caller just gave. It's how a voice agent becomes genuinely useful rather than just conversational.
