External Tool Coordination

Overview

When configured via .metaswarm/external-tools.yaml, coordinate external AI tools for delegated implementation and cross-model adversarial review.

When to Use

  • When external AI tools are configured and available
  • For cross-model adversarial review (writer reviewed by different model)
  • When delegating implementation to cheaper external models
  • For escalation chains across tools

Capabilities

  • Delegated Implementation - Send work units to external AI tools for implementation
  • Cross-Model Review - Implementation by Model A, adversarial review by Model B
  • Escalation Chains - Tool A -> Tool B -> Claude -> human
  • Cost Optimization - Route simpler tasks to cheaper models

Configuration

Requires .metaswarm/external-tools.yaml:

yaml
tools:
  - name: codex
    type: openai
    capabilities: [implement, review]
  - name: gemini
    type: google
    capabilities: [implement, review]
escalation:
  chain: [codex, gemini, claude, human]
