Annotation Interface ToolSearchStrategySupplier

@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Target(METHOD)
public @interface ToolSearchStrategySupplier

Marks a method as a supplier of the tool search strategy that an agent uses to discover its tools. The annotated method must be static on the agent type, with no arguments other than the ones resolved through a SupplierParameterResolver, and return an instance of ToolSearchStrategy.

Example:

    public interface BankAgent {
        @Agent("A banker agent")
        String credit(@V("user") String user, @V("amountInUSD") Double amount);

        @ToolProviderSupplier
        static ToolProvider toolProvider() {
            return ToolProviders.from(bankTool, currencyConverterTool);
        }

        @ToolSearchStrategySupplier
        static ToolSearchStrategy toolSearchStrategy() {
            return new SimpleToolSearchStrategy();
        }
    }

Like every helper method, it can be an instance method of a helper object of the agent instead of a static method of the agent type: see the "Helper objects" section of the agentic tutorial and AgenticServices.AgentConfigurator.
