External tool integration

Note

This documentation is for Amazon Nova Version 1. For the Amazon Nova 2 Speech-to-Speech prompt engineering guide, visit Voice conversation prompts.

When you use external tools with Amazon Nova Sonic, we recommend the following:

  • Design tool invocations to handle potential automatic speech recognition errors in user input.

  • Account for the fact that users can't see the tools being used.

  • Provide verbal confirmation when tools are being consulted.
