Can I use Athena as a tool inside an AI agent in Sim?

Yes — this is one of Sim's core capabilities. Instead of hard-coding when and how Athena is used, you give an AI agent access to Athena tools and describe the goal in plain language. The agent decides which tools to call, in what order, and how to handle the results. This means your automation adapts to context rather than breaking when inputs change.
