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

- name: codex

capabilities: [implement, review]
- name: gemini
type: google
capabilities: [implement, review]
