## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ToolsListResponse — Response model for a list of tools. Contains a list of ToolsModel objects.
  - `tools` ToolsModel[] — List of tools

    - `updated_at` string, date-time
    - `_id` string
    - `tool_config` union — Tool Configuration

        - `logical_id` string, nullable — Unique identifier for the tool
        - `tool_id` string, nullable — Reference to the tool already created in the Workflow System. If not provided, the tool config is assumed to be provided inline here.
