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
