02 / What is Cargo-AI?
Cargo-AI is an agent build tool.
It builds on Cargo, Rust's build system, so you can create agents that run locally, package them with their tools, and share them with other builders.
Readable JSON
Describe the agent declaratively: inputs, runtime settings, outputs, and actions that make the workflow explicit.
Rust Tools
Add project-local tools when the workflow needs reliable behavior: file writes, API calls, or custom advanced tools specific to your needs.
Portable Project
Run locally, inspect the code and artifacts, keep the workflow as a soft agent or hard agent, and package it with tools so other builders can pull and run it.
