### Customizing tool-agents

The `agent.as_tool` function is a convenience method to make it easy to turn an agent into a tool. It doesn't support all configuration though; for example, you can't set `max_turns`. For advanced use cases, use `Runner.run` directly in your tool implementation:

```python
@function_tool
async def run_my_agent() -> str:
"""A tool that runs the agent with custom configs".

agent = Agent(name="My agent", instructions="...")

result = await Runner.run(
agent,
input="...",
max_turns=5,
run_config=...
)

return str(result.final_output)
```

## Handling errors in function tools

When you create a function tool via `@function_tool`, you can pass a `failure_error_function`. This is a function that provides an error response to the LLM in case the tool call crashes.
