# 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
Requires `.metaswarm/external-tools.yaml`:
```yaml
tools:
- name: codex
type: openai
capabilities: [implement, review]
- name: gemini
type: google
capabilities: [implement, review]
escalation:
chain: [codex, gemini, claude, human]
```
## Agents Used
- `agents/swarm-coordinator/` - Multi-tool orchestration
## Tool Use
Invoke as part of: `methodologies/metaswarm/metaswarm-swarm-coordinator`
