What is the difference between Skills and Tools. I feel both are aimed at doing things outside of Watsonx, or additional rule based logic to be built.
Yes, tool is the new skill.
Skill was what we had in the legacy platform now in maintenace mode within SKill Studio: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/watsonx/watson-orchestrate/base?topic=using-skill-based-experience
Tool is what we have in strategic agent builder we recommend you use moving forward: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/watsonx/watson-orchestrate/base?topic=getting-started-watsonx-orchestrateBut same concept / use indeed, a way to act against any back-end system, just that tool is used in an agentic context where the LLM drives the orchestration.
