+### Step 2.5: Create Agent with Tools
+
+Wire the loaded tools into a new `yiemAgent` instance. The `tools` parameter is deep-copied into `agent._state.tools`; `_tool_store` is kept for runtime registration.
+
+```julia
+using YiemAgent, YiemAgent.type, YiemAgent.toolRegistry
+
+# 1. Set up ToolStore and load tools
+store = ToolStore(name="myAgent")
+loadTools(store, "src/tools")
+
+# 2. Create agent — pass tools + _tool_store
+agent = yiemAgent(
+    systemPrompt = "You are a helpful assistant.",
+    model = my_model,
+    tools = getTools(store),          # OrderedDict{String, agentTool}
+    llmCall = my_llm_call,            # Function that calls the LLM API
+    agentEventSink = my_event_sink,   # Function for TUI/logging
+    _tool_store = store,              # For runtime registerTool() calls
+)
+```
+
+**Manual registration** (without `loadTools`):
+
+```julia
+store = ToolStore(name="myAgent")
+registerTool(store, getTime_tool)
+registerTool(store, getWeather_tool)
+
+agent = yiemAgent(
+    tools = getTools(store),
+    llmCall = my_llm_call,
+    agentEventSink = my_event_sink,
+    _tool_store = store,
+)
+```
+
+**Key constructor parameters:**
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Purpose |
+|-----------|------|----------|---------|
+| `systemPrompt` | `String` | No (default: "You are helpful assistant.") | System prompt text |
+| `model` | `llmModel` | No | LLM model config |
+| `tools` | `OrderedDict{String, agentTool}` | No | Available tools (deep-copied) |
+| `messages` | `Vector{agentMessage}` | No (default: empty) | Initial conversation history |
+| `llmCall` | `Function` | **Yes** | `(messages::Dict) -> assistantMessage` — invokes the LLM |
+| `agentEventSink` | `Function` | **Yes** | `(event) -> nothing` — receives tool lifecycle events |
+| `_tool_store` | `ToolStore` | No | Runtime tool registry for `registerTool()` |
+
+Optional hooks: `prepareContext`, `formatMsgForLLM`, `beforeToolCall`, `afterToolCall`, `sessionId`, `maxRetryDelayMs`, `parallelToolExecute`.

 ### Step 3: Use — Tool Execution
 
 Tools can be used in two ways:
