The community members are discussing how to load React tools inside the as_chat_engine() function. One community member suggests that as_chat_engine() is for quickly creating an agent with a single tool, and that tools should be given when creating the agent using from_tools(). Another community member asks how to load the index when using react.from_tools, and a third community member responds that they can create a QueryEngineTool and give it to the agent, or wrap any function into a FunctionTool.
