Can Agent input argument for tool(s)?

Some of the tools e.g. ScrapeWebsiteTool has a mandatory argument (URL in this case) to perform. Are agents able to provide such arguments? For example if i’m building a tool that will need to scrape websites based in specific input and or an agent decides which URLs based on their reasoning / attempt to complete the task. thank you!

another example in seleniumscrapingtool, # Example 1 is to leave the argument blank to scrape any website it finds during execution…then in the Arguments section below the website_url argument is Mandatory (along with css_element).
