Sure, you could also say that human language/action capacity is just a biological LLM with some ifs on top that give it access to actions.
In the case you describe, you can have an LLM write the tools.
Yes, the first tools and bridge code might need to be manually built. But after that it could be LLMs all the way down.
Kind of similar to writing a new programming language. At first you write it in another language but after compiling it for the first time, you can then write the language in the language itself.
