Ensures your nodes declare whether they can be used as tools in AI workflows. This property helps n8n determine if your node is suitable for AI-assisted automation.

## Examples

### ❌ Incorrect

```typescript
export class MyNode implements INodeType {
  description: INodeTypeDescription = {
    displayName: 'My Node',
    name: 'myNode',
    group: ['input'],
    version: 1,
    // Missing usableAsTool property
    properties: [],
  };
}
```

### ✅ Correct

```typescript
export class MyNode implements INodeType {
  description: INodeTypeDescription = {
    displayName: 'My Node',
    name: 'myNode',
    group: ['input'],
    version: 1,
    usableAsTool: true,
    properties: [],
  };
}
```
