```python theme={null}
Interoperable(*args, **kwargs)
```

A Protocol defining the interoperability interface for tool conversion.<br />This protocol ensures that any class implementing it provides the method
`convert_tool` to convert a given tool into a desired format or type.

<b>Parameters:</b>

| Name       | Description |
| ---------- | ----------- |
| `*args`    |             |
| `**kwargs` |             |

```

Returns the reason for the tool being unsupported.<br />This method should be implemented by any class adhering to the `Interoperable` protocol.<br />Returns: <br />    str: The reason for the interoperability class being unsupported.

<b>Returns:</b>

| Type        | Description                                                       |
