SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Unchecked LLM tool/function loops waste tokens, can spin forever, and often fail by throwing exceptions or returning unstructured results, leading to brittle agent behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hygienic tool-call loop design: enforces a hard iteration cap, structured loop events, and predictable termination.
  • Validated structured inputs/outputs: validates tool arguments and tool outputs against schemas to enable recovery from “model called tool wrong” vs “tool execution failed.”
  • Robust error-as-data handling: returns tool failures as structured data instead of letting exceptions crash the loop.

Quick Start

Instruct your AI agent to follow the forge-tool-use discipline by using a tool-use loop with a fixed max iterations, validating tool inputs/outputs, and returning tool results as structured content (not stringified prose) even when failures occur.

Frequently Asked Questions about forge-tool-use

FAQPage Schema
Why does my LLM agent loop spin forever when making parallel tool calls?

LLM tool loops spin forever without a hard iteration cap. Applying a capped, observable tool-use loop enforces predictable termination, stopping runaway behavior and wasted tokens during parallel tool calls.

How do I structure tool errors as data instead of crashing the agent loop?

To structure tool errors as data, return tool failures as structured content rather than letting exceptions crash the loop. This robust error-as-data handling enables the LLM to recover from execution failures.

What is the best way to validate function calling arguments in an agent workflow?

The best way to validate function calling arguments is using schema-driven tool definitions. Validating structured inputs and outputs against schemas distinguishes between a wrong model tool call and an actual tool execution failure.

Do I need schema validation for parallel tool calls in LLM applications?

Yes, schema validation is essential for parallel tool calls. Validating tool arguments and outputs against schemas enables recovery from execution failures and ensures predictable behavior across multiple concurrent function calls.

Can I use context budgeting to prevent unbounded token consumption in tool loops?

Context budgeting prevents unbounded token consumption by managing the context window during iterative tool execution. Combined with a fixed max iteration loop, it ensures predictable termination and reduces wasted tokens.

How to fix brittle agent behavior when tool outputs return unstructured results?

Fix brittle agent behavior by formatting tool outputs as structured content instead of stringified prose. Disciplined result formatting combined with schema validation ensures reliable consumption of tool execution results.
