tool-design

Poorly described tool interfaces cause ambiguous activations and brittle agent routing. A standardized tool-description framework enforces explicit purpose, activation triggers, and parameter definitions to reduce routing errors.

Design agent-facing tool schemas by enforcing descriptive sections for purpose, activation triggers, parameter definitions, return schemas, and error handling to establish clear contracts across tool catalogs.

Audit existing tools by applying a principled interface design framework that checks for consistent naming, actionable error handling, and complete return schemas to identify and resolve ambiguity.

Reduce ambiguity in large tool collections by applying consistent description practices that guide when to combine or split tools, ensuring clear contracts and scalable agent routing.

Tool descriptions should include explicit sections for purpose, activation triggers, parameter definitions, return formats, and error handling to enforce clear contracts and improve routing accuracy.
