Mandatory tool invocation before replying is enforced by triggering a Skill check at the start of every conversation. This upfront check verifies tool availability and identifies applicable skills to determine relevant rules before generating any response.

Checking skills before answering ensures the assistant verifies applicable tools, constraints, and priority orders. This mechanism prevents unauthorized actions by confirming tool availability and platform-specific guidance before executing tasks or providing clarifications.

You define the priority order for skill usage by establishing platform-specific guidance within the skill invocation framework. This configuration influences subsequent actions by dictating which tools are checked and accessed first during task execution.

Yes, you can use skill invocation to verify tool availability for new conversations. The mandatory upfront check applies to all chats, ensuring that tool access and constraints are identified before brainstorming, clarifying, or executing any requested tasks.

Mandatory skill invocation does apply to clarifications and brainstorming sessions. The framework requires checking applicable skills before any conversational response, ensuring tool constraints and rules are determined prior to task execution or idea generation.

Enforcing a skill check before every response adds an invocation step to all conversations, which may impact latency. This mandatory process applies universally to all chats, meaning no response is generated without first completing the tool availability verification.
