The five steps to fix tool-calling problems are, in order: remove overlapping tools from the same round, rename tools so they are mutually exclusive, shorten descriptions by increasing contrast, strictly constrain parameters, and disable parallel tool calls in side-effect scenarios.

UnverifiedWhen mixing inline tools with traditional static tool sets, it is recommended to define clear trigger conditions for each tool change and to write the applicable boundaries of tools clearly in the system message, so as to avoid the model continuing to attempt calls when the old tools are no longer valid.69% similarUnverifiedAs tools multiply, a tool confusion problem arises where tools are not called when they should be and are called when they should not be; the Skill mechanism solves this problem by codifying workflows and significantly improves task completion accuracy.68% similarUnverifiedA common mistake is making all functionality into Tools, which forces the model to select from a large number of tools and causes every tool description to consume tokens.66% similarUnverifiedIf an agent frequently selects the wrong tool or passes the wrong parameters, one should prioritize optimizing the prompt, tool descriptions, and model selection, rather than switching the tool protocol (such as switching from function calling to MCP).66% similar
