UnverifiedTools that differ by only one parameter should be merged into a single tool plus an enum field (such as list_orders with a status enum), rather than keeping multiple separate tools.75% similarUnverifiedIf a tool's schema contains a dozen-plus parameters, each with a description and enum constraints, its token volume can far exceed that of ten tools with only a single string parameter.75% similarUnverifiedWhen 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of tools clearly in the system message, so as to avoid the model continuing to attempt calls when the old tools are no longer valid.74% similarUnverifiedEven when Skills are not invoked, simply listing them in the available tools list consumes token space in the context window in the form of Tool Definitions.71% similarUnverifiedAn abstract tool stub is a hypothetical function signature generated by the LLM that does not point to any existing concrete tool in the registry, but instead declares in a structured way the inputs, outputs and capabilities required by the task.71% similar
