TOOL POLICY

Having a Tool does not mean the Agent may use it freely.

The Instruction needs to state clearly:

When to use a Tool → which Tool to use → how the Tool’s result is handled.

For example:

WEB SEARCH:

Use only when the request depends on current information or data not already in the Context.

CODE:

Use for calculations or data processing when accuracy is needed.

KNOWLEDGE:

Prefer the Knowledge Base when the question concerns internal methods.

Don’t use the model’s memory in place of current data

For example:

If the question depends on current data:

• Do not answer from the model’s memory.
• Fetch the data through a Tool or a provided source.

This is an important Rule for:

• finance;
• legal matters;
• policy;
• prices;
• products;
• news;
• operational data.
