The prompt
Given the task below and a catalog of available tools, select the minimal subset of tools the agent needs.
For each chosen tool, state why it is necessary, what input it requires, and what failure mode it covers.
Then list any tools in the catalog that look tempting but are not needed, and why excluding them reduces risk.
Task: {{task}}
Tool catalog: {{tools}}Replace the {{fields}} with your own context and tighten the rules to match your domain.
