Should these tools be composed into one, or kept separate? Tools in question: [LIST WITH DESCRIPTIONS] How the agent currently uses them: [DESCRIBE THE SEQUENCE] Assess: 1. Do these always occur together, or only sometimes? 2. Does the agent make a meaningful decision between them? 3. What does the intermediate result tell the agent that it needs? 4. What would be lost by composing them? 5. What would be gained: fewer round trips, less context consumed, fewer chances to get the sequence wrong Recommend: - Compose, keep separate, or offer both - If composing, the combined tool's schema and description - If keeping separate, the ordering guidance for the system prompt Rule of thumb to apply: compose when the agent has no real decision to make between the steps, and the intermediate result is not something it needs to reason about.
