Routing Between Many Similar Tools
Once an agent has dozens of tools, many of them overlap, and the hard part stops being whether a tool exists and becomes which one to use. Picking the wrong near-duplicate wastes calls, and a large flat tool list makes the choice harder for the model. This skill covers routing between similar tools: describe the difference in each tool's contract, narrow the candidate set before choosing, prefer the narrowest tool that fits, and fail clearly when two tools both fit.
