Well-designed tools:

improve accuracy reduce cost enable scalability

Poor Tool Design

too much data unclear structure confusing outputs

Best Practices

manage tool outputs keep structure consistent handle errors properly

Tool Output Impact

large outputs increase token usage affects performance and cost
