Ehsan's Insight
A tool registry is the most important architectural decision in agent design because it determines what the agent can do and how well it can do it. A registry with 50 poorly described tools produces worse results than one with 10 well-described tools. Each tool description should include: what the tool does, what it does NOT do, required parameters with types and constraints, expected output format, and common error conditions. I have seen tool registries where the description for a database query tool simply said "queries the database." After rewriting it to specify supported query types, parameter constraints, and return format, tool selection accuracy improved from 68% to 93%.
