Key takeaways
  • Run a planner step before tool execution.
  • Parallelize tool calls when possible.
  • Summarize tool outputs into a single response.

Plan the tool run

Start with a planner step that enumerates the tools required for the task.

Parallelize safely

Batch tool calls that do not depend on each other to reduce latency.

Summarize results

Collapse tool outputs into a short decision memo or action plan.
