Tool-shaped prompts
If the model can call a tool, describe the tool like an API, not a vibe. Name, arguments, side effects, and when not to call it.
Never hide a write behind a “helpful” sentence. Confirmation belongs in the product, but the prompt should not pretend the write is a thought.
This is the bridge into AI Agents. The prompt ends where the tool schema begins.
