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.
