Awesome work Cai and Andy. Do you have advice on structuring functions for best results? (eg, is it a good idea to give my agent access to things like a calculator "in case it needs it" or be careful about spoon-feeding it the tools I think it needs)
I don't think it's a good idea to give an agent tools "just in case."
We've opted for giving our agents access to a few distinct, but powerful tools, and then trusting them to combine these tools in a strategic way. It's going well so far, but we are pretty careful to clearly explain the tools.
However, I've spoken to other teams that have opted for giving their agents tons of tools, and it sounds like that can work pretty well. But everything seems to take work and experimentation.
