Question

You are defining a tool called get_weather for a Claude-powered assistant. The tool takes a city name and returns current conditions. In your testing, Claude sometimes calls the tool with vague inputs like 'the usual place' or invokes it for questions that have nothing to do with weather. Which change to your tool definition is most likely to reduce this incorrect usage?

Accepted Answer

Write a clear, specific tool description that explains exactly what the tool does, when it should be used, and what a valid city input looks like

Answer

Increase the model's temperature so it explores tool inputs more carefully

Answer

Remove the input JSON schema so Claude has more freedom to format the input

Answer

Set tool_choice to 'any' so the tool is always called for every user turn
