The Reactive Agents Framework provides 10 tools with varying quality. Six playground tools (web_search, get_weather, get_crypto_price, calculate, analyze_sentiment, fetch_data) have basic function-level docstrings and parameter descriptions. Four system tools (final_answer, signal_stuck, request_strategy_switch, request_clarification) are sparse. Tool names follow verb_noun convention, but descriptions are brief (10-50 chars in many cases), and output schemas are not documented. Parameters have type information and descriptions, but lack validation constraints (enums, ranges). No evidence of pagination support, error recovery guidance, or destructive operation confirmation patterns. The framework appears to be in alpha (v0.1.0a7), with room for maturity before production use.

• Document output schemas for all tools. Define what fields are returned and their types. Example for 'web_search': { results: [{ title: string, url: string, snippet: string }], total_results: number }
• Expand system tool descriptions to 100-150 characters each, explaining when LLMs should invoke them. Example for 'signal_stuck': 'Invoke this when unable to proceed with available tools and needing framework intervention to select a different strategy or request clarification.'
• Convert free-form string parameters to enums. 'fetch_data' → data_type enum: [weather, stock, news]. 'get_weather' → location enum: [New York, London, Tokyo, Sydney].
• Add error recovery guidance to tool descriptions. Example for 'calculate': 'If the expression contains unsupported syntax, returns an error message indicating the issue. Valid operators: +, -, *, /, **, %. Supports parentheses.'
• Add min/max constraints to numeric parameters. Example for 'web_search': 'num_results must be between 1 and 20 (default 5).' Document this in the parameter description.
• For 'web_search' and 'fetch_data', specify pagination. Add offset/limit parameters or a next_cursor return field. State the result cap in the tool description (e.g., 'Returns up to 20 results').
• Add idempotency guidance to 'final_answer': 'Invoking this multiple times with the same answer is safe and has no additional side effects. Intended to be called once when the task is complete.'
• Clarify the intended role of system tools in agent control flow. Document whether they block tool execution or just signal state. Define what the agent should do after calling each one.
