Tool Preamble

A Tool Preamble is a tool explanation user interface element that provides tool usage context before tool function calls in LLM agent interactions.

• AKA: Tool Usage Explanation, Function Call Preamble, Tool Context Message.
• Context:
  • It can typically explain Tool Preamble Purposes through tool preamble description text.
  • It can typically clarify Tool Preamble Actions via tool preamble intention statements.
  • It can typically enhance Tool Preamble Transparency through tool preamble operation details.
  • It can typically improve Tool Preamble User Understanding via tool preamble plain language.
  • It can typically manage Tool Preamble User Expectations through tool preamble timing information.
  • ...
  • It can often reduce Tool Preamble User Confusion with tool preamble clear explanations.
  • It can often increase Tool Preamble User Trust through tool preamble transparency levels.
  • It can often optimize Tool Preamble Message Length via tool preamble conciseness balance.
  • It can often customize Tool Preamble Content based on tool preamble user preferences.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Brief Tool Preamble to being a Detailed Tool Preamble, depending on its tool preamble information depth.
  • It can range from being a Generic Tool Preamble to being a Specific Tool Preamble, depending on its tool preamble customization level.
  • It can range from being a Static Tool Preamble to being a Dynamic Tool Preamble, depending on its tool preamble adaptation capability.
  • It can range from being a Technical Tool Preamble to being a User-Friendly Tool Preamble, depending on its tool preamble language style.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with LLM Function Calling APIs for tool preamble execution context.
  • It can connect to Reasoning Effort Parameters for tool preamble detail levels.
  • It can interface with Verbosity Parameters for tool preamble length control.
  • It can synchronize with Agentic Workflow Systems for tool preamble timing coordination.
  • It can communicate with User Experience Designs for tool preamble presentation style.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Tool Preamble Implementations, such as:
    • Web Search Tool Preamble displaying "Searching the web for current information about X..." before web search execution.
    • Code Execution Tool Preamble showing "Running Python code to analyze your data..." before code interpreter activation.
    • File Access Tool Preamble presenting "Accessing the uploaded document to extract information..." before file reading operation.
  • Tool Preamble Patterns, such as:
    • Progressive Tool Preamble Pattern providing tool preamble increasing details for tool preamble complex operations.
    • Contextual Tool Preamble Pattern adapting tool preamble message content based on tool preamble usage scenarios.
    • Multi-Step Tool Preamble Pattern explaining tool preamble workflow sequences for tool preamble chained operations.
  • Tool Preamble Applications, such as:
    • API Call Tool Preambles for tool preamble external services with tool preamble latency warnings.
    • Database Query Tool Preambles showing tool preamble data retrievals with tool preamble privacy assurances.
    • Calculation Tool Preambles indicating tool preamble computation processes with tool preamble accuracy notes.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • Silent Tool Execution, which performs tool operations without user notifications.
  • Technical Log Message, which provides system-level details rather than user-friendly explanations.
  • Post-Execution Summary, which explains tool results after completion rather than tool intentions before execution.
