Why this build, here

Suppliers in Zambia quote in kwacha from price lists often set in dollars, then add VAT. Models are bad at arithmetic and good at deciding what to do next. Tool calling gives each job to the right side.

The build, step by step

  1. Write the tools as plain functions

  2. Describe them well

  3. Write the loop yourself

  4. Handle tool failure

  5. Trace a run
