Tools

| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| reasoning_thinkA | Structured multi-step reasoning tool. Decomposes analysis into sequential thought steps stored in a persistent session trace. USAGE PATTERN:
IMPORTANT: Pass the returned sessionId on every continuation call. The thought parameter stores YOUR reasoning verbatim — write thorough analysis in each step. Use stepSummary for a 1-sentence conclusion per step — these accumulate in the summary field for navigation. Levels: basic (1–3 steps, 2K budget), normal (4–8 steps, 8K budget), high (10–15 steps, 32K budget), expert (20–25 steps, 128K budget). Alternatives: runMode="run_to_completion" (batch, basic level only), or observation/hypothesis/evaluation fields (structured). Errors: E_SESSION_NOT_FOUND (expired — start new), E_INVALID_THOUGHT_COUNT (check level ranges). |
