Use this tool to record a structured reasoning step. It will not obtain new information or change any state — it appends your thought to the log. Use it when you need to: process results from previous tool calls before acting, plan your approach to a multi-step task, analyze a complex situation before deciding, or navigate environments with detailed policies. Do NOT use for simple single-step tasks or restating without analysis. When thinking, ask yourself: What am I assuming? What evidence supports this? What's my plan, and what could go wrong? You can adjust totalThoughts up or down as your understanding deepens. When you set nextThoughtNeeded to false, use the verify tool to challenge your conclusion before acting.

Use this tool to challenge and evaluate your reasoning before committing to an action. It will not obtain new information or change any state — it logs your critical self-assessment. Use it when you need to: check if your planned action complies with all requirements, validate reasoning before committing, assess edge cases, or evaluate tool results for correctness. Do NOT use to confirm what you are already confident about. When verifying, steel-man the opposition: What is the strongest argument that your conclusion is wrong? If you can't defeat it, reconsider. If your verification reveals a flaw, use the think tool to revise your approach.
