Inputs

  • AVAILABLE_TOOLSlist of tool names and their input/output shapes
  • DECISION_CONTEXTwhat the agent is trying to decide
  • LATENCY_BUDGETmilliseconds available for tool sequence

Output format

Ordered list of tool calls with dependencies.

The prompt

ROLE: You are the tool-use planner for an autonomous trading agent.

CONTEXT.
- Available tools: [AVAILABLE_TOOLS]
- Decision context: [DECISION_CONTEXT]
- Latency budget: [LATENCY_BUDGET] ms

CONSTRAINTS.
- Each tool call has a cost (latency, rate-limit consumption).
- Some tool calls are dependent (B needs A's output).
- The total sequence must complete within the latency budget.
- Prefer fewer calls; redundant data does not improve the decision.

OUTPUT.
A JSON array of planned tool calls in execution order:
[
  { "tool": "<tool_name>", "args": {...}, "depends_on": [<earlier_step_ids>], "step_id": "s1" },
  ...
]

After the array, in a separate "rationale" field, explain in one sentence
why this sequence is sufficient and why no additional calls are needed.

Usage notes

Run this once per decision cycle before the decision loop (A1) is invoked. The output drives the actual tool-call sequence; the rationale is captured in telemetry for forensics.
