Routing tools
Lets the agent hand a hard task to the stronger power model.
- On or off by default
- on
- Who can switch it
- agent on request
- Why it is a group
- Tools with the same purpose and risk are switched together, so the model sees fewer tools.
- Number of tools
- 1
Typical uses
- Hand off a hard design task
- Ask for a stronger model when unsure
- Escalate after repeated failures
Risks
The tool is only shown when a power model is set, auto routing is on, the low-confidence trigger is on and no tier is pinned.
