category: structured-output
intent: >
  Given a user utterance and a list of available tools, emit a single JSON
  object naming the tool to call and its arguments — or explicitly decline when
  no tool fits, instead of forcing a bad call.
model_notes: >
  This is a "router" pattern for when you are orchestrating tools yourself
  rather than using a provider's native tool-calling. The no-match path is the
  part most hand-rolled routers get wrong.
inputs:
  - utterance: the user's request
  - tools: a list of {name, description, parameters}
