Tool proposals, conversation state, and controlled execution across software and physical systems.
Read tool calling first to separate model proposals from application authority. The memory guide adds the question of which facts remain relevant across a conversation. The robotics guide then shows why physical execution needs its own controller, current-state checks, and independent stop behavior.
Use this collection to compare how the same design question changes across tasks. Read the source-backed explanation before adapting an example. Identify which assumptions apply to your environment, which information is unavailable, and which checks must remain in ordinary application code. A reference pattern is a starting point for that review, not evidence that a connected service or deployment already exists.
Keep a small set of difficult cases as you explore: an incomplete input, conflicting evidence, a changed permission, and an operation whose result is uncertain. Record what should happen in each case. When you finish a guide, revisit those expectations instead of judging the design only by its most fluent answer. The linked articles offer complementary perspectives, so a useful reading order follows the consequences of your task rather than the publication date alone.
