PRACTICE BRIEF
Write one tool-selection guide from three official sources. First review it using a fixed checklist. Then ask a second model only for unsupported statements and missing constraints. Accept changes with evidence; reject cosmetic churn. Record whether the extra stage found an issue that the original checklist missed.
