Tool guardrails provide deterministic checks around custom function-tool calls, including validation or blocking before execution and handling results after execution. Tool calls can also be configured to require human approval, enabling intervention and escalation when needed.

Input properties are values derived from the agent context and presented to the user for a particular agent run.

Zero-shot prompting relies on a model’s existing pretrained capabilities to perform a requested task without task-specific examples or prior training for that particular request.
