Measured routing accuracy
73 golden cases replayed through the router over the whole index: measured over corpus ea4f12ad2948 (65 toolkits, 2283 tools indexed and 13 declared uncallable), 40 cases written by hand and 33 cases from the paraphrase pass. A case counts as top-1 when its gold tool ranked first and top-8 when it reached the slate at all.
| Measure | Cases | Share |
|---|---|---|
| top-1 | 25/73 | 34.2% |
| top-8 | 55/73 | 75.3% |
The sweep is offline: the reranker is a deterministic identity fake that returns candidates in the order retrieval produced them, so top-1 measures retrieval order rather than a reranked slate. just eval-live measures the same cases through the live reranker.
Authentication
Connect an entity with ConnectionsService.InitiateConnection, naming this toolkit's slug. Credentials stay in the connections vault; callers hold connected-account ids only.
api_key
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Placement | query |
| Name | token |
| Rendered as | {key} |
Submit the key with ConnectionsService rather than putting it in a request; it is sealed at rest and never returned.
Tools
40 action tools. The catalog-wide slug is trello.<tool>, which is what search_tools returns and call_tool takes.
