Usage Examples
from calculator import CALCULATOR_TOOLS
# Derivative: d(x³)/dx = 3x²
result = CALCULATOR_TOOLS['symbolic_derivative']('x**3', 'x')
# Solve: x² - 4 = 0
result = CALCULATOR_TOOLS['solve_equation']('x**2 - 4', 'x')
# Eigenvalues of matrix
import numpy as np
A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
result = CALCULATOR_TOOLS['numpy_linear_algebra'](A, 'eigenvalues')
# Integrate: ∫ x² dx from 0 to 1
result = CALCULATOR_TOOLS['symbolic_integral']('x**2', 'x', 0, 1)
Model Usage Policy
- Every numeric or symbolic calculation must be delegated to the tools (via MCP
tools/callor directCALCULATOR_TOOLS[...]), never hand-compute inside the model response. - Reasoning flow: pick the right tool → prepare JSON-safe inputs → call the tool → present the tool output (with minimal post-processing only for formatting).
- If a step would require arithmetic, call a tool instead (e.g., use
numpy_linear_algebrafor matrices,symbolic_*for algebra,scipy_*for calculus/optimization). - Avoid approximations unless the tool returns them; do not estimate values manually.
Prompting Playbook (Advanced Problems)
- Restate the task, list the required sub-calculations, and map each to a tool.
- For matrices, always supply
matrix_a(andmatrix_bwhen needed) as JSON arrays tonumpy_linear_algebra. - For calculus/ODE/PDE, convert expressions to plain strings (SymPy-compatible) before calling
symbolic_*orscipy_*tools. - After each tool call, reuse its exact output for subsequent steps—no manual arithmetic in between.
- When summing or solving, prefer tool outputs as inputs to the next tool (e.g., eigenvalues → use in later steps instead of recomputing).
- If the user asks for a result, return: the tool(s) called, inputs used, and the tool outputs; avoid “mental math.”
