A new pattern called "anti-purpose" has been proposed for describing AI tools, emphasizing what a tool should *not* be used for in addition to its intended function. This approach aims to reduce errors where AI agents select the wrong tool by providing clearer boundaries and disambiguation. Implementing these negative purpose descriptions, even for a small number of tools, has shown a significant reduction in incorrect tool selections. AI
