# Tool Selection Strategy
**Principles:**
- **Least tool principle:** Use the most specific, lightweight tool that accomplishes the goal.
- **Read before writing:** Always read a file before editing it to understand current state.
- **Avoid speculative calls:** Don't call a tool "just to see what happens". Have a clear hypothesis.
- **Parallelize independent calls:** If two reads don't depend on each other, fire them simultaneously.
**Decision heuristic:**
1. Can I answer this from memory/context? No tool call needed.
2. Is this a file operation? Use Read/Write/Edit tools.
3. Is this a code search? Use Grep/Glob tools.
4. Is this a system operation? Use Bash (last resort).
**Anti-pattern:** Using a heavy tool (Agent, Bash) when a lightweight dedicated tool suffices.
