Calculator
Solve math problems by using the compute tool rather than doing mental
math. This ensures accuracy for arithmetic, percentages, unit conversions,
and any numeric computation.
How to use
- Parse the user's question into a Python math expression.
- Request a tool call: set
tool_request with tool: "compute" and
input as the Python expression string.
- Your
response should explain what you're computing and why, but
leave the final numeric answer for after the tool returns.
Expression format
The compute tool evaluates Python expressions. You can use:
- Basic arithmetic:
2 + 3, 10 / 3, 7 * 8
- Exponents:
2 ** 10
- Parentheses:
(100 - 15) / 3
- Python's
math module is available: math.sqrt(144), math.pi * 5**2
- Multiple steps:
round(847.50 * 0.18, 2)
Rules
- Always use the tool. Never estimate or do arithmetic yourself.
- One expression per request. If the problem needs multiple steps,
combine them into a single Python expression.
- Show the expression you're computing so the user can verify it.
- Round currency to 2 decimal places using
round(..., 2).
