Tool: classify_and_organize_files(files)
→ You wrote the decision logic
→ Agent executes your code
→ To change behavior, you refactor

Tools: read_file, write_file, move_file, list_directory, bash
Prompt: "Organize the user's downloads folder. Analyze each file,
        determine appropriate locations based on content and recency,
        and move them there."
Agent: Operates in a loop—reads files, makes judgments, moves things,
       checks results—until the folder is organized.
→ Agent makes the decisions
→ To change behavior, you edit the prompt

"Review files modified this week. Summarize key changes. Based on
incomplete items and approaching deadlines, suggest three priorities
for next week."

const tools = [
  tool("read_file", "Read any file", { path: z.string() }, ...),
  tool("write_file", "Write any file", { path: z.string(), content: z.string() }, ...),
  tool("list_files", "List directory", { path: z.string() }, ...),
  tool("complete_task", "Signal task completion", { summary: z.string() }, ...),
];

**Step 3: Let the agent work in a loop**
```typescript
const result = await agent.run({
  prompt: userMessage,
  tools: tools,
  systemPrompt: systemPrompt,
  // Agent loops until it calls complete_task
});

// WRONG - You wrote the workflow, agent just executes it
tool("process_feedback", async ({ message }) => {
  const category = categorize(message);      // Your code decides
  const priority = calculatePriority(message); // Your code decides
  await store(message, category, priority);   // Your code orchestrates
  if (priority > 3) await notify();           // Your code decides
});

// RIGHT - Agent figures out how to process feedback
tools: store_item, send_message  // Primitives
prompt: "Rate importance 1-5 based on actionability, store feedback, notify if >= 4"

User: "Write something about Catherine the Great in my feed"
Agent: "What feed? I don't understand what system you're referring to."

// WRONG - Every API type needs a hardcoded tool
tool("read_steps", ...)
tool("read_heart_rate", ...)
tool("read_sleep", ...)
// When glucose tracking is added... code change required

// RIGHT - Dynamic capability discovery
tool("list_available_types", ...)  // Discover what's available
tool("read_health_data", { dataType: z.string() }, ...)  // Access any type

// User: "Delete that journal entry"
// Agent: "I don't have a tool for that"
tool("create_journal_entry", ...)  // Missing: update, delete
