The model's tool-triggering decision is essentially a probabilistic threshold problem: when confidence exceeds the threshold the model tends to answer directly, and only triggers retrieval when confidence falls below it.

UnverifiedLonger inference time does not always yield better results; models may fall into the trap of overthinking, and what truly determines output quality is the model's foundational capabilities and degree of alignment.76% similarUnverifiedClarifying follow-up questions are considered the most direct strategy for handling intent uncertainty, meaning the model proactively asks for clarification when its confidence falls below a threshold rather than rashly calling a tool.74% similarUnverifiedThe effort parameter controls how much the model thinks rather than how much it says; reducing effort does not reliably shorten visible responses, and controlling response length requires explicit prompting.73% similarUnverifiedLarge language models commonly suffer from overconfidence and require prompt engineering and calibration strategies to calibrate confidence levels.73% similar
