Keep Agent Zero wrapper examples out of native function descriptions and expose the response text schema.\n\nRoute concatenated tool envelopes through repair before the plain response hook can render them as final text.
Keep response tool calls at the top level so they can end the parent message loop instead of forcing an unnecessary follow-up turn.\n\nDocument the parallel constraint and cover both runtime rejection and prompt guidance.
Require complete standalone text requests for execution while accepting supported text-tool formats. Route fenced and structurally broken tool intent through the existing misformat repair path so streamed chats do not remain in a thinking state.
Reject document_query during parallel tool-call normalization before worker jobs are started. Add prompt guidance so the model avoids batching document_query, and update DOX plus regressions for the new sequential-only contract.
- document that parallel accepts full reply-shaped tool call objects and ignores planning-only fields
- steer prompt guidance toward one mixed batch for ready independent calls instead of splitting by tool type
- add normalization and prompt regression coverage plus matching DOX notes
Standardize multi-action tools around tool_args.action while keeping parser compatibility for older tool/args, tool_name:action, and method-shaped requests. This keeps new prompts clean without breaking agents that learned the previous dialect.
Move A0 connector remote execution/file tools into stable standard prompts, make remote targeting independent of the active chat context, and skill-gate beta computer-use remote so it no longer weighs down the always-on tool list.
Align text editor, scheduler, skills, office artifact, memory, notify, and browser prompts/tools around the canonical action contract. Add scheduler update/timezone handling, skills_tool read_file, text editor patch coverage, and fixes for memory_forget, behaviour_adjustment, and code execution progress warnings.
Reduce default prompt pressure by compacting browser and scheduler prompts into skill-backed manifests, shortening skill catalog descriptions, and pruning noisy framework knowledge. Remove obsolete connector prompt stubs and root tool-call knowledge examples.
