Calculator Tool
Domain: Tools & Function Calling
🎯 Motivation
A tool for exact arithmetic. LLMs are bad at math (they approximate); calculators are exact.
📋 Concrete Example
LLM alone: ‘What is 2347 * 891?’ might say ‘2,091,000’ (wrong). With calculator: exact answer 2,091,177. The calculator tool eliminates math errors.
🔗 Analogy
A student using a calculator vs mental math - mental math might give ‘about 2 million’ (LLM approximation). A calculator gives the exact answer. Calculator tools make agents precise at math.
