A Claude agent in a pipeline performs a final synthesis step where it must reason about previously extracted data without calling any external systems. Which `tool_choice` configuration is most appropriate for this step?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. {"type": "none"}. `tool_choice: "none"` prevents Claude from calling any tools, forcing a pure text reasoning and synthesis response. This is appropriate for analysis or synthesis steps where external tool invocation would be unnecessary or disruptive. `"auto"` might allow Claude to call tools it judges relevant. `"any"` forces a tool call, which is the opposite of the desired behavior. Option D specifies a tool name that would need to exist in the tools list and forces that specific tool.
