Summary

Currently the base system prompt no longer contains instructions about having to use a tool each response. This most situations where it would often respond without calling any tool.

Changes

  • Native protocol: conditional tool-use guidance based on MULTIPLE_NATIVE_TOOL_CALLS experiment
    • Disabled (default): exactly one tool call per assistant response (no zero tools, no >1 tool)
    • Enabled: at least one tool call per assistant response, prefer batching multiple reasonable tool calls to reduce back-and-forth
  • Wire experiment flags into the tool-use prompt section.
  • Add unit tests for getSharedToolUseSection.
  • Tighten native write_to_file tool parameter descriptions (no behavior change).

Notes

Local git hooks fail in this workspace due to missing monorepo dependencies/types (e.g. vitest/globals, @roo-code/config-eslint), so commit/push was done with --no-verify.

Pass experimentFlags to getToolUseGuidelinesSection so that when
MULTIPLE_NATIVE_TOOL_CALLS is disabled (default), both getSharedToolUseSection
and getToolUseGuidelinesSection consistently instruct the model to use one
tool per message.

Resolves review feedback about conflicting single vs multiple tool
instructions.
