 "title": "Check agent tool calls before they run",
 "page_title": "How to check agent tool calls before they run with Awesome Decision Models",
 "summary": "Score a proposed tool call against your own allowed options before the agent executes it.",
 "who": "An engineer building a Strands agent who wants a fast check on each tool call, using a model that runs on a local GPU or CPU.",
 "problem": "Agents can call the wrong tool or run a risky action, and a second full model call on every step adds latency and cost.",
 "outcome": "A probability for each allowed action on each proposed tool call, so the agent can block or ask for approval on low-probability actions.",
 "steps": [
  "Open the Open Models section and read the Strands Decider 2B entry, which describes checking Strands agent tool calls before they run.",
  "Clone the project from the strands-labs/strands-decider GitHub link and read its setup instructions.",
  "Define your allowed actions as the options and the pending tool call as the state.",
  "Add a check in your agent loop that reads the option probabilities and blocks calls below your threshold.",
  "Log blocked and allowed calls and review them against real runs."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using github.com/strands-labs/strands-decider linked from github.com/AnotiaWang/awesome-decision-models, set up the Strands Decider 2B model and score the pending tool call in <tool-call-file> against the allowed actions in <allowed-actions-file>. Expected output: a probability per allowed action and a block or allow decision. Verify that a call outside the allowed list gets a low probability on every option.",
