# Decision Tools

Use these tools when you need structured, typed decisions rather than free-form LLM text. Decision models return machine-readable answers with probabilities and confidence scores.

## decision_decide

Send a state (context) and one or more typed questions to a decision model.

### Question Types

| Type | Purpose | Criteria | Answer Fields |
|------|---------|----------|---------------|
| `choice` | Classify into one of N options | `{option: description}` map | `choice`, `probabilities`, `confidence` |
| `score` | Rate on a scale | `[level_labels]` array | `score`, `legend`, `probabilities`, `confidence` |
| `noul` | Estimate a probability (0-1) | _(none)_ | `noul` |

### Basic usage (choice + noul):
```bash
tai tool decision_decide --state "Customer says: my billing is wrong, I was charged twice" --questions '{"department":{"type":"choice","instructions":"Route to the right department","criteria":{"billing":"Payment issues","technical":"Product bugs","sales":"Purchase inquiries"}},"is_urgent":{"type":"noul","instructions":"Is this urgent?"}}'
```

### With score question:
```bash
tai tool decision_decide --state "The agent resolved the issue in 2 minutes with a clear explanation" --questions '{"quality":{"type":"score","instructions":"Rate the support quality","criteria":["Poor","Below average","Average","Good","Excellent"]}}'
```

### With explicit provider:
```bash
tai tool decision_decide --state "some context" --questions '{"q1":{"type":"noul","instructions":"Is this positive?"}}' --provider t862699292876.typesafe
```

### With model override:
```bash
tai tool decision_decide --state "some context" --questions '{"q1":{"type":"noul","instructions":"Is this positive?"}}' --model jev-latest
```
