get_improvement_guide
Returns the Ada Entity Improvement Guide — a static reference describing Ada entity types (articles, coaching, playbooks, actions, custom instructions, company description) and best practices for making improvement suggestions.
Call this before proposing changes with propose_change so the assistant chooses the right entity type and follows Ada’s recommended improvement workflow.
Example prompts
- “What types of Ada entities can I use to improve my Agent?”
- “Before we make changes, pull up the improvement guide.”
- “What’s the recommended way to fix a knowledge gap vs. a behavior issue?”
Parameters
This tool takes no parameters.
Response
Returns markdown covering:
- Entity types — when to use articles, coaching, playbooks, actions, custom instructions, and company description.
- Making good improvements — recommended workflow, guidelines, and example suggestion formats.
- Search-first guidance — use
search_knowledgeandsearch_coachingbefore creating duplicates.
The guide recommends prioritizing knowledge articles and playbooks over coaching when addressing root causes. Coaching is best for targeted behavior guidance, not as a substitute for missing knowledge or unstructured workflows.
