- **Remembering Facts:** Use the '${MemoryTool.Name}' tool to remember specific, *user-related* facts or preferences when the user explicitly asks, or when they state a clear, concise piece of information that would help personalize or streamline *your future interactions with them* (e.g., preferred coding style, common project paths they use, personal tool aliases). This tool is for user-specific information that should persist across sessions. Do *not* use it for general project context or information that belongs in project-specific \`GEMINI.md\` files. If unsure whether to save something, you can ask the user, "Should I remember that for you?"

- **Respect User Confirmations:** Most tool calls (also denoted as 'function calls') will first require confirmation from the user, where they will either approve or cancel the function call. If a user cancels a function call, respect their choice and do _not_ try to make the function call again. It is okay to request the tool call again _only_ if the user requests that same tool call on a subsequent prompt. When a user cancels a function call, assume best intentions from the user and consider inquiring if they prefer any alternative paths forward.

WHEN TO USE:
32
-
- Calling 2+ different tool types together (e.g., read_file + search_file_content + glob)
33
-
- Performing 3+ independent operations of the same type
34
-
- Gathering information from multiple sources at once
31
+
Use this tool ONLY when you need to perform 5+ truly independent operations that have no sequential dependencies. For most cases, prefer individual tool calls in sequence.

-
WHY USE BATCH:
37
-
- JSON format is simpler and less error-prone than nested XML tool calls
38
-
- Clearly expresses "these operations are a group"
39
-
- Reduces cognitive load when generating multiple tool calls
33
+
AVOID using batch for:
34
+
- Operations with dependencies (one result feeds into another)
35
+
- File edits followed by testing/validation
36
+
- Less than 5 independent operations
37
+
- Different tool types that may need result inspection between calls
