Individual skill

scienceworld-tool-validator

Use when the agent has acquired a tool or instrument and needs to verify it is operational before first use in a critical task step. This skill performs a lightweight pre-use check via "focus on [TOOL] in inventory" and confirms readiness based on the system's response, ensuring the tool is functional before measurement, activation, or connection operations.

# Skill: scienceworld-tool-validator

## Purpose

Perform a pre-use functionality check on a tool or instrument to confirm it is operational before employing it in a critical ScienceWorld task step such as measurement, activation, or connection.

## When to Use

- Immediately after acquiring a tool (e.g., `pick up thermometer`) and before its first use
- When switching to a different tool mid-task and needing to confirm readiness
- When resuming a task after navigation and needing to re-confirm tool availability

## Workflow

1. **Acquire the tool** -- Ensure the target tool is in inventory. If not, locate it with `look around` and retrieve it with `pick up [TOOL]`.
