Aniruddha's Experience: Agent Tool Calls and Search Tasks

One-sentence takeaway

Aniruddha says Ox Alpha supports many agent tool calls and search-based features and that everything tested so far worked well; without tasks, traces, or a success definition, this is a tool-use experience awaiting reproduction.

Test environment

• Entry point: A reply to OpenCode's Ox Alpha usage post; the client configuration is not disclosed.

• Tasks: No task set is published; the author mentions many agent tool calls and search capabilities.

• Outcome: The author says that everything tested so far worked well.

• Not disclosed: Tool list, search sources, call count, errors, latency, model version, and baseline model.

Conclusion

Turn this experience into a focused test of tool selection and search evidence chains. Do not interpret “many tool calls” as tool-call accuracy, or “worked well” as a benchmark score.

Reproduction steps

1. Fix tool schemas, search engine, permissions, and model version; prepare 20 tasks that require research before execution.

2. Require each run to report queries, citations, tool arguments, recovery from failures, and the final result.

3. Judge citation relevance, tool-argument correctness, completion rate, and rework with human labels or a test suite.

4. Run a fixed baseline with the same tool permissions and report model errors separately from tool/network errors.
