Summary

  • Introduces the Coerce to Interface pattern for standardizing agent behavior through MCP tool interface design
  • Uses required fields, enums, and typed parameters as constraints the agent cannot bypass
  • Shifts enforcement from instructions to mechanism - interface design itself becomes the constraint

Example

The pattern is demonstrated through a Learning MCP where the tool interface enforces identical anatomy for all learnings, making them immediately searchable, filterable, and linkable.
