If AI agent drops steps on complex tasks, add TodoWriteTool-a #SpringAI tool that enables LLMs to create, track, and update task lists during execution. It transforms implicit planning into explicit, trackable workflows.

JSON is the go-to format for LLM tool responses, but alternatives like TOON, XML, CSV, YAML can potentially improve token efficiency and performance.
