"# How to handle tool errors\n",
"\n",
":::info Prerequisites\n",
"\n",
"This guide assumes familiarity with the following concepts:\n",
"- [Chat models](/docs/concepts/#chat-models)\n",
"- [LangChain Tools](/docs/concepts/#tools)\n",
"- [How to use a model to call tools](/docs/how_to/tool_calling)\n",
"\n",
":::\n",
"\n",
"Calling tools with an LLM is generally more reliable than pure prompting, but it isn't perfect. The model may try to call a tool that doesn't exist or fail to return arguments that match the requested schema. Strategies like keeping schemas simple, reducing the number of tools you pass at once, and having good names and descriptions can help mitigate this risk, but aren't foolproof.\n",
"\n",
"This guide covers some ways to build error handling into your chains to mitigate these failure modes."
