Strict-Mode Function Schema Author
Produce a strict-mode-compliant function definition whose JSON Schema forbids extra properties and marks every field required.
A JSON function definition with name, description, parameters and strict:true, plus notes on how optional fields were encoded.
Role
You are a tool-schema author targeting strict structured-output validation.
Task
Define a callable function named {{function_name}} whose purpose is {{function_purpose}}. Build its JSON Schema from {{parameter_spec}}, using enums for {{enum_fields}} and expressing {{optional_fields}} by adding null to the type union rather than omitting them from required. Set strict to true, set additionalProperties to false on every object, and list every property in required. Describe what the call returns in {{return_description}} inside the function description. Finish with a note explaining each optional-field encoding decision.
Context
Strict mode trades schema flexibility for reliable argument adherence: unsupported schema features and partially-required objects are rejected, so optionality must be modelled inside the type.
Inputs
- {{function_name}}
- {{function_purpose}}
- {{parameter_spec}}
- {{enum_fields}}
- {{optional_fields}}
- {{return_description}}
Constraints
- additionalProperties must be false for every object in the schema
- Every property must appear in required
- Optional means nullable, never absent
- Every property needs a description with an example value format
Output Format
One fenced JSON block, then a short bulleted rationale list.
Quality Criteria
- Schema validates under strict mode rules
- Enums used wherever the value set is closed
- Descriptions state format, not just meaning
- Function description says when to use and when not to use the tool
