Reasoning Workflow

SemLang does not expose a separate reasoning tool. Agents should compose the compact public tools instead:

• Use search to find candidate concepts, members, metrics, queries, lenses, or entities.
• Use describe to inspect the selected ontology objects and lens details.
• Use find_paths when the route between concepts matters.
• Use run_query with dry_run_only to validate generated Malloy before execution.

This keeps heuristic planning out of the public manifest while preserving the same workflow through explicit, reviewable tool calls.
