Mcts Expand

Using MCP Tools

Call mcts_expand with:

• node_id: The node to expand
• actions: List of actions to add as children
• states: Resulting states for each action
• priors: Prior probability estimates for each action

Each action should include:

{
  "action": "description of action",
  "state": "resulting state description",
  "prior": 0.3,
  "metadata": {"reasoning": "why this action"}
}

Expansion Strategy

For the current context: $ARGUMENTS

For Research Problems:

• Actions = different hypotheses or investigation paths
• States = knowledge states after investigation
• Priors = based on domain knowledge

For Planning Problems:

• Actions = possible decisions or steps
• States = situation after each decision
• Priors = based on feasibility and expected outcomes

For Coding Problems:

• Actions = implementation approaches or fixes
• States = code states after changes
• Priors = based on best practices and complexity

Pruning Considerations

Don't expand:

• Obviously invalid actions
• Duplicate states (detected via state hashing)
• Actions with extremely low prior probability

Output

After expansion, report:

1. Number of children added
2. Brief description of each action
3. Prior probabilities and reasoning
4. Which child looks most promising for simulation

Proceed to SIMULATION phase with one of the new child nodes.
