receiving a first baseline sensor value from a tool recognition assembly of a medical system subsequent to a set-up process of the tool recognition assembly and a receiving member, the receiving member configured to receive a tool;
determining a baseline adjustment threshold based on the first baseline sensor value;
receiving first monitored sensor data from the tool recognition assembly as the tool is inserted into the receiving member;
comparing the first monitored sensor data to the baseline adjustment threshold for a predetermined duration;
if the comparison satisfies a comparison criterion for the predetermined duration, establishing a second baseline sensor value using the first monitored sensor data; and
determining if the tool is fully inserted within the receiving member using the second baseline sensor value.
