📖What it means

A callable capability rather than a place to look: a command-line utility or a function an agent may invoke. What an agent is allowed to call is itself a record, so a tool is granted, not assumed.

📖Easily confused with

[{"term": "App", "distinction": "A tool is called; an app is visited."}, {"term": "Action", "distinction": "A tool is a capability that exists; an action is one typed, receipted use of one inside a chat turn."}]

📖Also called

- utility
- capability
- command
