📖What it means
A model asking for something to be DONE rather than said — the moment a conversation becomes an action. Deterministic code, not the model, then checks permission and carries it out.
⚖️What it is NOT
The neighbours this word is most often confused with, and the line between them.
Not: Tool
A tool is the capability; a tool call is one use of it.
Not: Action receipt
The call is the request; the receipt is the proof it completed.
