The passage around this formula
It helps to write the whole loop down once, because the assumption buried in it is the one the rest of this article is about: . Here is the tool set most recently returned by tools/list , each member carrying its own schema; is the model, which is expected — but not forced by anything outside its own training — to emit a call whose name and arguments validate against some tool in ; is dispatch through the client to the server and back, exactly as described above; and is the context the model reasons over on the next step, built by appending the call and its result to what came before. The assumption is in…
