DN FIELD GUIDE · INITIAL RELEASE

Tool calling

A model emits a structured request for an external function; the application validates and executes it.

Agents · Reviewed 2026-10-12

See it in a workflow

The model requests a price lookup, which the application sends to a market-data API.

The failure mode

A model request is not itself user consent to execute a transaction.

Illustrative scenario, not a measured execution test.

Evidence before authority

DN’s reference hub connects concepts, official sources and practical review questions. It is an editorial reference, not a security certification or legal advice. Entries are dated snapshots, not a continuously monitored feed. Coverage expands only after review.

Commercial relationships do not determine definitions, regulatory conclusions or default tool order. Follow provider eligibility rules and verify permissions before execution.
