If you think tool call and letting the LLM call an API via curl are the same thing, you haven’t a clue how LLMs work and honestly shouldn’t be commenting on the topic at all.

A "tool call" is literally a JSON-RPC call with a predefined schema.

You'd know that if you actually did any of the following:

- read the specification

- implemented an MCP server

- observed communication between client and server

- had any experience beyond what LLMs tell you
