Technically it's not really much different from just giving the LLM an OpenAPI spec. The actual thing that's different is that an OpenAPI spec is meant to be an exhaustive list of …

Why do we have to "get there?" Humans use calculators all the time, so why not have every LLM hooked up to a calculator or code interpreter as a tool to use in these exact situatio…
