What the current evidence supports
Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20
Adopt with guardrails
- Why
- The mechanism is foundational, ubiquitous, and still actively supported three years on, but OpenAI's own documentation discloses concrete scaling and accuracy limits (function-count guidance, model-gated tool search) and is actively steering the ecosystem toward a newer API shape -- so it merits guardrails, not blind reuse of the original 2023 pattern.
- Next
- Use the Responses API tool-calling format for new integrations (not legacy Chat Completions 'functions'), enable strict mode/structured outputs for schema reliability, keep the active tool count small (<20) and prefer MCP-style tool discovery for large tool catalogs, and treat this as the substrate BFCL/tau2-bench/MCP already benchmark and formalize against rather than reinventing schema conventions.
