Function Calling

Also known as: Function Calling / 関数呼び出し / ファンクションコーリング

OpenAI's term for LLM-to-function invocation — equivalent to Tool Use. Model emits a JSON call from a schema; host executes it.


Overview

Introduced by OpenAI in 2023, Function Calling is now universal across major LLMs. Developers describe functions via name, description, and JSON Schema; the model decides when to call.

MCP and Agent SDKs abstract Function Calling to standardise tool management across hosts and runtimes.
