1 replyThe core issue with the traditional MCP/Tool Calling approach is that adding too many tools or having to chain multiple calls leads to models behaving worse and inefficiently using tokens. Cloudflare's new concept proposes converting MCP tools into a TypeScript API and letting the LLM write code to call that API, instead of listing all the tools for the model to call directly
