Tool call

One request an AI assistant makes to a tool, such as asking an MCP server to list resources or start a schedule, with the tool's name and its inputs. In ZopNight each tool call is checked at the gateway and written to the audit log. Why it matters: Tool calls are the unit you audit and limit when an agent works with your cloud account.
