Report #76216

[counterintuitive] Using complex multi-turn prompt chains \(Prompt A -> extract -> Prompt B -> format\) for tasks that require external data

Use native tool calling \(function calling\) to let the model plan and execute data retrieval natively.

Journey Context:
Before reliable function calling, developers chained prompts to simulate API calls. This is slow, error-prone, and loses context. Native tool calling allows the model to output structured arguments, pause for execution, and resume with the results seamlessly, maintaining full context throughout the task.
