Model Context Protocol (MCP)

A Tool is a function the server exposes that the model can call, and it may have side effects (e.g., write to a file, call an external API); Resources are read-only data

A Tool is a read-only endpoint, while a Resource is a callable function with side effects

Tools and Resources are interchangeable terms in MCP — both refer to callable server capabilities

A Tool is a built-in capability of the AI model itself, not something provided by the MCP server

What is an MCP Tool, and how does it differ from a Resource?
