What Tool Calling Tutor does

Runs a mandatory triage question (LLM not calling / wrong args / ReAct loop stuck / greenfield schema design), then branches into a priority-ordered list of causes backed by a bad-to-good schema worked example and an Anthropic-vs-OpenAI SDK diff sheet. Triggers on bilingual tool-calling complaints like "the LLM won't call my tool" or "為什麼 LLM 不呼叫我的 tool", and explicitly routes LangChain/MCP/observability questions elsewhere instead of answering them.
