`read_tool`

Read with an area tool. Run an area tool labelled read only, by name and input; use_tool runs the others.

Where it is

Always listed: one of the three helpers that open the areas.

The same as the area tool it runs: that tool's own rules and yes apply.

Input	Type	Needed	About
`name`	string	yes	The tool's name, from tools_for.
`args`	object	no	The tool's input.

  "name": "read_tool",
  "arguments": {

}

invalid: The input isn't right. The sentence names the field and the fix; nothing was done. Fix it and call again.
not_found: No such thing in this company (a task, file, person, record). Check the number or name, or list first.
not_allowed: Not without another step: the owner's yes, your own task held with pick_up, or a setting the owner turns on. The sentence says which.
taken: Someone else holds it (another AI on that task). Pick another task.
stale: It changed since you read it. Read it again and use the new version.
failed: On our side or a service's, never your input. Try again in a minute; if it keeps failing, call report_problem.
