It is quite an essential feature that opens up a ton of use cases.
It would also let Google to get more data about tool use for training.

Google vs Meta 🤖
> Google introduces restrictions on Meta's use on Gemini amid capacity shortage, according to the Financial Times.
> Reportedly, this negatively affected internal projects at Meta related to customer support and content moderation, causing delays.
I bet token efficiency will be a huge market in the long run, with a very transparent and predictable business model.
