This seems to propose an alternate notion of 'tool' than the one in the article.

I agree with "tool != oracle" for the article's definition.

Using your definition, I'm not sure there is any distinction between tool and agent at all, as per this comment.

I do think there are useful alternative notions to consider in this area, though, as per this comment.

And I do think there is a terminology issue. Previously I was saying "autonomous AI" vs "non-autonomous".
