Tool-AGI seems to be an an incoherent concept. If a Tool simply solves a given set of problems in the prespecified allowed ways (only solves GoogleMap problems, takes its existing data set as fixed, and has some pre-determined, safe set of simple actions it can take), then it's a narrow AI.
If an AGI is able to understand which of the intermediate outcomes an action may cause are important for people, and to summarize this information in a user-friendly manner, then building such AGI is FAI-complete.
I don't think the concept is incoherent. What do you think of my more specific suggestion. Holden's idea seems sufficiently different from other ideas that I don't don't think arguing about whether it is AGI or narrow AI is very useful.
