Call a tool
call_toolRun any AskEditor tool by name, including the many that are not in your tool list: the captions, motion graphics, animations, keyframes, transitions, audio, tracking, brand and board tools. Load the tools/ guide that owns it first (load_skill), then pass its arguments in args. Guards, approvals and results are exactly those of calling the tool directly.
