Is that true? I had tool use working with GPT-4 in 2023, before function calling or structured outputs were even a thing. My tool instructions were only half a page though. Maybe the long prompts are causing problems?

They're talking about "skills" which are not the same thing as tools. Most models haven't been trained on the open SKILL spec, and therefore aren't tuned to invoke them reliable when the need occurs.
