  console.log('Function:', call.function.name)           // "get_weather"
  const args = JSON.parse(call.function.arguments)
  console.log('Arguments:', args)                        // { city: 'Tokyo', units: 'celsius' }

  // Execute the real function, then continue the conversation:
  const weatherData = await fetchWeather(args.city, args.units)
  const followUp = await context.completion({
    messages: [
      { role: 'system',    content: 'You are a helpful assistant with tool access.' },
