Obligations are\n  emitted exactly as before.\n* **`[]`** - still a **legacy caller**, deliberately. These bytes\n  have always been acceptable to the server and any non-Go client\n  could send them, so giving them a new meaning would move an\n  unchanged caller from \"obligation emitted, the PEP fails closed\"\n  to \"obligation suppressed, organization fallback posture\" - default\n  `log`, i.e. allowed without the redaction. Since v10.4.0 the state\n  is representable in the Go client and distinguishable in the type;\n  its reading is unchanged.\n* **non-empty** - only the obligations these capabilities can\n  discharge are emitted; the organization's obligation-fallback\n  posture decides what happens to any the platform suppresses.\n\nUnknown values are ignored, never an error and never a block, so an\nolder platform meeting a newer PEP's vocabulary degrades instead of\nfailing.\n"

A tool call sent under any other value is decided\nand enforced exactly the same way, and its audit row carries neither\nfield: a complete-looking record that does not say which tool it was\nabout. Matching is case-insensitive, so `TOOL` and `Tool` are the\nsame value; there is no second accepted WORD and no alias (#3717).\n\nCapability-scoped policy evaluation is a separate question and is\nNOT offered for every tool target. A target that also names a\n`server` describes a call the caller routes to a backend it does not\nitself execute, so its `tool` is not used to relax evaluation --\nthose requests always get full evaluation.\n\nSO SETTING `server` IS A TRADE, AND IT IS THE SAFE DIRECTION OF ONE:\nit is what puts `tool_server` on the audit row, and it also opts the\nrequest out of any evaluation relaxation. It cannot weaken\nenforcement.
