I wasn't sure what this meant, so I looked at the source. It seems to be referring to tool APIs being designed around taking multiple targets as a list parameter, instead of hoping the model makes appropriately parallel tool calls. (This matches my experience btw, models are reluctant to make a large number of parallel calls simultaneously, and this seems more pronounced with weaker models.)

I think Anthropic may have mentioned this first, this pattern is also something my custom agent's tools are designed around, pretty sure I picked it up from them.
