 If you pass a `parse` function, it will automatically parse the `arguments` for you
 and returns any parsing errors to the model to attempt auto-recovery.
 Otherwise, the args will be passed to the function you provide as a string.

 Like with `.stream()`, we provide a variety of [helpers and events](helpers.md#events).
 
+Note that `runFunctions` was previously available as well, but has been deprecated in favor of `runTools`.

 [next.js](helpers.md#integrate-wtih-next-js), and [proxying a stream to the browser](helpers.md#proxy-streaming-to-a-browser).
