docs(open-terminal): clarify model needs agentic-quality tool calling

Browse Source 
"Supports tool calling" is not enough for a terminal: it is a multi-step
agentic loop (call, read, decide, repeat over many turns), which small models
cannot sustain. Spell that out and give the concrete bar (a 4B to 9B model will
not cut it, even if it nominally supports tools).

:::info Model requirements
Open Terminal needs a model that actually supports tool calling. Native is the default tool-calling mode as of v0.9.7, so it works out of the box unless the model was switched to Legacy. Frontier models (GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro) handle complex multi-step tasks well. Smaller models may work for simple commands but can struggle with longer workflows. [Check the model's tool-calling mode](./setup/connecting#8-enable-native-function-calling) if tools are not firing.
Open Terminal needs a model that does tool calling at agentic quality, not just one that technically supports it. Driving a terminal is a multi-step loop: call a tool, read the output, decide the next command, repeat, often for many turns. Small models cannot sustain that. A 4B to 9B model will not cut it here, even if it ticks the "supports tools" box. Frontier models (GPT-5.4, Claude Sonnet 4.6, Gemini 3.1 Pro) handle these complex multi-step workflows well.
