The function call contains the following arguments:

First argument: a string for the operation name. The operation name is the object ID of the notification event that will trigger the initiator.

Second argument: a list of strings that will be passed to the external handler call initiator.

Third argument: the timeout period in milliseconds for the function call to return.

Fourth argument: a list of strings that are passed back from the external handler return tool.
