No, not quoting here. It's to generate a code snippet to drop into an HTML page to display the toot as a linkable image in a web page.
This is what news websites use when they want to reference something of interest/import from a social media platform.
No embed code, no reference to Mastodon toots on left leaning news websites.
There's a whole lot of passive Mastodon marketing getting lost by the lack of this functionality.
