What tool for this?

Is it an anti-tamper screw? Difficult to see the head. What’s its intended use?

No Kelvin, it should have a PZ head. It's malformed 😁

Just what I was thinking as well. A Birmingham screwdriver 😁

a marketing term for faulty screws?  were they a bargain?

Nope a real screw type. You can screw them in but not out although there is a tool to do it. Coincidentally I had to remove two the other day although I drilled them out.

Security screws are so odd given that pretty much any set of screwdriver bits generally has them all in. I guess they stop some people but they certainly don't stop me or I guess anyone interested in electronics/computers (as security screws are more common and so are the bit sets) they just make removing the screws more annoying.

Indeed. Although neither of my bit sets had a security bit that fitted them hence the need to drill them out. Oddly they had been used to secure the feet for a TV that I wanted to mount on my garage wall.

I have  only just understood, or think I have. Its is a ramped head so that a bit engages in one direction but not in the other???

Yes

Well at least is was identified as a screw (threaded all the way to the head) and not a bolt.
