A FIELD directive is used client-side.

query {
  someField @someDirective
}

A FIELD_DEFINITION directive is used server-side.

type Query {
  someField: String @someDirective
}

Server-side directives affect how a schema is initially created. Client-side directives modify how an individual operation is executed.
