'a toss-up' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'overly intimate to visit?' is the wordplay.
'overly' becomes 'too' (to too great a degree).
'intimate' becomes 'close' (similar in meaning).
'visit?' becomes 'call' ('call' can be a synonym of 'visit').
'too'+'close'+'to'+'call'='TOO CLOSE TO CALL'

'it's' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for too close to call that I've seen before include "Not far enough away for visit" , "Marginal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
