API Parameters

Name	Type	Default	Description
`max_completion_tokens`	integer	—	Maximum number of tokens the model may generate in the response.
`max_tokens` deprecated	integer	—	Deprecated. Use max_completion_tokens.
`response_format`	one of	—	Constrain output to a JSON schema or an enum (structured outputs).
`seed`	integer	—	Deterministic seed for sampling. Same seed + same prompt produces identical output.
`structured_outputs`	boolean	—	Enable JSON-schema-constrained output.
`temperature`	number	1	Sampling temperature; higher values produce more random output. 0 is deterministic.
`tool_choice`	one of	—	Controls which (if any) tool is called: "none", "auto", "required", or a specific tool.
`tools`	array	—	List of tools (functions) the model may call.
`top_p`	number	1	Nucleus sampling: consider only tokens whose cumulative probability ≥ top_p.

Standard OpenAI-compatible parameters. Consult the provider docs for model-specific behaviour.
