FAQ

How model management behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI switch models automatically?

    No. The AI can identify which models are available and suggest the best one, but you must decide which model to use for your task.

  • 02

    Can the AI change the model's configuration?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to list and retrieve model details. It cannot modify how a model is configured on the engine.

  • 03

    How do I know if a model is ready to use?

    The AI uses the list tool to show you only the models that are currently active and accessible.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my prompt data when looking up models?

    No. When the AI is just browsing the model list or fetching model specs, it isn't interacting with your specific prompt content.

  • 05

    Can I use these tools to check model pricing?

    No. The available tools are limited to listing models and getting their technical details.
