You can also specify a particular function using named function calling by setting `tool_choice={"type": "function", "function": {"name": "get_weather"}}`. Note that this will use the guided decoding backend - so the first time this is used, there will be several seconds of latency (or more) as the FSM is compiled for the first time before it is cached for subsequent requests.
Remember that it's the callers responsibility to:
1. Define appropriate tools in the request
2. Include relevant context in the chat messages

## Named Function Calling
vLLM supports named function calling in the chat completion API by default. It does so using Outlines through guided decoding, so this is
enabled by default, and will work with any supported model. You are guaranteed a validly-parsable function call - not a
high-quality one.
vLLM will use guided decoding to ensure the response matches the tool parameter object defined by the JSON schema in the `tools` parameter.
vLLM will use guided decoding to ensure the response matches the tool parameter object defined by the JSON schema in the `tools` parameter.
For best results, we recommend ensuring that the expected output format / schema is specified in the prompt to ensure that the model's intended generation is aligned with the schema that it's being forced to generate by the guided decoding backend.
To use a named function, you need to define the functions in the `tools` parameter of the chat completion request, and
specify the `name` of one of the tools in the `tool_choice` parameter of the chat completion request.
## Automatic Function Calling
To enable this feature, you should set the following flags:
* `--enable-auto-tool-choice` -- **mandatory** Auto tool choice. tells vLLM that you want to enable the model to generate its own tool calls when it
deems appropriate.
* `--tool-call-parser` -- select the tool parser to use (listed below). Additional tool parsers

### Models with Pythonic Tool Calls (`pythonic`)
A growing number of models output a python list to represent tool calls instead of using JSON. This has the advantage of inherently supporting parallel tool calls and removing ambiguity around the JSON schema required for tool calls. The `pythonic` tool parser can support such models.
As a concrete example, these models may look up the weather in San Francisco and Seattle by generating:
```python
[get_weather(city='San Francisco', metric='celsius'), get_weather(city='Seattle', metric='celsius')]
```
Limitations:
* The model must not generate both text and tool calls in the same generation. This may not be hard to change for a specific model, but the community currently lacks consensus on which tokens to emit when starting and ending tool calls. (In particular, the Llama 3.2 models emit no such tokens.)
* Llama's smaller models struggle to use tools effectively.
Example supported models:
* `meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct`\* (use with `examples/tool_chat_template_llama3.2_pythonic.jinja`)
