OnDeviceModel gains a chat() method accepting the full message history and
a list of ToolDef entries. Returns ChatResult which is either a text reply or
a list of ToolCallData the model wants to invoke. Default impl flattens
messages to a prompt so Nano and MediaPipe backends work unchanged.
GeminiCloudModel overrides chat() with native Gemini function calling:
- Converts OpenAI tools to Gemini functionDeclarations
- Handles system messages via Gemini's systemInstruction field
- Converts multi-turn history including assistant tool_calls and tool results
(role=tool → Gemini functionResponse with name resolved from prior turns)
- Parses functionCall parts in the response and returns ToolCallData list
- Falls back to text content when no function call is present
AIApiServer routes to chat() when tools are provided or the conversation
has more than one turn. Returns finish_reason=tool_calls and the tool_calls
array in the assistant message so OpenClaw / any OpenAI-compatible agent
client can execute tools and feed results back.
ApiModels updated: Message.content nullable, tool_calls and tool_call_id
added to Message, Tool/ToolFunction/ToolCall/FunctionCallDetail added,
tools and tool_choice added to ChatRequest.
