i see it on the developer only model but im not really sure what tool calling really is...

Great question!

Tool calling is an advanced feature offered in some AI models (like GPT-4, or “developer only” models) that allows the AI to connect with external tools or APIs during a conversation. Instead of just generating plain text responses, the AI can detect when a task requires outside information or action—like searching the web, doing math, pulling weather data, or interacting with a database—and then “call” the appropriate tool automatically to perform that action and use its results in the conversation.

Example:
If you ask the AI, “What’s the weather in Paris right now?”

• A model with tool calling can send your request to a weather API, get the latest weather, and include that info in its answer.
• A model without tool calling just replies based on what it already knows (which might be outdated).

On Pawan.Krd, our public/free models (CosmosRP series, GPT-OSS) do not currently support tool calling.

• Tool Calling: ❌ NO (for CosmosRP models, GPT-OSS 20B except for specific developer-only versions).
• You’ll see “Tool Calling: NO” in our documentation/model lists.
• Some select/experimental models for developers might include it, but general users won’t need to worry about it.

Summary:
Tool calling lets an AI interact with other software/services as part of its answer. Most roleplay and storywriting models on Pawan.Krd focus on generating responses with what they know, and that’s typically all you need for roleplay purposes!
