The Ollama requester declared litellm_provider: ollama, which routes
every request through litellm's legacy /api/generate-based
OllamaConfig. That config's get_supported_openai_params() does not
include "tools"/"tool_choice" at all, so an Ollama-hosted model in a
local-agent pipeline could never receive a structured tool definition
or return a structured tool_calls response - it could only try to
express a tool call as free text (typically inside its own <think>
reasoning), which LangBot then has no way to execute.
litellm's "ollama_chat" provider targets Ollama's modern /api/chat
endpoint instead, which correctly forwards tools/tool_choice and
correctly surfaces the model's native message.tool_calls field.
Verified against a real local Ollama 0.33.2 instance with the exact
system prompt, RAG-augmented user message, and tool set a live
pipeline sends.
Two follow-on fixes needed because the Ollama requester definition is
shared by LLM and text-embedding models:
- get_reasoning_capabilities: match family in ('ollama', 'ollama_chat')
so the reasoning-level UI still works for this provider.
- scan_models: retry {base_url}/v1/models on a 404 from {base_url}/models,
since Ollama's base_url is a bare host (must not include /v1 - that
would break OllamaChatConfig.get_complete_url, which appends /api/chat
to it directly), unlike most other OpenAI-compatible providers whose
base_url already ends in /v1.
- invoke_embedding: litellm's embedding routing has no "ollama_chat"
case, only "ollama". Build the embedding model name with an explicit
custom_llm_provider="ollama" override when the requester is configured
for ollama_chat, so embedding models (e.g. bge-m3) keep working.

Built for AI Agents 🤖
LangBot is agent-friendly by design — your coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, …) can operate, extend, and deploy LangBot with first-class support:
- MCP Server — LangBot exposes a built-in Model Context Protocol endpoint at
/mcp, mirroring the HTTP API so an agent can manage bots, pipelines, plugins, and models programmatically. Authenticate with the same API key (set a global key inconfig.yamlor use a per-user key) — no login flow required. Configure it in the Web panel's API & MCP tab. - In-repo Skills — The
skills/directory is the single source of truth for working with LangBot: plugin development, core development, end-to-end testing, deployment, and operating the LangBot / LangBot Space MCP servers. Point your agent at this directory and it knows how to build. - AGENTS.md — Every repo ships an
AGENTS.md(symlinked toCLAUDE.md) describing architecture, conventions, and the rule that API changes must keep the MCP server and skills in sync. llms.txt— Machine-readable project context for LLMs is published on the website.
Cloud / Marketplace: LangBot Space also exposes an MCP server so agents can search and inspect the plugin / MCP / skill marketplace, authenticated with a Personal Access Token.
