Summary

ollama openai compatible mode does not support tool calling

Problem to solve

hello,

I cannot for the life of me get ollama cloud direct api setup that enables tool call inside openclaw.

for clarification, the native openclaw doc says that the native ollama api works with tool calling support, but i cannot for the life of me get it setup.

ollama cloud models do work if i use the v1 openai completion configuration for the main chat window, but it fails on tool calling.

Proposed solution

enable openclaw support for v1 openai compatible mode, or improve documenttation.
