Authorization: Bearer $KUMO_API_KEY

One completion per request. The gateway rejects frequency_penalty, presence_penalty, seed, logprobs, top_logprobs and logit_bias: each of them would change the generation or the shape of the reply, and accepting one silently would misdescribe the answer you got. n is accepted only at 1 — the protocol default and exactly what the gateway does — and an n above one is rejected. user is accepted but is not forwarded to the model, not stored and not echoed back. The same applies to strict on a function declaration and name on a tool-role message: both are accepted and not forwarded. reasoning_effort is accepted and not forwarded either: no supplier request on this platform carries a reasoning budget, so the answer comes back at the default of the model itself whatever the field says. cache_control on a message, on a content part or on a replayed tool call is accepted and not forwarded either: the supplier wire this protocol is served by has no member for a prompt-cache anchor, so the cached-token counts come back as though the anchor had not been sent. messages[].content is accepted both as a string and as a list of parts: text parts are joined in order into one text, so a request written in parts and the same request written as a string are one request. A part of kind image_url, input_audio, file or refusal is rejected naming its own type: no multimodal capability is verified on this platform for any pair, and a replayed refusal would reach the supplier as ordinary assistant speech. The developer role is accepted and forwarded as system — it is the newer name this protocol gives the instruction role. stop is array-only; tool_choice is the string mode auto, none or required, or an object naming a declared tool. json_object is refused by name: promising valid JSON says nothing about its shape.
