URL behavior
Tools do not agree on what “Base URL” means:
- If the tool appends
/chat/completions, enterhttps://getrouter.ai/v1. - If the tool appends
/v1/chat/completions, it may expecthttps://getrouter.ai. - If the field asks for a complete endpoint, enter
https://getrouter.ai/v1/chat/completions.
Do not guess. Check the field description or the tool's network/error output.
Verify

- Select
MODEL_IDexplicitly if the model list is empty. - Send a short text message.
