Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools is a variant of Gemini 3.1 Pro that improves tool selection behavior by preventing overuse of a general bash tool when more efficient third-party or user-defined functions are available. This specialized preview endpoint significantly increases function calling reliability and ensures the model selects the most appropriate tool in coding agents and complex, multi-tool workflows.

It retains the core strengths of Gemini 3.1 Pro, including multimodal reasoning across text, image, video, audio, and code, a 1M-token context window, and strong software engineering performance.

Sample code and API for Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools

OpenRouter normalizes requests and responses across providers for you.

OpenRouter supports reasoning-enabled models that can show their step-by-step thinking process. Use the reasoning parameter in your request to enable reasoning, and access the reasoning_details array in the response to see the model's internal reasoning before the final answer. When continuing a conversation, preserve the complete reasoning_details when passing messages back to the model so it can continue reasoning from where it left off. Learn more about reasoning tokens.

In the examples below, the OpenRouter-specific headers are optional. Setting them allows your app to appear on the OpenRouter leaderboards.

Using third-party SDKs
