Tool and function-style parameters stay available through the same UAI request surface, so agent stacks do not need a separate provider integration.

OpenAI-compatible access

Call meta-llama/llama-3.1-8b-instruct with the same UAI API key, the same /v1/chat/completions shape, and the same request validation used across the rest of the catalog.
