Hoe wij rangschikken
Function calling is the connective tissue of agent systems. A model that picks the wrong tool once in 20 calls is unacceptable for any non-trivial automation. We weight tool-selection accuracy and multi-tool benchmarks heavily, then price.

Field notes
Keep the tool list short and well-named. Long tool lists degrade accuracy.
Use JSON schemas with required fields to reduce malformed calls.
Log tool failures and retry with a fallback model tier if needed.
