The community members are discussing the function calling capabilities of Gemini. One community member suggests that using the official VertexGoogle function calling API may be incompatible with their library, as it is too high-level and doesn't expose enough information. Another community member comments that Google often makes things more complicated than they need to be, and a third community member agrees with this sentiment. However, there is no explicitly marked answer to the original question.
googles official function calling api was kind of incompatible with our library last time I checked (its hard to explain, but its too high level, it doesn't expose enough info)
