# Tools

> The catalog of server tools OpenRouter runs on behalf of a model: accepted `tools[].type` spellings per API format, engines and pricing, and which endpoints run each tool natively. See https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/features/server-tools.

## Overview

The catalog of server tools OpenRouter runs on behalf of a model: accepted `tools[].type` spellings per API format, engines and pricing, and which endpoints run each tool natively. See [https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/features/server-tools](https://openrouter.ai/docs/guides/features/server-tools).

### Available Operations

* [list\_tools](#list_tools) - List server tools
* [get\_tool](#get_tool) - Get a server tool

## list\_tools

Lists every server tool OpenRouter can run on behalf of a model: accepted `tools[].type` spellings per API format, the engines behind it with their pricing, and how many endpoints run it natively.

### Example Usage

```python theme={null}
from openrouter import OpenRouter, operations
import os


with OpenRouter(
    http_referer="<value>",
    x_open_router_title="<value>",
    x_open_router_categories="<value>",
) as open_router:

    res = open_router.tools.list_tools(security=operations.ListToolsSecurity(
        bearer=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_BEARER", ""),
    ), offset=0, limit=50)

    # Handle response
    print(res)

```

### Parameters

| `http_referer` | *Optional\[str]* | :heavy\_minus\_sign: | The app identifier should be your app's URL and is used as the primary identifier for rankings.<br />This is used to track API usage per application.<br /> | |

| `limit` | *Optional\[int]* | :heavy\_minus\_sign: | Maximum number of records to return (max 100). When both offset and limit are omitted, the full list is returned | 50 |
| `api_format` | [Optional\[operations.APIFormat\]](../../operations/apiformat.mdx) | :heavy\_minus\_sign: | Only tools usable on this API format | responses |
| `retries` | [Optional\[utils.RetryConfig\]](../../models/utils/retryconfig.mdx) | :heavy\_minus\_sign: | Configuration to override the default retry behavior of the client. | |

    # Handle response
    print(res)
