使用 Gemini API 进行函数调用
借助函数调用,您可以将模型连接到外部工具和 API。 模型不会生成文本回答,而是确定何时调用特定函数,并提供执行实际操作所需的参数。这样,模型就可以充当自然语言与实际操作和数据之间的桥梁。函数调用有 3 个主要应用场景:
- 扩充知识: 访问数据库、API 和知识库等外部来源的信息。
- 扩展功能: 使用外部工具执行计算,并扩展模型的限制,例如使用计算器或创建图表。
- 执行操作: 使用 API 与外部系统互动,例如安排预约、创建发票、发送电子邮件或控制智能家居设备。

函数调用的工作原理

函数调用涉及应用、模型和外部函数之间的结构化互动:
- 定义函数声明: 向模型定义函数的名称、参数和用途。
- 使用函数声明调用 LLM: 将用户提示连同函数声明一起发送给模型。
- 执行函数代码(您的责任): 模型本身 不会 执行函数。提取名称和实参,并在应用中执行。
- 创建用户友好的回答: 将结果发送回模型,以获得最终的用户友好回答。
此过程可以重复多次。模型支持在单个轮次中调用 多个函数(并行函数调用)和按 顺序调用多个函数(组合函数调用)。
第 1 步:定义函数声明
Python
set_light_values_declaration = {
"type": "function",
"name": "set_light_values",
"description": "Sets the brightness and color temperature of a light.",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"brightness": {
"type": "integer",
"description": "Light level from 0 to 100",
},
"color_temp": {
"type": "string",
"enum": ["daylight", "cool", "warm"],
"description": "Color temperature",
},
},
"required": ["brightness", "color_temp"],
},
}
def set_light_values(brightness: int, color_temp: str) -> dict:
"""Set the brightness and color temperature of a room light."""
return {"brightness": brightness, "colorTemperature": color_temp}
JavaScript
const setLightValuesTool = {
type: 'function',
name: 'set_light_values',
description: 'Sets the brightness and color temperature of a light.',
parameters: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
brightness: { type: 'number', description: 'Light level from 0 to 100' },
color_temp: { type: 'string', enum: ['daylight', 'cool', 'warm'] },
},
required: ['brightness', 'color_temp'],
},
};
function setLightValues(brightness, color_temp) {
return { brightness: brightness, colorTemperature: color_temp };
}
第 2 步:使用函数声明调用模型
Python
from google import genai
client = genai.Client()
interaction = client.interactions.create(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
input="Turn the lights down to a romantic level",
tools=[set_light_values_declaration],
)
# Find the function call step
fc_step = next(s for s in interaction.steps if s.type == "function_call")
print(fc_step)
JavaScript
import { GoogleGenAI } from '@google/genai';
const client = new GoogleGenAI({});
const interaction = await client.interactions.create({
model: 'gemini-3-flash-preview',
input: 'Turn the lights down to a romantic level',
tools: [setLightValuesTool],
});
// Find the function call step
const fcStep = interaction.steps.find(s => s.type === 'function_call');
console.log(fcStep);
模型会返回一个 function_call 步骤,其中包含 type、name 和 arguments:
type='function_call'
name='set_light_values'
arguments={'color_temp': 'warm', 'brightness': 25}
第 3 步:执行函数
Python
fc_step = next(s for s in interaction.steps if s.type == "function_call")
if fc_step.name == "set_light_values":
result = set_light_values(**fc_step.arguments)
print(f"Function execution result: {result}")
JavaScript
const fcStep = interaction.steps.find(s => s.type === 'function_call');
let result;
if (fcStep.name === 'set_light_values') {
result = setLightValues(fcStep.arguments.brightness, fcStep.arguments.color_temp);
console.log(`Function execution result: ${JSON.stringify(result)}`);
}
第 4 步:将结果发送回模型
Python
final_interaction = client.interactions.create(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
input=[
{
"type": "function_result",
"name": fc_step.name,
"call_id": fc_step.id,
"result": [{"type": "text", "text": json.dumps(result)}],
}
],
tools=[set_light_values_declaration],
previous_interaction_id=interaction.id,
)
print(final_interaction.steps[-1].content[0].text)
JavaScript
const finalInteraction = await client.interactions.create({
model: 'gemini-3-flash-preview',
input: [{
type: 'function_result',
name: fcStep.name,
call_id: fcStep.id,
result: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result) }]
}],
tools: [setLightValuesTool],
previousInteractionId: interaction.id,
});
console.log(finalInteraction.steps.at(-1).content[0].text);
函数声明
函数声明作为工具传递,并包含以下内容:
type(字符串):对于自定义函数,必须为"function"。name(字符串):唯一的函数名称(使用下划线或驼峰式大小写)。description(字符串):对函数用途的清晰说明。parameters(对象):函数预期的输入参数。type(字符串):总体数据类型,例如object。properties(对象):各个参数,包含类型和说明。required(数组):必需的参数名称。
使用思考型模型进行函数调用
Gemini 3 和 2.5 系列模型使用内部 “思考” 过程来改进函数调用。 SDK 会自动为您处理 思考签名。
并行函数调用
当多个函数相互独立时,一次调用多个函数:
Python
power_disco_ball = {"type": "function", "name": "power_disco_ball", "description": "Powers the disco ball.",
"parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"power": {"type": "boolean"}}, "required": ["power"]}}
start_music = {"type": "function", "name": "start_music", "description": "Play music.",
"parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"energetic": {"type": "boolean"}, "loud": {"type": "boolean"}}, "required": ["energetic", "loud"]}}
dim_lights = {"type": "function", "name": "dim_lights", "description": "Dim the lights.",
"parameters": {"type": "object", "properties": {"brightness": {"type": "number"}}, "required": ["brightness"]}}
client = genai.Client()
interaction = client.interactions.create(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
input="Turn this place into a party!",
tools=[power_disco_ball, start_music, dim_lights],
generation_config={"tool_choice": "any"},
)
for step in interaction.steps:
if step.type == "function_call":
args = ", ".join(f"{key}={val}" for key, val in step.arguments.items())
print(f"{step.name}({args})")
JavaScript
const powerDiscoBall = { type: 'function', name: 'power_disco_ball', description: 'Powers the disco ball.',
parameters: { type: 'object', properties: { power: { type: 'boolean' } }, required: ['power'] } };
const startMusic = { type: 'function', name: 'start_music', description: 'Play music.',
parameters: { type: 'object', properties: { energetic: { type: 'boolean' }, loud: { type: 'boolean' } }, required: ['energetic', 'loud'] } };
const dimLights = { type: 'function', name: 'dim_lights', description: 'Dim the lights.',
parameters: { type: 'object', properties: { brightness: { type: 'number' } }, required: ['brightness'] } };
const interaction = await client.interactions.create({
model: 'gemini-3-flash-preview',
input: 'Turn this place into a party!',
tools: [powerDiscoBall, startMusic, dimLights],
generationConfig: { toolChoice: 'any' },
});
for (const step of interaction.steps) {
if (step.type === 'function_call') {
console.log(`${step.name}(${JSON.stringify(step.arguments)})`);
}
}
组合函数调用
将多个函数调用链接在一起,以处理复杂的请求(例如,先获取位置,然后获取该位置的天气情况)。
Python
def get_weather_forecast(location: str) -> dict:
"""Gets the current weather temperature for a given location."""
return {"temperature": 25, "unit": "celsius"}
def set_thermostat_temperature(temperature: int) -> dict:
"""Sets the thermostat to a desired temperature."""
return {"status": "success"}
client = genai.Client()
interaction = client.interactions.create(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
input="If it's warmer than 20°C in London, set the thermostat to 20°C, otherwise 18°C.",
tools=[get_weather_forecast, set_thermostat_temperature],
)
print(interaction.steps[-1].content[0].text)
函数调用模式
使用 generation_config 中的 tool_choice 控制模型使用工具的方式:
auto(默认):模型决定是调用函数还是直接回答。any:模型会受到限制,始终预测函数调用。none:模型不得进行函数调用。validated(预览版):模型确保函数架构符合要求。
Python
generation_config = {
"tool_choice": {
"allowed_tools": {
"mode": "any",
"tools": ["get_current_temperature"]
}
}
}
JavaScript
const generationConfig = {
toolChoice: {
allowedTools: {
mode: 'any',
tools: ['get_current_temperature']
}
}
};
REST
curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \
-H "x-goog-api-key: \$GEMINI_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"model": "gemini-3-flash-preview",
"input": "What is the temperature in Boston?",
"tools": [{

"parameters": {

}
}],
"generation_config": {
"tool_choice": {
"allowed_tools": {
"mode": "any",
"tools": ["get_current_temperature"]
}
}
}
}'
多工具使用
您可以启用多个工具,在同一请求中将内置工具与函数调用相结合。Gemini 3 模型可以在 Interactions 中开箱即用地将内置工具与函数调用相结合。传递 previous_interaction_id 会自动循环内置工具上下文。
Python
from google import genai
import json
client = genai.Client()
get_weather = {
"type": "function",
"name": "get_weather",
"description": "Gets the weather for a requested city.",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"city": {
"type": "string",
"description": "The city and state, e.g. Utqiaġvik, Alaska",
},
},
"required": ["city"],
},
}
tools = [
{"type": "google_search"}, # Built-in tool
get_weather # Custom tool
]
# Turn 1: Initial request with both tools enabled
interaction = client.interactions.create(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
input="What is the northernmost city in the United States? What's the weather like there today?",
tools=tools
)
for step in interaction.steps:
if step.type == "function_call":
print(f"Function call: {step.name} (ID: {step.id})")
# Execute your custom function locally
result = {"response": "Very cold. 22 degrees Fahrenheit."}
# Turn 2: Provide the function result back to the model.
# Passing `previous_interaction_id` automatically circulates the
# built-in Google Search context from Turn 1
interaction_2 = client.interactions.create(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
previous_interaction_id=interaction.id,
tools=tools,
input=[{
"type": "function_result",
"name": step.name,
"call_id": step.id,
"result": [{"type": "text", "text": json.dumps(result)}]
}]
)
print(interaction_2.steps[-1].content[0].text)
JavaScript
import { GoogleGenAI } from '@google/genai';
const client = new GoogleGenAI({});
const weatherTool = {
type: 'function',
name: 'get_weather',
description: 'Gets the weather for a given location.',
parameters: {
type: 'object',
properties: {
location: { type: 'string', description: 'The city and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA' }
},
required: ['location']
}
};
const tools = [
{type: 'google_search'}, // Built-in tool
weatherTool // Custom tool
];
// Turn 1: Initial request with both tools enabled
let interaction = await client.interactions.create({
model: 'gemini-3-flash-preview',
input: "What is the northernmost city in the United States? What's the weather like there today?",
tools: tools
});
for (const step of interaction.steps) {
if (step.type === 'function_call') {
console.log(`Function call: ${step.name} (ID: ${step.id})`);
// Execute your custom function locally
const result = {response: "Very cold. 22 degrees Fahrenheit."};
// Turn 2: Provide the function result back to the model.
const interaction_2 = await client.interactions.create({
model: 'gemini-3-flash-preview',
previousInteractionId: interaction.id,
tools: tools,
input: [{
type: 'function_result',
name: step.name,
call_id: step.id,
result: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result) }]
}]
});
console.log(interaction_2.steps.at(-1).content[0].text);
}
}
多模态函数响应
对于 Gemini 3 系列模型,您可以在发送给模型的函数响应部分中添加多模态内容。模型可以在下一轮对话中处理此多模态内容,从而生成更明智的回答。
如需在函数响应中包含多模态数据,请将其作为 result 步骤的 function_result 字段中的一个或多个内容块。每个内容块都必须指定其 type(例如 "text"、"image")。
以下示例展示了如何在互动中将包含图片数据的函数响应发送回模型:
Python
import base64
from google import genai
import requests
client = genai.Client()
# Find the function call step
tool_call = next(s for s in interaction.steps if s.type == "function_call")
# Execute your tool to get image bytes
image_path = "https://goo.gle/instrument-img"
image_bytes = requests.get(image_path).content
base64_image_data = base64.b64encode(image_bytes).decode("utf-8")
final_interaction = client.interactions.create(
model="gemini-3-flash-preview",
previous_interaction_id=interaction.id,
input=[
{
"type": "function_result",
"name": tool_call.name,
"call_id": tool_call.id,
"result": [
{"type": "text", "text": "instrument.jpg"},
{
"type": "image",
"mime_type": "image/jpeg",
"data": base64_image_data,
},
],
}
],
)
print(final_interaction.steps[-1].content[0].text)
JavaScript
import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
const ai = new GoogleGenAI({});
// Find the function call step
const toolCall = interaction.steps.find(s => s.type === 'function_call');
// Execute your tool to get image bytes and convert to base64
// (Implementation depends on your environment)
const base64ImageData = "BASE64_IMAGE_DATA";
const finalInteraction = await ai.interactions.create({
model: 'gemini-3-flash-preview',
previousInteractionId: interaction.id,
input: [{
type: 'function_result',
name: toolCall.name,
call_id: toolCall.id,
result: [
{ type: 'text', text: 'instrument.jpg' },
{

mimeType: 'image/jpeg',
data: base64ImageData,
}
]
}]
});
console.log(finalInteraction.steps.at(-1).content[0].text);
REST
curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \

使用结构化输出进行函数调用
对于 Gemini 3 系列模型,将函数调用与 结构化输出相结合,以获得 格式一致的回答。
远程 MCP(模型上下文协议)
Interactions API 支持连接到远程 MCP 服务器,以便模型可以访问外部工具和服务。您可以在工具配置中提供服务器 name 和 url。
使用远程 MCP 时,请注意以下限制:
- 服务器类型:远程 MCP 仅适用于可流式传输的 HTTP 服务器。不支持 SSE(服务器发送事件)服务器。
- 模型支持:远程 MCP 目前不适用于 Gemini 3 模型。即将支持 Gemini 3。
- 命名:MCP 服务器名称不应包含
-字符。请改用snake_case服务器名称。
| 字段 | 类型 | 是否必需 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|---|
type |
string |
是 | 必须为 "mcp_server"。 |
name |
string |
否 | MCP 服务器的显示名称。 |
url |
string |
否 | MCP 服务器端点的完整网址。 |
headers |
object |
否 | 作为 HTTP 标头随每个服务器请求发送的键值对(例如,身份验证令牌)。 |
allowed_tools |
array |
否 | 限制智能体可以调用服务器中的哪些工具。 |

流式传输工具调用
将工具与流式传输搭配使用时,模型会在流中生成一系列 step.delta 事件作为函数调用。可以使用 arguments 将工具实参作为部分实参进行流式传输。您必须先聚合这些增量,以重建完整的工具调用,然后才能执行它们。
Python

最佳做法
- 函数和参数说明: 确保明确具体。
- 命名: 使用描述性名称,不包含空格或特殊字符。
- 强类型: 使用特定类型(整数、字符串、枚举)。
- 工具选择: 将活跃工具集保持在最多 10-20 个工具。
- 提示工程: 提供上下文和说明。
温度: 使用较低的温度(例如 0)进行确定性调用。
验证: 在执行函数调用之前进行验证。
错误处理: 实施强大的错误处理机制。
安全性: 为外部 API 使用适当的身份验证。
注释和限制
- 仅支持 OpenAPI 架构的子集。
- 对于
any模式,API 可能会拒绝非常大或深度嵌套的架构。 - Python 中支持的参数类型有限。
