Runs any model OpenRouter serves, named maker/model as OpenRouter names it. The model’s protocol sets what it does:

`protocol=`	Models	Runs as
`typesafe`	Decision models, the default `typesafe/jev-latest`	`typesafe` does: navigator only, choosing among listed alternatives
`openai`	Chat models, such as `openai/gpt-6-luna`	A chat provider, which also formats and writes

Without protocol=, a known decision model such as TypeSafe’s jev speaks typesafe and any other model openai. --llm-usage carries the cost OpenRouter reports for each call, its server tools included.

Options

Option	On OpenRouter
`protocol`	`typesafe` or `openai`, from the model when absent
`tool`	`web_search` and `web_fetch`, OpenRouter’s own server tools, on any chat model. A tool block such as `{"type":"openrouter:web_search","parameters":{"engine":"exa","max_results":3}}` sets their parameters
`vision`	A chat model by its maker’s rules: an `openai`, `anthropic`, `google`, `deepseek` or `mistralai` model as on that provider’s page, and another maker’s by the Ollama list. A decision model reads no screenshot
`body.<path>`	Sent to OpenRouter as written, so `body.max_tool_calls=3` caps the tool calls and `body.provider.order=["anthropic"]` picks where the model runs
`header`, `max_tokens`, `temperature`, `top_p`, `frames`, `timeout`, `insecure`	As listed; the chat options apply to chat models
