Parameters

​
Core Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
modelstring✅ Yes--Model ID used to generate the response, like gpt-4o or o3.
inputstring/array✅ Yes--Input content for the model.
>input.rolestring✅ Yes-user
assistant
system
developer		The role of the message input. One of user, assistant, system, or developer.
>input.contentstring/array✅ Yes--A text input to the model when string; a list of one or many input items to the model, containing different content types when array. See Multimodal Input for details.

​
Advanced Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDefaultRangeDescription
streamboolean❌ Nofalsetrue
false		Whether to stream the response back incrementally. Defaults to false.
max_output_tokensinteger❌ No--An upper bound for the number of tokens that can be generated for a response, including visible output tokens and reasoning tokens.
reasoningobject❌ No--Configuration options for reasoning models (gpt-5 and o-series models only).
>reasoning.effortstring❌ Nomediumnone
minimal
low
medium
high
xhigh		Constrains effort on reasoning for reasoning models. Reducing reasoning effort can result in faster responses and fewer tokens used on reasoning. See Model-Specific Reasoning Configurations for details.
>reasoning.summarystring❌ No-auto
concise
detailed		A summary of the reasoning performed by the model. Useful for debugging and understanding the model’s reasoning process.
toolsarray❌ No--A list of tools the model may call. Currently, only functions are supported as a tool. Use this to provide a list of functions the model may generate JSON inputs for. See Tools Parameters for details.

​
Model-Specific Reasoning.effort Configurations

Constrains effort on reasoning for reasoning models. Currently supported values are none, minimal, low, medium, high, and xhigh. Reducing reasoning effort can result in faster responses and fewer tokens used on reasoning in a response.
  • gpt-5.1 defaults to none, which does not perform reasoning. The supported reasoning values for gpt-5.1 are none, low, medium, and high. Tool calls are supported for all reasoning values in gpt-5.1.
  • All models before gpt-5.1 default to medium reasoning effort, and do not support none.
  • The gpt-5-pro model defaults to (and only supports) high reasoning effort.
  • xhigh is supported for all models after gpt-5.1-codex-max.
