## About Ollama with LuumenAI

Point Luumen at your Ollama host and use the models you already run. Check what is loaded with OLLAMA_LIST_MODELS, inspect a model's parameters and template with OLLAMA_SHOW, then send prompts through OLLAMA_CHAT or OLLAMA_GENERATE. OpenAI-compatible endpoints are there too. Connect with an API key. Every tool here is read-only.

## Example tools

Read-only (8 in total):

- `OLLAMA_CHAT` — Send a chat message with conversation history to Ollama.
- `OLLAMA_GENERATE` — Generate text responses from Ollama models with optional raw mode.
- `OLLAMA_LIST_MODELS` — List all available Ollama models and their details.
- `OLLAMA_OPEN_AI_CHAT_COMPLETIONS` — Create OpenAI-compatible chat completions using Ollama models.
- `OLLAMA_OPEN_AI_COMPLETIONS` — Create OpenAI-compatible text completions using Ollama models.
- `OLLAMA_OPEN_AI_LIST_MODELS` — List available models using OpenAI-compatible API format.

## Frequently asked questions

### How does LuumenAI connect to Ollama?

Authorize once with API token. Luumen lists the scopes each action needs before you approve the connection, and credentials never appear in the chat.

### Can LuumenAI change things in Ollama on its own?

No. Every one of the 8 tools is read-only, so LuumenAI can answer questions from Ollama but cannot change anything in it.

### Is there an audit trail?

Every call to Ollama is recorded with the actor, the input, and the result.
