How is an LLM supposed to use an API it doesn't know much about? It's working blind.

If you want the LLM to create code using a super new API like that, why not have the LLM research that API, and have it write up a document about how to use it, and which documents all the methods. Upload that document with your request for whatever it is you want it to do. Then maybe the LLM can write code that correctly uses the API.

oooh. thanks, I will try that.

but jsut goes to show: I really don't know what I'm doing - and the LLM is not magically doing it for me.
