Was this model fine-tuned on tool usage, especially tools and formats specific to OpenHands?
I think no
For this iteration, we used XML in chat tool use format instead of the regular tool call format as it led to better performance for agents. So it should be good at tool use but the way to leverage it is a bit different, it's only assistant and user messages.
You'd provide in the system prompt the list of your tools and instructions on how to use this format, for instance like this
You then parse the output using an XML parser XMLFunctionCallingParser, compute the tool and respond that as user message to the assistant.
