Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview Custom Tools is a variant of Gemini 3.1 Pro that improves tool selection behavior by preventing overuse of a general bash tool when more efficient third-party or user-defined functions are available. This specialized preview endpoint significantly increases function calling reliability and ensures the model selects the most appropriate tool in coding agents and complex, multi-tool workflows.
It retains the core strengths of Gemini 3.1 Pro, including multimodal reasoning across text, image, video, audio, and code, a 1M-token context window, and strong software engineering performance.
