The llm-openrouter plugin has been updated to version 0.7 to support LLM 0.32, allowing users to view reasoning traces for models accessed through OpenRouter. This release shifts the underlying implementation to use OpenRouter’s version of the Responses API and introduces three new server-side tools: Shell, WebFetch, and WebSearch. Developers can activate these utilities by passing specific flags such as -T WebSearch when configuring their requests.
These changes address practical limitations in how external models interact with live systems and complex data. By exposing reasoning traces, the update gives users visibility into the logic behind model outputs rather than just the final answer. The addition of direct shell access and web retrieval capabilities removes the need for separate integrations when automating tasks that require browsing or command execution.
* Shell access enables direct system command execution within the model context
* WebFetch and WebSearch tools allow automated internet data retrieval
* Reasoning traces provide insight into model decision-making processes
