Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Inline-content recommendation is general guidance, not stated in the fetched source. Other error fragments: - Skills are not supported on Bedrock. - Files are not supported on Vertex. - Skills are not supported on Vertex. - Files are not supported on Bedrock Mantle. Only Messages (/v1/messages) is supported. - Models listing is not supported on Bedrock Mantle. Only Messages (/v1/messages) is supported.
