GonkaGate Datetime Server Tool

Use gonkagate:datetime when a prompt depends on the current date, time, or weekday. GonkaGate adds the current datetime context before the model answers.

Quick start

datetime.sh

export GONKAGATE_API_KEY="gp-your-api-key"

curl https://api.gonkagate.com/v1/chat/completions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $GONKAGATE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "qwen/qwen3-235b-a22b-instruct-2507-fp8",
    "messages": [
      {
        "role": "user",
        "content": "What day of the week is it in Tokyo right now?"
      }
    ],
    "tools": [
      {
        "type": "gonkagate:datetime",
        "parameters": { "timezone": "Asia/Tokyo" }
      }
    ]
  }'

Configuration

request.json

{
  "tools": [
    {
      "type": "gonkagate:datetime",
      "parameters": {
        "timezone": "America/New_York"
      }
    }
  ]
}

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
`timezone`	string	`UTC`	IANA timezone name such as `America/New_York`, `Europe/London`, or `Asia/Tokyo`.

If timezone is omitted, GonkaGate uses UTC.

Tool result

The model receives a datetime object like this:

Tool result

{
  "datetime": "2026-06-29T08:00:00.000-04:00",
  "timezone": "America/New_York"
}

Your application receives the normal chat-completions response. The raw datetime object is tool context for the model.

Common errors

Error code	What it means	Fix
`invalid_server_tool_parameters`	`timezone` is empty, not a string, or not a valid IANA timezone name.	Use a valid IANA timezone such as `UTC`, `Europe/London`, or `Asia/Tokyo`.
`unsupported_server_tool`	The request used an unknown `gonkagate:*` tool type.	Use `gonkagate:datetime`, `gonkagate:web_search`, or `gonkagate:web_fetch`.
