FAQ: Why can my key not use this model?

model_not_found can mean the model ID is wrong, but it can also mean the API key is not allowed to use that model.

Check this first

1. Copy the exact model ID from Models.
2. Confirm the API key is enabled.
3. Confirm the key's model scope includes that model.
4. Send a tiny chat/completions request.
5. Check Usage Logs for the exact model ID that reached NexoRouter.

Why scope exists

Model scope helps keep test keys, teammates, and tools from accidentally using expensive or unapproved models.

Fix

Create a new key with the right model scope for that tool. Do not broaden a production key just to fix a local test.
