How it works

Tenro intercepts the Gemini SDK's outbound HTTP request and returns your configured response. No real network call is made.

from google import genai

client = genai.Client(api_key="your-key")
response = client.models.generate_content(
    model="gemini-2.0-flash",
    contents="Hello",
)
# In tests, Tenro returns your simulated response

Capabilities

Capability Supported Notes
TEXT Yes Basic text generation
FUNCTION_CALL Yes Gemini-style function calling
STREAMING Coming soon Server-sent events

Simulating responses

Basic text

from tenro import Provider
from tenro.simulate import llm, tool

llm.simulate(Provider.GEMINI, response="Hello!")

With function calls

Use ToolCall to simulate LLM responses that include function calls:

from tenro import Provider, ToolCall
from tenro.simulate import llm

# Single response with text + tool call (nested list = one LLM call)
llm.simulate(
    provider=Provider.GEMINI,
    responses=[["I'll search for that.", ToolCall(search, query="AI")]]
)

# Tool call only (no text)
llm.simulate(
    provider=Provider.GEMINI,
    responses=[ToolCall("search", query="AI")]
)

Provider format handled automatically

ToolCall uses a unified format. Tenro converts to Gemini's native format (with args instead of arguments) internally.

Multi-turn conversations

from tenro import Provider
from tenro.simulate import llm, tool

llm.simulate(
    provider=Provider.GEMINI,
    responses=[
        "Let me think about that...",  # First LLM call
        "Here's my answer: 42"          # Second LLM call
    ]
)

Response format

Tenro returns a valid Gemini GenerateContentResponse object:

{
    "candidates": [{
        "content": {
            "parts": [{"text": "Hello!"}],
            "role": "model"
        },
        "finishReason": "STOP",
        "index": 0
    }],
    "usageMetadata": {
        "promptTokenCount": 10,
        "candidatesTokenCount": 5,
        "totalTokenCount": 15
    }
}
