+## Viability Verdict
+
+**VERDICT: NOT VIABLE** — 1-bit quantization destroys tool calling capability. Recommend minimum 3-bit quantization for tool-using models.

+"""
+1-Bit Model Tool Calling Test Suite (Issue #101).
+
+Tests whether quantized/1-bit models can handle structured tool calling.
+Designed to be run against any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (llama-server, Ollama).
+
+The core question: does 1-bit quantization destroy the precise JSON output
+required for tool calling? This suite measures it empirically.
+
+Usage:
+    # Against local llama-server
+    python3 benchmarks/test_bonsai_tool_calling.py \
+        --url http://localhost:8081/v1/chat/completions \
+        --model bonsai-1b
+
+    # Against Ollama
+    python3 benchmarks/test_bonsai_tool_calling.py \
+        --url http://localhost:11434/api/chat \
+        --model bonsai:latest \
+        --backend ollama
+
+    # Dry run (validate test cases without model)
