Good to know
- Cline sends tool definitions with every request: take a model whose tool calling is measured.
- Cline cannot guess the limits of a model ID it does not know: fill in the context window and the maximum output yourself.
- Stay on OpenAI Compatible: Cline's Anthropic provider only lists Claude models.
Where your prompts go
Cline's privacy notice says that with your own key you deal with that provider directly and Cline does not collect the traffic; only Cline's hosted models go through Cline.
On Evanesca's side, the model runs at a European operator, named with its place in the x-evanesca-operator and x-evanesca-location headers of every response, and Evanesca keeps no copy of prompts or answers — only the billing data of each call. What each operator keeps is set out in Models and Europe; the host of Evanesca's servers is named in the legal notice.
