What is the issue?

The current version of llama3.1 doesn't support tool use:

$ curl -s http://aitoolkit:11434/v1/chat/completions -d '{"model": "llama3.1","tools":[{"type":"function","function": {}}], "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"weather in zurich"}], "stream": false}' | jq
{
  "error": {
    "message": "llama3.1 does not support tools",
    "type": "api_error",
    "param": null,
    "code": null
  }
}

I was able to make it work by using the template from llama3-groq-tool-use:

$ curl -s http://aitoolkit:11434/v1/chat/completions -d '{"model": "llama3.1-tool","tools":[{"type":"function","function": {}}], "messages": [{"role":"user","content":"weather in zurich"}], "stream": false}' | jq

  "model": "llama3.1-tool",
  "system_fingerprint": "fp_ollama",
  "choices": [

      "message": {

              "name": "get_weather",
              "arguments": "{}"
            }
          }
        ]
      },
      "finish_reason": "stop"
    }
  ],
  "usage": {
    "prompt_tokens": 139,
    "completion_tokens": 20,
    "total_tokens": 159
  }
}

Maybe we can use this page https://llama.meta.com/docs/model-cards-and-prompt-formats/llama3_1/ as a reference for the tool calling template?
