Parameter map (what exists and why)

This section focuses on the knobs you can configure programmatically for Azure OpenAI Chat Completions.

The main families

  1. Decoding / randomness: temperature, top_p
  2. Repetition / novelty: frequency_penalty, presence_penalty
  3. Length & stopping: max_tokens / max_completion_tokens, stop
  4. Determinism & debugging: seed, logprobs, top_logprobs
  5. Structure & tool calls: response_format, tools, tool_choice

Azure’s REST reference and the OpenAI parameter reference define these fields and ranges.
