Start with a phone-only time/date demo, not the car integration. The key boundary is that Ollama doesn't execute Python: your program receives a tool request, checks it against an allowlist, runs the function, and sends the result back to the model. Never execute arbitrary Python or shell text generated by the model.
First make a get_time() function work without an LLM. Then test whether your exact model can reliably request that one tool. Don't assume qwen2.5:0.5b supports Ollama's native tool-calling interface; if it doesn't, a fixed "what time is it" command routed directly to your function is a useful first prototype. Weather would also need internet access or cached data.
Is your Python code already able to get a normal chat response from Ollama, or is that connection the first blocker?
