  -p {OpenAI,Anthropic,xAI,GoogleAI,VertexAI,Baseten}, --provider {OpenAI,Anthropic,xAI,GoogleAI,VertexAI,Baseten}
                        The LLM provider backend.
                        - 'GoogleAI': Google AI Studio (API Key). Global/Auto-routed.
                        - 'VertexAI': Google Cloud Vertex AI (IAM Auth). Region-specific.

                        *Required* if provider is VertexAI. Ignored for other providers.

The tool requires API keys set as environment variables:

• OPENAI_API_KEY for OpenAI
• GOOGLE_API_KEY for GoogleAI API, or GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT for VertexAI API
• ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for Anthropic
• XAI_API_KEY for xAI
