Unsure if Gemini AI Studio allows API calls to Hugging Face models from within its environment

Hi everyone,
I’m experimenting with Gemini AI Studio (the prototyping environment) and I’m trying to understand if it’s possible to call external tools — specifically Hugging Face models — via API directly from within the Studio environment (e.g., using fetch() or other client-side calls).

I’ve seen some integrations work (like Pollination for image generation), but the same doesn’t happen with Hugging Face endpoints, possibly due to CORS restrictions or token handling.

Could anyone confirm whether Gemini Studio supports API calls to third-party services like Hugging Face from its browser-based environment, or if this is only allowed in backend/production contexts via Gemini Build?

Thanks in advance for any clarification!
