You're mixing up callable and regular HTTP type functions. That's not going to work at all.

On your function side, you're declaring the function as a regular HTTP type function using the onRequest callback. This means you need to use an HTTP client library to access it.

On your client side, you're trying to invoke the function as a callable type function using the Functions client SDK. This requires that you declare your function using an onCall callback, not the onRequest callback that you're using now. Callables have a special protocol that's implemented by the client SDK.

The client and server have to match; right now they do not. If you want to use a callable function, follow all the instructions in the linked documentation. If you want a regular HTTP type function, you can't use Functions client SDK. You have to use some other HTTP client library.
