Check Existing Issues

  • I have searched for any existing and/or related issues.
  • I have searched for any existing and/or related discussions.
  • I have also searched in the CLOSED issues AND CLOSED discussions and found no related items (your issue might already be addressed on the development branch!).
  • I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

0.9.1

Ollama Version (if applicable)

lm studio 4.12

Operating System

windows with docker

Browser (if applicable)

No response

Confirmation

  • I have read and followed all instructions in README.md.
  • I am using the latest version of both Open WebUI and Ollama.
  • I have included the browser console logs.
  • I have included the Docker container logs.
  • I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
  • I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
  • I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
  • Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
  • Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
  • List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
  • Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
  • Include any files or environmental changes,
  • Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
  • Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

Expected Behavior

user requests with tool calls are expected to generate response even when a model is called using @model inside a chat or a channel

Actual Behavior

@model with tool call fails. general chat produces response, where ever tool call is needed, it fails.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. enable tool call on two models
  2. start a fresh chat and generate a result using tool call.
  3. use @model_2 to prompt the model 2 to use the tool and generate response
  4. the response -<|start|>assistant<|channel|>commentary to=functions.tool_search_news_post<|message|>{"query":"cryptocurrency","time_range":"week"}
  5. same model 2 in fresh chat works perfectly with the same tool call.. only when used with in a chat using @ or used inside a channel via @

Logs & Screenshots

The docker log shows that the tool executed well -
