Changelog Entry

Description

Some bugs exist when handling builtin tools:

Prompt injections of capabilities (e.g. web search) are always skipped for models with native function calls, even if builtin_tools are set to False.
Some builtin tools will always be added to the tools list, without checking the features flag.

Fixed

Setting builtin_tools to False no longer breaks the capabilities of models with native function calls.
Builtin tools like Web Search are accessible to the models only when they are explicitly enabled.
