Problem Description

I'm trying to expose an OpenAPI endpoint to my users via Tools but there isn't an option to authenticate via OAuth. This is a significant gap because without OAuth I can't provide authorization and personalized access to my service.

Desired Solution you'd like

It would be great if admins could configure a Tool to be access via OAuth. Once configured the regular user will enable the Tool on its chat and if the LLM requires access to the Tool the user will be invited to Sign In in the external service. Once logged in the LLM will be able to call the Tool (OpenAPI).
