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

Other

Open WebUI Version

v0.8.7

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04

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

After adding an Open Terminal server in the user settings, the LLM should receive information about the tools provided by Open Terminal.

Actual Behavior

I can interact with the Open Terminal UI, but the model does not have any tools available to interact with it.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add Open Terminal server through user settings
  2. In the chat, ask to interact with the terminal or for a list of available tools

Logs & Screenshots

When asking the model for its available tools after adding the Open Terminal connection:

I have access to the following tools to help you:

did you enable the tool too in the chat interface? cannot reproduce if enabling the tool in the chat.

PS: for best experience use the direct open terminal integration

@Classic298 you mean here? Yes, and it still doesn't seem to work

If you mean under Integrations -> Tools, there's nothing Terminal-related listed there. I've tried this on two separate Open WebUI instances with different model setups and both had the same problem.

Yep, that part works perfectly fine. Only the model doesn't seem to have the tools available to interact with the Terminal

what model is it?

We have heard recently that the qwen models, the newer ones in particular, dont work well with open terminal and dont recognize the open terminal tools.

I tested with one of the new Qwen models and DeepSeek V3.2. I would understand that the model might have trouble to detect when to use the tool correctly, but I would assume that it would be able to output the tool name if specifically asked to list the tools it has available, since it manages to do that for all the other ones

DeepSeek V3.2 is notoriously bad at tool calling as written in our Docs page (we have had this report many times. This is really just a DeepSeek Fault)

The new Qwen model somehow somewhy struggles with this a lot. Please try a different model

Unfortunately i cannot reproduce this behaviour. The tools get injected in my case.
Do you have some specific steps to reproduce I can follow to 100% reproduce this?

@karuko24 while at it - test if there is a difference if the open terminal is added on user side or admin side.

Okay, I am able to reproduce it on a fresh instance.

I used:

docker run -d -p 3000:8080 -e OPENAI_API_KEY=your_secret_key -v open-webui:/app/backend/data --name open-webui --restart always ghcr.io/open-webui/open-webui:main

Then configured my OpenAI connection to my local mlx server (in the admin settings) and set it to use native function calling.
Next, I went to my user settings and added the Open Terminal connection there. The UI showed me the files, so the connection was working, but when I sent a request and checked the tools, they weren't present.

I then configured it through the admin settings, that one worked fine and the requests contained the expected tools.

I will investigate this thanks for confirming. I have had similar Q earlier today but he managed to make it work in the end but didn't specify how. maybe he used admin connections
