Check Existing Issues

I have searched the existing issues and discussions.
I am using the latest version of Open WebUI.

Installation Method

Docker

Open WebUI Version

v0.5.16

Ollama Version (if applicable)

0.6.1

Operating System

Ubuntu 20.04.6

Browser (if applicable)

Chrome Version 134.0.6998.166

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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

OpenWebUI will successfully interpret API requests (via the Ollama endpoint) that involve tool calling, specifically the Goose agent (see also the bug I filed against Goose; I'm not sure what program the bug is in).

Actual Behavior

OpenWebUI fails with Field required [type=missing, input_value={'role': 'assistant', 'to...', 'type': 'function'}]}, input_type=dict]

Steps to Reproduce

Install Goose
Run goose configure. Select OpenAI and
a. Configure the host to be your OpenWebUI instance.
b. Configure the base path to be ollama/v1/chat/completions.
c. Select qwen2.5-coder:1.5b as the model.
Run goose session
Perform any command. Either immediately or after one or two commands, Goose will start failing due to 400 bad request errors. Every subsequent command will cause the same error. The only fix is to start a new session.

Additional Information

When I use Goose via Ollama directly (on the same machine that Goose is running, as opposed to the different machine on which OpenWebUI is running, with its own instance of Ollama), everything works. This is why I believe it may be a bug in OpenWebUI, not Goose.
