Check Existing Issues

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

Installation Method

Git Clone

Open WebUI Version

v0.6.5

Ollama Version (if applicable)

No response

Operating System

macOS

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 listed steps to reproduce the bug in detail.

Expected Behavior

The function definition within the generated tool spec should not contain a type parameter. When the API is called based on OpenAI spec, no type parameter should be passed under function.

Actual Behavior

When converting an OpenAPI specification to a tool spec, an unnecessary type parameter is being added under the function definition in the resulting tool spec.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable native function calling
  2. Use OpenAPI Tool Server
  3. Send request

Logs & Screenshots

tools[0] from Open WebUI, tools[1] and tools[2] from OpenAPI Tool Server,
