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
Docker
Open WebUI Version
v0.8.8
Ollama Version (if applicable)
v0.17.5
Operating System
Debian Trixi
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
It is expected that tools are send to the model when activated in the chat.
Actual Behavior
Tools are not in the message posted to the model. This was captured with tcpdump.
{"model": "qwen2.5-coder:7b", "messages": [{"role": "system", "content": "You have access to Tools. Use the tools to retrieve facts. Use a step-by-step reasoning process."}, {"role": "user", "content": "What is the current time"}], "stream": true, "options": {"num_ctx": 4096, "num_gpu": 40, "num_thread": 8}}
Steps to Reproduce
Steps:
Install latest open-webui with docker compose.
Install latest ollama with docker compose.
Download "qwen2.5-coder:7b" model.
Install mcpo with mcp-server-time.
Enable mcp-server-time as tool and disable all other tools.
In older version the log also showed retrieving openapi.json, but this string no longer appears in the docker logs.
