Changelog Entry

Description

Relates to #20549

When builtin_tools capability is disabled on a model (e.g. to prevent builtin tools from being injected into API calls, as described in #20549), the entire get_builtin_tools() call is skipped in native function calling mode. This also disables web search, even when ENABLE_WEB_SEARCH=True and the model has web_search capability enabled.

This PR adds an elif fallback that injects only search_web and fetch_url tools when builtin_tools is off but web search should be available.

Added

  • Fallback path in middleware.py to inject web search tools (search_web, fetch_url) in native FC mode when builtin_tools is disabled but web search is enabled

Changed

  • N/A

Deprecated

  • N/A

Removed

  • N/A

Fixed

  • Web search now works in native function calling mode even when model builtin_tools capability is disabled, as long as ENABLE_WEB_SEARCH is enabled globally and the model has web_search capability

Security

Breaking Changes

Additional Information

Behavior matrix:

builtin_tools web_search Result
ON ON All tools injected (unchanged)
ON OFF All tools injected (unchanged, WIP per #20595)
OFF ON Only web search tools injected (FIXED)
OFF OFF No tools injected (unchanged)
non-native FC any RAG path (unaffected)
