Changelog Entry

Description

Enables full context injection when native tool calling is enabled. For files or knowledge bases (KB) that are attached to a model, clicking the file or KB and toggling 'Using Entire Document' now properly injects the full context of that file or KB into the message and removes the files / KBs from being included in the native query_knowledge_files function. This functionality was present for files / KBs attached to chats directly but was not enabled for files / KBs attached to models.

Added

NA

Changed

middleware.py: Full-context files now bypass RAG and inject directly into the conversation regardless of function calling mode; non-full-context files continue to use RAG when native FC is disabled
ModelEditor.svelte: Preserves the context property when converting legacy knowledge items
builtin.py: Skips full-context files in query_knowledge_files to prevent redundant searching (content already in conversation)

Deprecated

NA

Removed

NA

Fixed

NA

Security

BREAKING CHANGE: NA

Builtin tools enabled for all screenshots

Open WebUI 0.7.2 (main) - Example of how turn on 'Using Entire Document' is not doing anything in current OWUI version with Builtin Tools checked. Token counts remain near identical but the document at hand is ~115k tokens in size.
