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 RAG_TEMPLATE is not applied to documents retrieved by tools. Modifying the RAG_TEMPLATE to include debugging instructions or other changes does not affect the output when documents are retrieved using a tool.
Actual Behavior
The RAG_TEMPLATE is not applied to documents retrieved by tools. Modifying the RAG_TEMPLATE to include debugging instructions or other changes does not affect the output when documents are retrieved using a tool.
Steps to Reproduce
Configure a tool to retrieve documents.
Modify the RAG_TEMPLATE to include a debugging instruction or a noticeable change.
Execute the tool and observe the output and subsequent assistant response.
Verify that the RAG_TEMPLATE changes are not reflected in the assistant response.
In addition the inlet Filter only apply before tool execution, there is no way to apply a filter between the tool and the next assistant response.

Ideally we would have the possibility to directly modify/add messages within the tool

Pipe is the solution to directly modify/add messages within the tool. This is true I am sorry I am quite new using this (2days).
Or the fact that the RAG_TEMPLATE does not apply to the citations added by a tool is expected, and to apply the RAG_TEMPLATE myself via a pipe that would detect citations ?
Or both ?
Bests,

You should use a Pipe Function for this and not a tool.
