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
Querying an LLM using native functions with a large OpenAPI tool equipped should provide some way of filtering or disabling available endpoints down to a subset of functionality, to remain within LLM limits.
I have observed this issue on two separate OpenWebUI instances, both with external OpenAPI endpoints and also via MCPO.
Actual Behavior
Adding the OpenWebUI openapi.json as a system-wide tool, and querying GPT-4.1 with that tool equipped, produces an error 400: Invalid 'tools': array too long. Expected an array with maximum length 128, but got an array with length 315 instead.
Steps to Reproduce
In Admin Panel -> Tools, add a tool server for https:///openapi.json. Use 'Verify Connection' to ensure it's connecting correctly.
Refresh the browser, then open a new chat with OpenAI's gpt-4.1 or o4-mini.
In Chat Controls, set Function Calling to 'native'.
In the message bar, click the + and enable the 'Open WebUI' endpoint.
Send any message to the LLM.
Error message as received: "400: Invalid 'tools': array too long. Expected an array with maximum length 128, but got an array with length 315 instead."

OpenAI needs to support more tools to be included in the chat request.
