### Answer When you attempt to update the tools array using the PATCH API call for an assistant, it is necessary to provide complete details such as the provider, model name, and other required attributes because the update operation does not automatically inherit or retain the existing settings from the previously configured assistant. The API expects each tool modification to be specified explicitly to ensure that all necessary configurations are correctly established and to prevent any unintended behaviors or configurations from being applied [(1)]() . This approach ensures precise control over the settings during updates, which is crucial in maintaining the expected performance and functionality of the assistant's tools. For more detailed information, you can refer to the documentation on updating an assistant where this behavior is outlined .
