I was trying to implement the assistant with node js using vapi-ai package. after implementing that when i want to run the assistant, it gives me "Couldn't Get Tool.
toolId
********** Does Not Exist." but i cheked in postman with that id and the tool is available. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1329393421684707348/1329393422137561088/image.png?ex=678a2d9a&is=6788dc1a&hm=6fe8a7a772f15cd4fe6b00b3356050144521feed7c08e291771bb7a4cf9b4207&

@himel It sounds like there may be a discrepancy between the environment in which your Node.js application is running and the environment you're testing with Postman. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: 1. **Check the Environment Variables**: Ensure that the
toolId
you are using in your Node.js application is the same as the one you tested with in Postman. Environment-specific variables can sometimes cause this kind of issue. 2. **Verify API Key and Endpoint**: Make sure that the API key and endpoint you are using in your Node.js application are correct and have the necessary permissions to access the tool. 3. **Review the Code**: Double-check your Node.js code to ensure that you are passing the
toolId
correctly to the VAPI function call. 4. **Network Issues**: There might be network issues that are preventing your Node.js application from reaching the VAPI servers. Verify that your application has proper network access. 5. **Version Compatibility**: Ensure that the version of the
vapi-ai
package you are using in your Node.js application is compatible with the tool you are trying to access. 6. **Error Handling**: Implement error handling in your Node.js application to catch and log detailed error messages. This can provide more insight into what might be going wrong. If you've gone through these steps and the issue persists, it might be helpful to contact VAPI support with the details of the error, including the
toolId
and the exact error message you're receiving. They may be able to provide more specific guidance or identify if there's an issue with the tool itself. Remember to handle any sensitive information, such as API keys, securely and ensure they are not exposed in your code or error logs. If you need further assistance, please let me know!
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

@Vapi how to access the tools then while using public key on the node js
v
@himel To access the tools using a public key in Node.js, you typically need to follow these steps: 1. **Install the VAPI Client Library**: If you haven't already, install the VAPI client library for Node.js using npm or yarn. 2. **Import the Library**: In your Node.js application, import the VAPI client library. 3. **Initialize the Client**: Create an instance of the VAPI client and provide your public key and any other necessary configuration details. 4. **Call the Tool**: Use the client instance to call the tool by its
toolId
. Make sure to handle the response and any errors appropriately. Here's a basic example of how you might do this:
Copy code
javascript
// Import the VAPI client library
const VAPIClient = require('vapi-ai');

// Initialize the VAPI client with your public key
const client = new VAPIClient({
  publicKey: 'your-public-key-here'
});

// Define the toolId you want to access
const toolId = '**********';

// Call the tool using the client
client.callTool(toolId, { /* tool-specific parameters */ })
  .then(response => {
    // Handle the successful response here
    console.log('Tool Response:', response);
  })
  .catch(error => {
    // Handle any errors here
    console.error('Error calling tool:', error);
  });
Please replace
'your-public-key-here'
with your actual public key and
'**********'
with the actual
toolId
. Also, fill in the
/* tool-specific parameters */
with the parameters required by the tool you are calling. Make sure that the
vapi-ai
package you are using supports the functionality as described, and that you are using the correct method names and parameters as per the library's documentation. If you encounter any issues or if the
vapi-ai
package does not have the described functionality, you may need to refer to the official documentation or contact support for more information on how to properly implement the tool access in your Node.js application.

@himel could you share the tool id and code snippet so I could take a look?
