Can you please provide info on how to setup parameters. Currently the assistant is sending user input as argument variables in the message function JSON.

Hi there! I found some information about setting up parameters in Vapi's new Tools for function calls 👋 To configure parameters for function calls, you'll need to structure your tool configuration like this:

json
{
  "type": "function",
  "messages": [ 
    { "type": "request-start", "content": "Initiating the process..." },
    { "type": "request-complete", "content": "Process completed." },
    { "type": "request-failed", "content": "Process failed." }
  ],
  "function": {
    "name": "exampleFunction",
    "parameters": { 
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "param1": { "type": "string" },
        "param2": { "type": "integer" }
      }
    },
    "description": "Sample function"
  },
  "async": false,
  "server": { "url": "https://api.server.com" }
}

The key part for your parameters is in the

function.parameters

object where you define the structure of your parameters [source](https://docs.vapi.ai/tools/custom-tools). For your specific issue with user input being sent as argument variables, make sure you're properly defining your parameter object and that variables are correctly referenced and interpolated. If configured improperly, this can result in unresolved placeholders being sent rather than the resolved variable [source](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/1315677399026765855). When your server receives the function call, it should respond with a properly formatted JSON that includes the

toolCallId

and `result`:

json
{
  "results": [
    {
      "toolCallId": "unique_call_id",
      "result": "Processed result"
    }
  ]
}

Is there a specific part of the parameter configuration you're having trouble with? Sources: - [Vapi Custom Tools Documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/tools/custom-tools) - [Discord Channel Discussion](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1315677399026765855)

How to setup the parameters in the tools UI page or how to setup in JSON code?

heyo

I am creating a tool using https request and everything resets everytine I go into the dashboard @Vapi Support Bot

what do you mean resets?

The tools go back to default and removes the properties

haha, i was just trying to create a tool with the api

It works only once and when I refresh. It all goes back to default.

i setup a tool using the API

Hi

Same issue. I think you should call the API from Vapi API

you have to create the tool from the API

Is there a step by step guide to do this, last time I did work using api my agent data got overwritten and I dont even know how, thats why i prefere ui.

no, u kinda need to be a dev or something to get this done

@badbunny2222 @ShabnamE @Pen 💻 @thevin @Mr.snack We will add the parameters UI to the dashboard within a day.
