Hell how do I turn on Async in Tools tab

Vapi changed their UI lately, I can not turn on the Async in the Tools Tab, because it's gone

Hi there! 👋 Based on the documentation I found, enabling the Async feature for a tool in Vapi is done through the tool's configuration JSON rather than a UI toggle in the Tools tab. To enable a tool to operate asynchronously, you need to set the
async
property to
true
in the tool's configuration like this:
Copy code
json
{
  "temperature": 0.1,
  "toolIds": [
    "28ac2a2d-5454-4390-b0b0-d9a97baf0b73",
    "2da5ce83-b311-4f71-be5f-78d8559066bf"
  ],
  "tools": [
    {
      "type": "function",
      "async": true,
      // ... any additional configuration specific to this tool
    }
  ]
}
I wasn't able to find specific information about recent UI changes to the Tools tab that might have removed a previously existing toggle for this feature. If you were previously able to enable Async through the UI, it seems this functionality may have been moved to the JSON configuration approach described above. For more details on tool configuration, you can check the [Vapi documentation on tools](https://docs.vapi.ai/tools).
