Why are there so many stability issues? I have clients using it and this shit goes down all the time. Had a big event planned today and now none of my assistants are working because of no tool calls working!

3. **Missing Tool Type**: You might need to add the
type
field to your tool configuration. The error message might look like:
"assistant.model.each value in tools.type must be one of the following values: dtmf, endCall, transferCall, voicemail, output, make, ghl, bash, computer, textEditor, function"
according to [user reports](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1333880245681393756). 4. **Webhook Issues**: Problems with webhooks not triggering correctly can prevent tool calls from functioning properly, as mentioned in [troubleshooting guides](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1326809606671958080). 5. **Async Tool Call Problems**: With async tool calls, the client automatically sends back a
tool_call_result
message with result
Success
, which can interrupt and confuse the Assistant, as noted in [Discord discussions](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1342336047589359618). For immediate troubleshooting, I'd recommend checking your server logs, reviewing your tool configuration (especially the
type
field and response format), and gathering your Call IDs to help diagnose the specific issue you're facing. Would you like more detailed information about any of these potential issues?

Hi there! I understand your frustration with the tool call issues you're experiencing, especially with an important event planned today. I'm unable to diagnose exactly what's happening with your specific tool calls right now, but I can definitely help with information about common tool call issues and recent stability problems that have been reported. Based on the information I found, there have been several stability issues reported with Vapi's platform recently: ## Recent Stability Issues According to [user reports in Discord](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1334159219649417289), users have experienced: - 524 errors and failed calls - Concurrency limit issues and missing status reports/webhooks - Database outages with Supabase that temporarily affected Vapi - Issues with webhook inconsistencies where webhook calls sometimes don't send post requests - Problems with the
transferCall
tool not working as expected ## Common Tool Call Issues Here are some common reasons tool calls might not be working: 1. **Configuration Issues**: According to [troubleshooting information](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1334114042876264518), tools might not be automatically called due to configuration problems or the need for explicit user input. 2. **Response Format Problems**: The tool call response must be in the correct format with the
result
field as a single-line string without line breaks, as noted in [Discord discussions](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1342188078437236916).

Hey Amurgio, please be mindful of your language. Tools not working could be due to prompting model hallucination or other issues. I understand your frustration and hard work. Sharing your call ID will help me investigate what went wrong. Please provide the following information in the specified format.  To help track down this issue, could you share: - The call ID - When exactly this happened (the timestamp) - What response you expected to get - What response you actually got instead
