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?

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).Vapi Support Bot
