Google calendar tool error

Hi there! 👋 Sorry to see you're running into that "Tool creation failed" error with your Google Calendar tool. I'm unable to determine the exact cause of your specific error without more details about your setup. However, I can definitely help with some common issues and troubleshooting steps that might resolve this problem. Based on information I've found, here are some potential solutions and common issues that might be causing the "Tool creation failed" error: ### Header Configuration Issues One of the most common issues is incorrect header configuration. Headers should be placed within the "server" object, not in the "metadata" field. Here's the correct structure:
Copy code
json
{
  "server": {
    "url": "https://your-endpoint.com",
    "timeoutSeconds": 30,
    "headers": {
      "x-api": "your-api-key"
    }
  },
  "function": {
    "async": false,
    "name": "yourFunctionName"
  },
  "type": "function",
  "async": false
}
According to [Discord discussions](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1211483291191083018/threads/1341644251510997083), placing headers in the wrong location is a common mistake. ### Troubleshooting Steps Here are some general troubleshooting steps you can try: 1. **Check your webhook configuration**: Ensure the webhook is correctly configured with the proper URL and settings when linking to VAPI. 2. **Browser issues**: Try clearing your browser cache, disabling extensions, or using a different browser. 3. **Inspect network activity**: Use your browser's developer tools to look for failed requests or errors. 4. **Try a different tool type**: Some users have resolved similar issues by using the "Function" tool type instead of other specific types. 5. **Check for header/secret issues**: Headers or secret keys might be getting erased during tool creation. If using a secret, try re-adding it but avoid editing it afterward. 6. **Verify server details**: Double-check your server URL, secret (if applicable), and tool ID.
7. **Check network configurations**: Ensure your network settings allow outbound connections and that authentication tokens/credentials are correctly set up. Would you be able to share more details about your setup or the specific steps you followed? That would help me provide more targeted assistance for your situation!

Hey BIA Energy, can you record a Loom video describing how you reached this error so that I can try to reproduce it on my end and then eventually get a fix for you?
