I am creating a assistant via the node sever sdk and i want to make it use a existing tool, i already have a tool created in the vapi dashboard and it has worked in the past with assistants created from the dashboard. I am currently doing this: model: { toolIds: ["my-tool-id"], provider: "openai", model: "gpt-4o-mini", messages: [ { role: "system", content: "System Prompt which includes the exact name of the tool", }, ] }, Upon creating the agent i can clearly see that the tool has been set but it never gets used in the call as it had with assistants created in the dashboard.

Include the correct tool ID in the toolIds array within the assistant’s model config, ensure the tool is properly set up and active in your vapi Dashboard, reference the tool in the system prompt, then test and verify the tool is called during interactions..

All of that is already confirmed. But it still does not work as it should.
