Same Error Over and Over

Hi, I'm trying to add a property called "address" to my function tool under the "customer" object, but I keep getting an error when I try to save it. I already have "customer.name" and "customer.phone" properties working fine, but when I try to add "customer.address" with type "string", it fails. Can you help? Is this a known bug? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1439793074372083782/1439793074648645752/image.png?ex=6947f98b&is=6946a80b&hm=923f294ab6c8f04abfd76b7ccb306b6f36f621d37adba2dd6ff808dd9877cef1&

Hello?

Our team is aware of the current issue affecting updates to the API Request tool in the dashboard. This bug prevents editing properties, renaming, or creating new tools of this type. We’re already working on a fix and expect to have it resolved soon. In the meantime, the workaround is to update this tool via the API instead of the UI. That will allow you to modify or recreate the tool without hitting the UI limitation. If you need help with the API request format or want us to generate a sample call for your tool, feel free to share the tool ID and what you want to change — happy to help.

How do I change it through the API?

Hi there — quick update! You won’t need to use the API anymore since we’ve fixed the issue in the dashboard and you can now edit your tool directly. That said, if you ever run into this again or prefer using the API as a workaround, you can modify the tool with a
