Hey team, Since yesterday (December 16, 2025), the Code Tool option has completely vanished from the dashboard when creating or editing assistants. This is happening across ALL my accounts (free and paid) and I've confirmed it's also gone for other creators (including US-based ones I've spoken to). - No announcement in changelog, blog, or anywhere else - Documentation still describes Code Tools as active and available - I've already posted about this in the community forum (no response) - Sent email to support more than 48 hours ago (no reply) - Multiple messages here in #1211483291191083018 since yesterday (still no response) This is breaking production calls that rely on serverless TypeScript execution. We need an official response ASAP: Is the Code Tool deprecated/removed? Is this a bug? When will it be back (if temporary)? Please acknowledge and clarify. Thanks.

Thank you for your detailed report. According to the latest documentation, the Code Tool should still be available and there is no official notice of deprecation or removal. Since you and others are experiencing this across multiple accounts and regions, it may be a platform issue. To help us investigate further, could you please confirm if you see the Code Tool option missing in both the dashboard and when attempting to create tools via the API, or is it only a dashboard UI issue?

@LUMIN AI I just created a post on some tools of mine being deleted, it couldve been this other contractor as mentioned in my post or VAPI. Not sure whats going on but could be related. https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1451005942400553083

Thanks for the quick response! To answer your question: - The Code Tool is completely missing from the DASHBOARD UI when creating or editing tools in any assistant (across all my accounts: free and paid, different browsers, incognito mode, etc.). - I have NOT tested creating tools via the API yet (I don't have an active integration using the API for tools right now), but I can try it if needed. Other creators (including one US-based I've talked to) confirmed the exact same thing: the option simply doesn't appear anymore in the dashboard since Dec 16. This is blocking production assistants that were using serverless TypeScript execution. Any ETA on a fix or workaround in the meantime? Really appreciate your help escalating this. Thanks! https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1451011374808305674/1451013086956884038/IMG_0562.png?ex=6944a0be&is=69434f3e&hm=e1b3ad31e1f1afa5461e13391ceddbf5bcee4545f452ef00e3cc3c412790d6da&

Workaround: While the Code Tool is missing from the dashboard UI, you can still create a Code Tool via the API as a temporary solution. Use the following

curl

command (replace placeholders as needed):

bash
curl --location 'https://api.vapi.ai/tool' \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_API_KEY>' \
  --data '{
    "type": "code",
    "name": "get_customer",
    "description": "Retrieves customer information by their ID",
    "code": "const { customerId } = args;\nconst { API_KEY } = env;\n\nconst response = await fetch(`https://api.example.com/customers/${customerId}`, {headers: { \"Authorization\": `Bearer ${API_KEY}` }});\n\nreturn await response.json();",
    "parameters": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "customerId": {
          "type": "string",
          "description": "The unique customer identifier"
        }
      },
      "required": ["customerId"]
    }
  }'

This allows you to add Code Tools to your assistants until the dashboard issue is resolved. For more details, see the [official documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/tools/code-tool). Source: - [Vapi Code Tool Documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/tools/code-tool)

Just a heads up, the code tool is in alpha stage and will be officially released sometime later on.
