Hi @John_Rodriguez_0906, I'm an AI assistant for Vapi. I'll analyze available sources and get back to you shortly. ----------------------------- While I generate an answer, here are some sources that might be helpful: * Tools Calling * Server Events * Function Calling * Get Call -----------------------------

Answer To activate and configure tools functions from your server when using Vapi, you will need to set up a "function" type tool within your Vapi assistant’s configuration. Here's a basic outline on how to do this: 1. Define the Tool Configuration: Specify the type of tool, the server where the function is hosted, and other details such as whether the function call should be synchronous or asynchronous.

{
  "type": "function",
  "messages": [
    {
      "type": "request-start",
      "content": "Processing your request..."
    },
    {
      "type": "request-complete",
      "content": "Function executed successfully!"
    }
  ],
  "function": {
    "name": "your_function_name",
    "parameters": {},
    "description": "A brief description of what the function does"
  },
  "async": false,
  "server": {
    "url": "https://your-server.com/your-function-endpoint"
  }
}

{
  "type": "function",
  "messages": [
    {
      "type": "request-start",
      "content": "Processing your request..."
    },
    {
      "type": "request-complete",
      "content": "Function executed successfully!"
    }
  ],
  "function": {
    "name": "your_function_name",
    "parameters": {},
    "description": "A brief description of what the function does"
  },
  "async": false,
  "server": {
    "url": "https://your-server.com/your-function-endpoint"
  }
}

(1) , (2) 2. Customize the Tool Messages: Edit the messages array to tailor the communication flow as per your needs, adding or removing messages to reflect the stages of function execution. 3. Set Server URL: Ensure that the server URL accurately points to your hosted function endpoint. 4. Adapt to Your Needs: Adjust the function details such as name and parameters based on the specific requirements of your server’s function. For a more detailed setup and examples, you may refer to the Tools Calling section in the Vapi documentation Tools Calling (1) , (2) .

Can you be more specific and tell me what is the issue that you are facing?

sure sahil, I have an app running on port 3000 to call clients through the api using an x command - example: bun run call:people passing a few list of numbers but when I call the clients through the console, although the call is made, the tools are not called, they are called very occasionally let me put some code snippets here
