VAPI Tool Not Being Called - BYO Phone Number Issue

Issue
Custom async function tool returns "Unknown tool: undefined" during live calls instead of
calling the configured webhook.

Setup
  • BYO phone number (Zadarma SIP)
  • Tool type: function, async: true
  • Tool has server.url configured
  • Tool is in assistant's model.toolIds array
  • GPT-4o modelWhat I See in Call Transcript```AI calls: load_user_memoryVAPI returns: "Unknown tool: undefined"```
  • ✅ Same webhook works when tested directly (returns correct data)
  • ✅ Tool exists and is properly configured
  • ✅ Other 3 tools on same assistant work fine## QuestionWhy does VAPI return "Unknown tool: undefined" instead of calling the webhook? Is theresomething special needed for async tools on BYO numbers?Has anyone else experienced this with async tools?
