Query tool not working
I’m experiencing an issue with the Query Tool in Vapi AI. Previously, I was able to upload a .txt file as a knowledgebase, assign it to an AI assistant, and the assistant could read and use it without problems. However, recently this no longer works—the AI assistant cannot access or read the uploaded knowledgebase.
Could you please advise on what might be causing this and how to resolve it?
For reference:
File type: .txt
Steps I followed: i uploaded the text file to vapi ai, created a query tool, described it, assigned the knowledgebase (text file), i assign it to my assistant, when i request to use it, the tool fails and the ai cannot read and he gives me this notification when he tried to access the tool
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'message"
The json code for example looks like this:
{
"id": "26e3fd95-ae66-4f66-ba3d-8d563f6a0b18",
"createdAt": "2025-12-11T15:49:55.275Z",
"updatedAt": "2025-12-11T15:51:24.875Z",
"type": "query",
"function": {
"name": "query_tool",
"description": "this is a tool used to answer FAQs",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {},
"required": []
}
},
"messages": [
{
"type": "request-start",
"blocking": false
}
],
"orgId": "c4bad15c-08a9-4947-97b2-267c898b3629",
"knowledgeBases": [
{
"name": "new_knowledge_base",
"provider": "google",
"model": "gemini-2.0-flash",
"description": "this is a tool used to answer FAQs",
"fileIds": [
"ba9e64e9-ce8b-4d57-9b3d-8028d86fd02f"
]
}
]
}
The issue that i think is the blocking.
