Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently when a user specifies tools_strict=True
when using the OpenAIChatGenerator
we only update the provided tool_schema
in a basic way. Namely setting strict=True
and additionalProperties=False
at the top-level of the tools schema.
This puts the majority of the effort on providing a strict compliant tool schema on the user when creating their tools. This isn't great if our users are relying on the automatic tool schema generation we provide in create_tool_from_function
and in ComponentTool
.
A prominent example is when ChatMessage
ends up in the tool parameter schema. It's by default not strict compliant so would cause an OpenAI error if tools_strict=True
is passed at run time.
Describe the solution you'd like
Update our tools_strict=True
functionality to do a best effort at making the user-provided schema strict compliant. I don't expect we will be able to cover every scenario but at least being able to cover some common examples of types in our component run methods would be nice if they are ever converted into a tool using ComponentTool
.
I've started work in this PR #9382 but it's become more involved than I thought to support something like ChatMessage
and I don't currently have the time to finish it.
Additional context
A prominent example of this will be when users create Agent tools using ComponentTool
+ Agent
. Agent
has List[ChatMessage]
in its run method so if users also want to use tools_strict=True
they would have to manually create the parameters schema of this tool or they would get an OpenAI error if they tried to use our auto generated schema.
