When does this happen?
IF When calling the OpenAI chat completion API with a tools parameter, if each tool object does not include a 'type' field set to 'function', the API returns a 400 BadRequestError with message 'Missing required parameter: 'tools[0].type''.
How others solved it
THEN For every tool object in the tools list, include the field 'type' with value 'function' and a 'function' field containing the function definition (name, description, parameters). This matches the required API schema for function calling.
tools = [
{
'type': 'function',
'function': {
'name': 'get_weather',
'parameters': {'type': 'object', 'properties': {'location': {'type': 'string'}}}
}
}
