When does this happen?
IF When using OpenAI chat completions with a 'tools' parameter, the API returns error 'Missing required parameter: \'tools[0].type\''.
How others solved it
THEN Ensure each element in the 'tools' array is a dictionary with a 'type' key set to 'function' and a 'function' key containing the actual function definition (name, description, parameters). Without 'type: function', the API cannot interpret the tool entry.
tools = [
{
"type": "function",
"function": {
"name": "get_weather",
"description": "Get current temperature for a city",
"parameters": {
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"city": {"type": "string"}
},
"required": ["city"]
}
}
}
