input_validation_error
Invalid value for a required field: ensure dependent fields are specified correctly.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The error you are encountering, "Invalid value for 'tool_choice': 'tool_choice' is only allowed when 'tools' are specified," indicates that the tool_choice parameter is being used without providing the necessary tools configuration. The tool_choice parameter, particularly when set to "required", relies on the presence of defined tools that the model can call. If no tools are specified in the request, the API will return an error because it does not know which functions to call.
