Tool def with a plain object JSON schema causes api error

where is this stated in the documentation?

Besides a year of documentation and forum examples, you can just observe how the properties of a function are placed into AI context. I have a write-up here where you can see the translation of JSON keys into AI’s language specification of how to send to functions.

Function Calling parameter types

However, in general, one must write their own function, with JSON data types. string number boolean null/empty object array Lets look at a demonstration of them all, how you would specify them as a “functions” API parameter; how the specification is rewritten into AI language by the endpoint; how the AI calls the function as it is specified. Function specification sent to API functions = [ { "name": "data_demonstration", "description": "This is the main function description", "…

Understanding how the function specification is actually employed and understood by the AI will help you along, in making schemas that can be even accepted by the OpenAI API.

Python openai library sends JSON, and the API accepts JSON, which is translated from your streamable python object.
