Tool 'file_search' is not supported with o4-mini

I’m trying to test o3 and o4-mini with the advertised new file_search tool on openai/openai-responses-starter-app available on GitHub with the Responses API, but was surprised to get this response: tool 'file_search' is not supported with o4-mini

Is this expected behavior? I thought the responses API should work best with these models.

Also if I try o3 it tells me to verify company, which is also a bit problematic. If I’m able to verify it will it let me use file_search or will I get the same issue like with o4-mini?

It is “coming sometime soon (ignore that it worked, in favor of the developer, before.)”
