function tool schema

[mohammad-passage]

What's the rational with relying on doc string for function schemas as opposed to a more explicit and clear definition like the json object openai is using: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/function-calling?api-mode=chat&example=get-weather

In my experience the latter never gets it wrong but the former does. Same model and same settings

We support JSON Schema as well, in that case instead of providing a python function, you extend from BaseTool and provide the JSON Schama in your class.
