feat: let a model call web_search and web_fetch with no toggle (issue #1718)

[sakibsadmanshajib]

Closes #1718.
Refs #1561, #1620, #1621.

What was wrong

The two web tools existed on paper only, and the issue's diagnosis holds on every point I re-verified.

• Descriptors() (apps/edge-api/internal/webtools/descriptor.go) had no non test caller, so no tool specification was ever serialised into a request.
• HiveCapabilities (apps/edge-api/internal/catalog/client.go) had no reader.
• /v1/tools/web_search and /v1/tools/web_fetch had no caller anywhere in the repository.
• Nothing executed a tool call.
• HIVE_DEFAULT_FUNCTION_CALLING=legacy gates away the entire form_data['tools'] attachment in utils/middleware.py, so under it no specification can reach a model at any price.

Route capability and pricing were confirmed not to be the blocker, as the issue says.

What changed, and which half of the deployment each part lands in

The chat image builds only the frontend from vendor/open-webui and takes the Python backend from the pinned upstream image, so every backend change here goes through owui-patches/ and none through vendor/.

1. Gateway, Go (apps/edge-api). GET /v1/tools serves webtools.Descriptors() verbatim, with a support-matrix entry and a boot-time route guard. This is what gives the front end one source instead of a hardcoded copy that drifts from the handler implementing it. It is unauthenticated on purpose: a compiled-in constant with no tenant data, already transmitted verbatim to whichever upstream provider serves the turn, and it spends nothing.

2. Gateway, Go, security. The two call routes are added to requiresPerUserAuth in owui_unwrap.go. Before this, a shim-key call with no per-user token passed through under the shim account's principal, which would have billed one account for every customer's search and audited none of them. Same reasoning the agent-task arm already carried. GET /v1/tools sits one level up and deliberately does not match that prefix.

3. Chat shim, Python (deploy/docker/owui-patches/hive_web_tools.py plus apply_web_tools_patch.py). The heart of the issue.

• Reads hive_capabilities.tools off the model listing. A model that is not tool capable, or that carries no capability block, is offered nothing and never told it can search.
• Fetches the specifications from GET /v1/tools. If that fetch fails, nothing is advertised. There is no hardcoded fallback, because a stale copy is exactly what the endpoint exists to prevent.
• Registers two callables that POST to the charged endpoints with the shim key on Authorization, the signed-in user's own token on X-Hive-Upstream-Auth and the assistant turn on X-Hive-Tool-Turn.
• Adds no execution loop. Open WebUI already has one: with native function calling on, process_chat_response reads metadata['tools'], calls the entry's callable, appends a function_call_output and re-invokes the model. These entries are in the shape it already reads, so the model's call is executed and its result returns into the turn through upstream's own code rather than through a second loop next to it.
• Drops upstream's 21 builtin specifications, which is what makes part 4 affordable. Four survive that drop, every one of them a builtin that is the only way a live feature reaches the model once native function calling is on, and every one of them already registered per turn by upstream rather than on every request: view_skill (under native, upstream stops inlining a selected or default skill's content and emits a manifest of ids instead, expecting the model to open the body through this tool), execute_code (upstream skips the legacy code interpreter prompt injection whenever function calling is not legacy, deliberately, because this tool is meant to be attached instead), and the knowledge tools on a turn carrying documents upstream stopped injecting.
• Puts a turn that cannot carry the web tools at all back on Open WebUI's legacy path, rather than leaving it on a native path with nothing on it. Three causes, one shape: the kill switch, an alias whose routes report no tool support, and a gateway that would not serve the specifications. This is what keeps the globe toggle and the kill switch from becoming controls wired to nothing; see the two sections below.

The splice's only gate is upstream's own if payload_tools is None:, the branch that skips server side tool resolution when the caller supplied its own tools key and the only place tools_dict exists at all. Nothing else may gate it, and that is asserted by parsing the patched module: assert_selection_gate fails unless the chain of statements enclosing the call is exactly that one if, so a second condition added beside it fails the image build. The earlier version of this check compared indentation, which could not have told those two apart, and the PR body, the test name and the capture log all described a property the code did not have; all four are corrected here. The image build fails loudly (-eq 4 marker count plus three grep -q checks) if any anchor moves. pinned-openai-digest.json already pins utils/middleware.py, and the new self-check asserts the vendored copy still matches that digest, so the patch is verified against the source the container actually runs.

4. Compose. HIVE_DEFAULT_FUNCTION_CALLING now defaults to native. The measurement that pinned it to legacy is answered rather than ignored: Open WebUI's builtin set is 12,089 bytes and 3,144 Groq prompt tokens per request, refused by OpenRouter with 404 and by the Groq free tier with 429. The patch drops that set and sends Hive's two specifications instead, which webtools.MaxDescriptorBytes holds under 1,200 bytes, so the payload is roughly a tenth of what failed then, and it only goes out to an alias whose every enabled route reports tools_supported. Two new knobs, both defaulted so a deployment that sets nothing gets the new behaviour: OWUI_BUILTIN_TOOLS (payload budget, empty) and OWUI_WEB_TOOLS_ENABLED (kill switch, true).

The kill switch restores the state that preceded this work rather than a worse one, which takes both halves. Off, upstream's own tool set is left exactly as upstream resolved it instead of being stripped, and the turn is downgraded to the legacy path, where chat_web_search_handler runs and the globe toggle drives Open WebUI's own search as it always did. Without the second half, switching the tools off under native would have left no web search on any path and a globe wired to nothing, since middleware.py skips its own search handler whenever function calling is not legacy.

Bonus, and it is load bearing for #1621. Upstream extracts citation sources only for tools it recognises by name, and its names are search_web and fetch_url, not ours. Without a fix, a correct Hive search would have returned correct results to the model and produced no source chips at all, which is exactly the reported symptom. The patch normalises the two names onto upstream's in the extractor's first statement, so every existing parsing branch is reused.

What the model now receives

On a tool capable alias, on every turn, with nothing toggled: a tools array of exactly two function specifications, web_search (query, max_results) and web_fetch (url, focus), with the descriptions the Go handler owns, including the untrusted-content rule. When it calls one, the result comes back as a function_call_output in the same turn: a JSON array of title/link/snippet for a search, the page's fenced text for a fetch.

The globe toggle

Kept, and no longer a gate. Advertisement happens on every eligible turn regardless of it. Removing it outright would have meant a frontend change in vendor/open-webui with its own visual proof, and leaving it wired to nothing would be a control claiming a state the system does not have. So it is re-pointed at the only decision left that a user is better placed to make than the model: insisting on live results for this message. On, one line is appended to the system message telling the model so. Off, the model decides alone. Neither state can remove the tools.

On an alias that cannot serve tools at all, that override would buy nothing and the toggle would be inert, which is the same defect one level down. So it is not left that way: those turns are downgraded to the legacy path above the first read of function_calling, and there the globe runs Open WebUI's own search exactly as it does today. The rule the two halves share is that a control the user can see always does something.

Bounds on the exfiltration surface (issue #1640)

Making the model able to call web_fetch autonomously raises this risk, and it is not closed. What bounds it today, all of it already in the Go handler and unchanged here:

• Admit refuses anything not globally routable, plus two metadata hostnames by name, and safedial re-checks the address actually connected to.
• MaxFetchQueryChars (512) caps the path and query of a fetch URL taken together, which are the two carriers an injected page would use. That is the per-call carrier, down from MaxURLChars (2048).
• FetchBudgetPerTurn is 3 and SearchBudgetPerTurn is 2, and TenantCallsPerMinute is 30, which is the limit that actually bounds a tenant, since the turn identifier is client supplied.
• Every returned span is wrapped in a per-call random fence a page cannot close, and the tool description states the content inside is data and never instruction.

What free work costs, stated as an accepted number rather than left to be discovered. A tenant with zero credits still causes real upstream calls before each refusal is priced, bounded by TenantCallsPerMinute at 30 calls per tenant per minute, with the per turn budgets (2 searches, 3 fetches) bounding one turn. Thirty SearXNG queries and page fetches a minute per tenant is the ceiling on unpaid work, and it is accepted as it stands: the hold is taken before upstream, released on failure and charged on a delivered-but-empty result, so nothing beyond that rate is served free.

What is not bounded: a model may still chain a search into a fetch of an attacker-chosen URL, and 3 fetches a turn times 512 bytes of query is roughly 1.5 KB of conversation content per turn, 15 KB a minute per tenant. That is a real channel, narrowed rather than closed. Stated plainly rather than shipped quietly.

Scope against the three linked issues

I read all three and did not use Closes for any of them.

• Composer tools should be model-decided per turn, not manual toggles #1561 and Dynamic tool discovery: remove manual web search / code interpreter toggles, auto-enable by agent decision #1620 both name a code interpreter alongside web search, and an earlier version of this section claimed no code interpreter exists in this repository. That was wrong, and it is worth correcting precisely because the first draft of this change was what would have removed it. It exists: execute_code at vendor/open-webui/backend/open_webui/tools/builtin.py:431, shipping in the pinned image, with ENABLE_CODE_INTERPRETER and USER_PERMISSIONS_FEATURES_CODE_INTERPRETER both defaulting true and compose overriding neither, reachable today through the legacy XML path. This branch now keeps execute_code attached under native rather than dropping it, so the toggle keeps working either way.
  Neither issue closes, and here is what is actually missing. Both ask for the code interpreter to be non-gating, and it is still gated: upstream registers execute_code only on a turn whose features.code_interpreter is set, which is the composer toggle. So Composer tools should be model-decided per turn, not manual toggles #1561's criterion 2 (the same holds for a computation, with no toggle touched) is unmet, and Dynamic tool discovery: remove manual web search / code interpreter toggles, auto-enable by agent decision #1620's first two boxes are met for web search and not for the code interpreter. Composer tools should be model-decided per turn, not manual toggles #1561 also asks for evidence on two points this branch does not produce: criterion 3, no latency penalty attributable to advertisement, and criterion 5, a test showing default-on tool advertisement does not narrow the eligible route set over the current pool. Refs, not Closes, on both.
• Web search returns no sources / stale answers when toggle off by default #1621 describes stale answers and missing sources with the toggle off. Its cause is structural and is removed here: under native, chat_web_search_handler (Open WebUI's Python SearXNG path) is not reached at all, since every one of its call sites is gated on function_calling == 'legacy', and the model now searches on its own through the gateway. The citation normalisation above is what makes the "no sources" half true rather than assumed. I am leaving it open and marked Refs until the live capture below confirms sources render on the deployed box; it should be closed after that, not before.

Tests

scripts/test_owui_web_tools.py, wired into make test-scripts, which is a required check. It deliberately refuses to settle for asserting that a descriptor list serialises, because that was already true on main where nothing consumed it. Both halves are executed:

• Advertisement: a real loopback stand-in for edge-api serves GET /v1/tools, select_tools runs against it, and form_data['tools'] is built with the exact comprehension read out of the patched middleware source, so a reimplementation cannot agree with a broken original. Asserts both specifications, with their arguments.
• Execution: the statements upstream's tool loop runs, again read out of the patched source, drive the real callable into a real POST. Asserts the path, the body, the shim key, the user token and the turn header, then asserts the string that returns into the turn.
• Citations: upstream's real get_citation_source_from_tool_result is extracted from the patched source and executed, and must return sources carrying the result URLs.
• Refusals: a 402 insufficient_credit reaches the model as its own reason with no internal address in it; a call with no resolvable user token or no turn identifier is never sent at all.
• Negative cases: a non tool capable model, a model with no capability block, an unreachable gateway and the kill switch all advertise nothing.

New cases from the security review, each mutation checked by reverting its fix and confirming the suite goes red: a selected skill can still be opened (view_skill survives the builtin drop) and the code interpreter toggle still attaches execute_code, with a companion check that upstream still gates both per turn so keeping them cannot quietly cost every request a specification; the kill switch leaves upstream's tools alone and downgrades the turn, rather than producing a turn with no tools on any path; a turn that cannot carry the web tools runs legacy, for all three causes; the legacy downgrade lands above the first read of function_calling and survives every later rebinding of metadata; a fetch result carries nothing page controlled outside the gateway's fence, with the stand-in page's title and final URL both written as injection attempts; and the splice's gate assertion is itself proved by wrapping the call in a second condition and requiring the assertion to fire.

Both halves were mutation checked: removing the tool registration and removing the citation normalisation each turn the suite red.

Also apps/edge-api/internal/webtools/descriptor_endpoint_test.go (the route, its verb handling, its byte budget, and that it does not shadow the two call routes) and two new cases in owui_unwrap_header_test.go (a shim-key web tool call with no user token is refused; the descriptor list still passes through).

scripts/test_owui_task_upstream_auth.py pins requiresPerUserAuth verbatim, so its literal is updated with a note that the arms may grow and that what must not change is /v1/chat/completions staying unconditional.

Test plan

• go test ./apps/edge-api/... ./apps/control-plane/internal/catalog/... -count=1 -short
• go vet ./apps/edge-api/...
• make test-scripts (re-run after the review fixes)
• Both patch scripts applied in Dockerfile order to a copy of the vendored middleware, result parses
• docker compose config parses
• Visual proof against the deployed box: a chat asking for current information with no toggle touched, the model searching and answering with a citation

Authentication test evidence

Requested in review, because this change touches authentication and the charged
web-tool routes. Commands and their results, not just "tests passed". All run

The two that carry this feature's own claims are the last two. A shim-key call
to either charged route with no per-user carrier is refused 401, so a customer's
search is never billed to the shim account, and the descriptor list, which
spends nothing and serves a compiled-in constant, passes through.

These two are new in this pull request and pin the exemption added to
authSelectorMiddleware in both directions: the descriptor list is reachable
with no credential, and web_search, web_fetch, a POST and a DELETE to the
list path, a trailing slash, a prefix neighbour and /v1/models all still reach
the JWT path rather than the mux. Before the fix the first one failed with
jwtInvoked=true reachedMux=false status=401; deleting the exemption reproduces
that.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7ba1a

This change enables models to perform paid web searches and page fetches, but an interrupted or retried request may repeat the same work and charge the user again, while some rejected attempts can consume later tool capacity. Merge should wait for explicit owner acceptance or follow-up on these billing and quota behaviors.

Adversarial review, four streams

Run against 93d5261 through HEAD on this branch. Every finding below was either fixed on this branch or answered with a reason; nothing is left as a note for later.

Stream 1: CodeRabbit CLI — RAN, one major finding, fixed

deploy/docker/docker-compose.yml: update the HIVE_OWUI_BUILTIN_TOOLS default to retain query_knowledge_files so document RAG remains available for uploaded knowledge.

Correct in substance, and the sharpest thing found in this whole review. I traced it rather than taking the suggestion, and the picture is narrower than the finding but real.

Two of Open WebUI's retrieval paths inject documents into the request only under legacy and hand the work to builtin knowledge tools under native: a folder's attached files (utils/middleware.py, the folder_id branch, which under native writes metadata['folder_knowledge'] instead of form_data['files']) and a custom model's own info.meta.knowledge. Dropping the whole builtin set would have stranded both, silently, in a deployment whose interface still offers them.

Two paths were not at risk, which is why the finding is narrower than it reads: a file attached to the message, and a Hive project's files, which PR #1707 appends to the same request files list. Both go through chat_completion_files_handler, which upstream calls unconditionally on either path. That is now pinned by a test rather than asserted in a comment, because it is the claim the fix rests on.

Fixed differently from the suggestion, and better: the knowledge tools are kept on the turns that carry such knowledge and dropped on every other turn. A permanent query_knowledge_files default would have put a knowledge specification on every chat request from every user who has no documents at all, which is the payload cost this change exists to control. Commit "fix: keep the knowledge builtins on turns that carry knowledge".

Stream 2: Go review — one finding, fixed

The tool routes were reachable under the shim principal. requiresPerUserAuth did not cover /v1/tools/, so a shim-key call arriving with no per-user token passed through and edge-api resolved the shim account as the principal. Both routes settle real money through sessionbilling (100,000 credits a search, 200,000 a fetch), so this would have billed one account for every customer's searches and audited none of them. It is the same failure the agent-task arm was added to prevent. Fixed in the first commit, with a test on both directions: the two call routes refuse, and GET /v1/tools still passes through, because it sits one level up and does not match the prefix.

Checked and clean: the exact-vs-prefix ServeMux patterns do not shadow each other (test); the support-matrix entry is present so the boot-time route guard passes; rewriteDispatchBody rebuilds the body from a field map, so the tools block survives to the provider; RequireToolCapable narrowing is the identity here, because catalog.ToolCapableAliases reports true only for an alias whose every enabled route is capable.

Stream 3: Security review — model-directed network calls

This executes network calls the model chooses, so it got its own pass.

Exfiltration (#1640): real, narrowed, not closed. Stated in full in the PR body rather than here, including the number: roughly 1.5 KB of conversation content per turn and 15 KB a minute per tenant, through the path and query of a fetch URL. MaxFetchQueryChars (512) is the per-call carrier, FetchBudgetPerTurn is 3, and TenantCallsPerMinute (30) is the bound that actually holds, since the turn identifier is client supplied. Nothing in this change widens any of those.

SSRF: no new surface. The shim dials exactly one address, the configured gateway base, and never a model-supplied one. Every model-supplied URL is admitted by webtools.Admit and re-checked at connect time by the safe dialer, both unchanged.

Prompt injection containment survives the shim. web_fetch parts arrive already wrapped in the gateway's per-call random fence and are passed through byte for byte. A test asserts both markers and the token survive, because stripping or rewrapping them is the one edit that would break the only property the fence has.

Credentials. The shim key and the user token appear in request headers and nowhere else: not in a return value, not in a log line, not in an error. The failure log names the user id and the tool, never the token. Fail closed: if the user's token cannot be resolved, no request is made at all, and a test asserts zero POSTs on that path rather than asserting a message.

No internal detail reaches the model. Every transport failure returns a fixed string; the exception is logged, never rendered. A test asserts the loopback address and the route path are absent from what the model is told, which is the #1562 rule applied to a new surface.

Money path (D-034). Nothing here can serve a call that was not priced. There is no local search fallback and no route to Open WebUI's own SearXNG integration; a refusal comes back as its own class, and a test drives a 402 insufficient_credit end to end and asserts the model is told to add credits rather than told the tool is broken.

Residual, accepted and already documented in Go: the per-turn budget keys on a client-supplied turn identifier, so a caller can reset it. TenantCallsPerMinute is what actually bounds a tenant, and handler.go says so at the constant. This change does not alter either.

Stream 4: Plain adversarial pass — one finding, fixed, plus one robustness fix

The feature would have merged and not deployed. This is the one that mattered. The compose default alone could never have reached the demo box: its untracked .env was seeded from .env.example, which carried OWUI_DEFAULT_FUNCTION_CALLING=legacy, and --env-file keeps winning over a changed compose default forever. Under legacy the entire form_data['tools'] attachment is gated away, so the result would have been a green deploy, a merged feature, and a model that still says it has no tools, with nothing to point at. Fixed by setting it in deploy-demo-box.yml, where shell environment beats --env-file, and pinned by a test.

A string max_results would have failed the whole search. Upstream parses tool arguments with ast.literal_eval, so a model that emits "3" rather than 3 reaches the gateway with a string, fails its JSON decode, and gets back "the tool arguments could not be read", which reads as a broken tool rather than a sloppy argument. Coerced, with the uncoercible case dropped so the gateway applies its own default.

Considered and deliberately not changed:

• Deploy ordering. If the chat image ships before edge-api has GET /v1/tools, the fetch 404s and nothing is advertised. That is the designed degradation, not a gap: no hardcoded fallback exists precisely so a stale copy cannot outlive the handler behind it.
• A user's own function_calling: legacy in advanced params falls to upstream's prompt-based tool handler, which reads the same tools_dict. Degraded, not broken.
• A user-attached or MCP tool named web_search wins on collision (setdefault), with a test. Ours are additive, never a silent replacement.

Verification state

• go test ./apps/edge-api/... ./apps/control-plane/internal/catalog/... green, go vet clean.
• make test-scripts green, which includes the new self-check and is a required CI check.
• Both middleware patches applied in Dockerfile order to a copy of the vendored file; the result parses.
• Both halves of the new self-check mutation checked: removing the tool registration and removing the citation normalisation each turn it red.

Still outstanding before this is mergeable: CI green, and the live visual proof of a toggle-free search with a citation, which is the acceptance criterion the issue was opened for.

Capture against running containers built from this branch

Full log committed at docs/proof/web-tools-1718/capture.log, which is what npm run lint:proof-tokens scans. No credential appears in it.

1. The gateway serves the specifications, with no credential presented. Dockerfile.edge-api.prod built from this branch, GET /v1/tools answers 200 with both descriptors, 1,036 bytes. The process reports Loaded support matrix: 181 endpoints, one more than an image built before this branch, which is the new entry; edge-api refuses to start when a registered route has no matrix entry.

2. The chat image carries the splice. In hive-open-webui:v0.10.2-branded built from this branch: three # hive (#1718) markers, tools_dict = await _hive_select_tools(...) at line 2820 at the handler's own indentation (the property assert_unconditional exists to hold), and the citation normalisation at line 249. The image building at all is part of the evidence: the build asserts the marker count and greps for both statements, so a moved anchor fails the build rather than shipping an image with no web tools.

3. The shipped image, against the running gateway, registers exactly the two. Handed three upstream builtins (get_current_timestamp, search_web, execute_code) standing in for the 21 the real path produces:

tool capable alias, three upstream builtins offered in:
  registered: ['web_fetch', 'web_search']
  bytes on the wire: 1055

alias that is not tool capable:
  registered: []

1,055 bytes is what form_data['tools'] costs on a chat request, built with upstream's own comprehension. The measurement that pinned this deployment to legacy was 12,089 bytes. The second line is the honest-degradation half.

4. The money-attribution guard, live. A charged call presenting the shim key with no per-user token: HTTP 401. Before this branch it would have been served under the shim account's principal and billed to it.

5. A finding this capture produced, fixed in 6eecb69. The descriptor fetch presented the shim key. Against a real edge-api that turned a read of a compiled-in constant into a ten second timeout and advertised nothing, because an hk_ bearer routes the request down the API-key arm where the budget gate resolves the key against the control plane first. Even when it resolves, it coupled "may this model be told the tools exist" to a key resolution and a budget verdict. The header is gone. Found only by running it against the real binary, which is the reason this capture exists rather than a description of one.

The browser capture is not here, and why

Stated plainly rather than papered over, because it is the acceptance criterion the issue was opened for.

The user-visible claim needs a signed-in chat session, and that needs a Supabase data plane validating a browser JWT over TLS.

• The local stack cannot provide one. This checkout's .env points SUPABASE_URL at http://caddy-supabase, an in-network name that exists only under the enterprise overlay, and edge-api refuses a plain http JWKS URL by design. Brought up as configured, control-plane never becomes healthy. That is exactly the harness agent-visual-proof.yml stands up for the Cowork proof, with its own throwaway Supabase and a TLS front holding a local authority certificate.
• The deployed box cannot provide one yet. It does not run this code, and deploy-demo-box.yml triggers only on a push to main with no workflow_dispatch, so there is no pre-merge path to put this branch on it.

So the capture has to be taken against the box in the minutes after the deploy that follows the merge, or a proof job modelled on agent-visual-proof.yml has to be built first. That is an orchestrator call, not mine to make, and I am flagging it rather than merging around it.

The recipe, when it is taken: one message on hive-default, no toggle touched, asking something that requires current information, and the screenshot must show both that the search ran and that the answer carries a source. If it does not carry a source, #1621 stays open on its own merits and this PR's Refs on it is the right marker.

[sakibsadmanshajib]

Independent adversarial review

I did not write this change; findings below come from reading the pushed diff at be0cad3 and the code around it, not from the PR description. CI is green, python3 scripts/test_owui_web_tools.py passes locally against a clean export of the branch, and the security question the brief centres on comes back clean.

What checks out

The auth guard is correct and did not weaken #1712. At head requiresPerUserAuth is /v1/chat/completions, /v1/embeddings, /v1/agent/tasks, the agent subtree, and now /v1/tools/. The merge with 234837ce kept /v1/embeddings, and scripts/test_owui_task_upstream_auth.py was correctly reshaped by that merge from a frozen function body into a per-path presence check, so adding an arm is a fix rather than a red test. The prefix covers both call routes and every sub-path; GET /v1/tools sits one level up and is deliberately outside it. Case variants miss a case-sensitive ServeMux and 404 before any handler; a //v1/... form fails the prefix but is redirected by the mux rather than served; /v1/tools/../... still matches the prefix and is guarded. hasShimAuthorization is exact-match and the carrier is stripped on every branch including the rejection paths, so the shim arm offers no way in. An unauthenticated GET /v1/tools returns a compiled-in constant with no tenant data, which is what the support-matrix entry claims.

No duplicate route registration. Register runs on an inner webToolsMux and registerWebToolRoutes points three outer patterns at it, so the two /v1/tools registrations are on different muxes and there is no boot panic.

Part 2 was already working, and for a better reason than the PR gives. routers/openai.py:598 merges with **model and keeps a nested openai copy, and hive_model_picker.filter_models only filters by id and passes entries through untouched. Issue #1718's own scope note ("this needs hive_model_picker.py to forward the capability, which it does not today") was wrong; the capability already survives for base aliases. Presets are the exception, noted inline.

Citation normalisation covers every site. get_citation_source_from_tool_result is called from exactly one place (middleware.py:4781), gated by one name list; the patch edits both, and the alias map is applied in the extractor's first statement so every downstream branch is reused. link rather than url in _render_search matches what the search_web branch reads.

The builtin drop actually works. utils/tools.py stamps 'type': 'builtin' on every builtin it registers, so the filter is real rather than decorative.

The money path is sound. Hold before the upstream call, released on failure, charged on a delivered-but-empty result, metadata['message_id'] carried as the turn so the per-turn budget binds, and the user's own token on X-Hive-Upstream-Auth with a fail-closed refusal when it cannot be resolved. The free-work ceiling is bounded, not open: a failed search releases the hold after SearXNG has already served the query, and ErrEmbedUnavailable releases it after some embedding spend, but SearchBudgetPerTurn (2), FetchBudgetPerTurn (3) and TenantCallsPerMinute (30) cap it at thirty real upstream calls per tenant per minute at zero credits. Worth stating in the PR rather than leaving to be discovered; it is #1695's design, and this change is what first makes it reachable.

The patch rides in correctly. Everything backend-side goes through owui-patches/ and the Dockerfile, not through vendor/, and the vendored copy the self-check patches is pinned to the shipped image's digest. PR CI never builds the image, which the PR says plainly; the self-check running the real patch() against the pinned source is the right compensation.

What blocks

Both blockers are the same shape, and it is the shape c360271 already fixed once: flipping to native means upstream stops doing something itself and hands the job to a builtin, and this change drops the builtin.

1. Skills. A selected or default skill is delivered only through view_skill under native. Dropped, so the model gets a manifest of skills it cannot open. Three Hive image patches and a compose permission say this is a shipped feature.
2. Code interpreter. Its legacy prompt-injection path is skipped under native in favour of execute_code. Dropped, so the toggle silently stops working. It is enabled by default at every gate and reachable in the composer today. This also contradicts the PR body's stated reason for not closing #1561 and #1620.

test_an_ordinary_turn_carries_no_knowledge_tools proves the payload budget is respected; what is missing is the equivalent per-turn keep for these two, and a test that a turn carrying a skill or the code-interpreter feature still ships its delivery mechanism.

Also worth fixing before merge

Three inline: the "unconditional" splice is actually inside if payload_tools is None: and the assertion cannot see that; the HIVE_WEB_TOOLS_ENABLED=false kill switch does not restore the prior state, it removes web search entirely; the globe toggle becomes an inert control on any alias that is not tool capable. Two smaller ones: the fetched page's title and final URL land outside the untrusted-content fence, and presets get no tools silently.

On the issue references

Closes #1718 is honest on scope: all four items in that issue's Scope section are done (descriptor endpoint, capability-driven attach, executor through upstream's own loop, native default). Refs #1561 #1620 #1621 is the right relationship for the other three.

The one gate left is this repo's own visual-proof rule. docs/proof/web-tools-1718/capture.log is a good artifact-level capture and is candid that the browser capture does not exist, with a real reason. That is an owner call, not a reviewer's, but it is the last thing standing between this and merge once the two blockers are closed.

Verdict: changes requested. Blocking: the skills delivery path and the code interpreter, both stranded by the unconditional builtin drop.

[sakibsadmanshajib]

Second pass: all eight findings verified fixed

Verified against the patched module and the running self-check at 7fac187b0, not against the description. Everything I raised is closed. No blocking code findings remain.

The two blockers

Skills and the code interpreter. SELF_GATED_TOOL_NAMES restores both, and the dict comprehension keeps upstream's own entry object, so the callable and spec are the ones upstream built rather than a reconstruction. "Free on an ordinary turn" checks out at the source: utils/tools.py appends view_skill only when __skill_ids__ is non-empty and execute_code only when features.get('code_interpreter') is set, and the tests assert get_current_timestamp and search_chats are still dropped alongside them.

The new test_the_kept_builtins_are_gated_per_turn_by_upstream does genuinely fail when an upstream gate disappears. I mutated the vendored utils/tools.py against both clauses it names and both go red. (My first attempt at this was off target: I removed the model-capability clause, which the test deliberately does not pin, and it stayed green. Retargeted at the two clauses the test actually names, it fires.)

Mutations, run rather than taken on trust. Dropping view_skill, dropping execute_code, restoring the unfenced header, removing the kill switch's early return, and removing the downgrade splice each turn the suite red, with a message naming the right check.

The other six

The splice gate. Materially stronger. Details inline; four differently-shaped conditional splices all fail it, including the #776 shape itself. One residual hole (an early return inside the permitted branch) noted inline, non-blocking. The four artefacts that previously disagreed now agree: the docstring, test_the_only_gate_on_the_splice_is_upstreams_own, the PR body, and capture.log's explicit CORRECTION paragraph. I checked all four rather than assuming the fix propagated.

The downgrade sits above every read, not just the first. The call is at patched line 2359 and the write at 2360; the eight occurrences of function_calling in the patched module are at 2383, 2397, 2478, 2483, 2491, 2540 and 2810, all after it. The write survives, and the reason is narrower than "metadata is spread": the single rebind at 2613 is {**metadata, ...} and sets no params key, so the same nested dict carries through to form_data['metadata'] = metadata.

The kill switch restores the prior state. Traced through the patched source rather than from the comment: with the turn on legacy, use_builtin_tools at 2540 is false so upstream registers no builtins at all, and chat_web_search_handler at 2478 runs. That is the pre-#1718 behaviour exactly, and the downgrade incidentally restores the legacy image-generation and code-interpreter paths on those turns too.

The fence. Nothing page controlled survives, and the test now asserts the result starts with the fence opener rather than merely that the two fields are absent. Nothing downstream needed either field: upstream's fetch_url citation branch builds source, document and metadata entirely from tool_params.get('url', ''), so citations cannot degrade. The stand-in envelope carrying real injection strings is the right way to write that fixture.

Presets and the inert globe. Closed by the same downgrade, and the fixture now carries base_model_id so it is the real preset shape rather than a hypothetical missing block.

The semaphore, new since my first pass: inline. Non-blocking.

Evidence, spot-checked

scripts/test_owui_web_tools.py green. make test-scripts green (all checks passed, exit 0). 25 CI checks pass, 9 skipping, zero failing and zero pending. git diff origin/main...HEAD -- vendor/ is empty, so nothing rides in through the path that ships nothing.

One correction to the scope note, in the under-claiming direction

The PR body says #1561 "asks for evidence on two points this branch does not produce: criterion 3 ... and criterion 5". Criterion 5 is already met, with the test it asks for. apps/control-plane/internal/routing/tool_advertisement_identity_test.go holds TestAdvertisingToolsNeverNarrowsTheCandidateSet, which asserts SelectRoute returns the byte-identical selection with and without RequireToolCapable, for every alias the model list advertises tools on, over the catalog the migration chain produces. It refuses to pass vacuously (at least one alias compared, and hive-free specifically advertised) and carries TestTheAdvertisementIdentityCheckCanFail as its own mutation guard. It ships on main and passes in this PR's control-plane job. Its header comment even names the criterion: "A6, and the reason slice S3 of the web tools spec needed its own guard."

So the list should be criterion 3 alone. The conclusion is unaffected and correct: #1561 and #1620 still cannot close, because criterion 2 is genuinely unmet, execute_code is registered only when features.code_interpreter is set, which is the composer toggle. Both issues ask for that toggle to be non-gating and it still gates. This matters only because "criterion 5 is unproven" invites the next reader to rebuild a test that already exists.

While there: #1621 is the one that should close shortly. Its own second acceptance box reads "If kept separate from dynamic discovery issue, close as duplicate after that merges", and its first (a query for recent info returns sources) is what this change delivers. Refs is right until the live capture exists; it should not linger past it.

Verdict

Merge, from a code standpoint. Both blockers are closed at the source, the fixes are pinned by tests that fail when reverted, and the two guards that previously overstated what they checked now check what they say. The two items left are follow-ups, not gates: the PR body's criterion-5 sentence, and the semaphore's sizing and saturation behaviour.

The outstanding signed-in chat capture is the lead's gate to manage and is not part of this verdict.

apps/web-console/e2e/phase-19/owui/capture-chat-proof.mjs (1)

264-270: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Make an unreadable request body fail instead of passing the wire assertion.

postDataJSON() throws when the body is not JSON. The catch sets outgoing to null, so features becomes {} and the check at Line 276 cannot fail. The assertion that carries the toggle-off claim then becomes a no-op, and the workflow still posts the caption stating that features.web_search was absent from the outgoing request.

The control flow at Lines 345-350 has the same fallback, which feeds the check at Line 364.

Throw when the body cannot be read, so the run goes red rather than publishing a vacuous assertion.

♻️ Proposed fix

     const chatRequest = await sendPrompt(page);
-    let outgoing = null;
-    try {
-      outgoing = chatRequest.postDataJSON();
-    } catch {
-      outgoing = null;
-    }
-    const features = outgoing?.features ?? {};
+    let outgoing;
+    try {
+      outgoing = chatRequest.postDataJSON();
+    } catch (error) {
+      throw new Error(
+        `the chat completion request body could not be read as JSON, so features.web_search cannot be asserted: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
+      );
+    }
+    const features = outgoing?.features ?? {};
