I am exploring Azure agents and I couldn't find Function calling tools in the actions section. I could see only code interpreter.

I have tried deploying GPT3.5 Turbo, GPT-4, GPT 4o as per this doc. But across all these models, I couldn't find function calling under actions.Need your help in understanding what could be the possible issue.The Hub is in eastus region.

    Hi Arun Mohan Raj Balasekar

    Greetings & Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A forum! Thank you for sharing your query.

    I understand that your experiencing issues with the visibility of function calling tools in the Azure Agents playground. Here are a few points to consider that might help you troubleshoot the problem:

    • Ensure that you are using models that support function calling. According to the documentation, the latest versions of gpt-35-turbo and gpt-4 are designed to work with functions. If you are using older versions or models that do not support this feature, it may not appear.
    • Since you mentioned that your Hub is in the East US region, make sure that function calling is supported in that region for the models you are using. Sometimes, features may be rolled out in phases across different regions.
    • Verify that your workspace has the necessary features enabled to prototype agents using the AI Playground. This includes ensuring that the Unity Catalog, serverless compute, and the Mosaic AI Agent Framework are all enabled.
    • Keep in mind that function calling may still be in public preview, and there could be limitations or bugs affecting its availability in the playground.
    • kindly refer these documents https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/databricks/generative-ai/agent-framework/ai-playground-agent
