Cause (Documented platform behavior): Sync and async tool containers are separate; auto function calling only executes functions explicitly registered. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - FunctionTool is not supported in AsyncToolSet. Please use AsyncFunctionTool instead and provide sync and/or async function(s). - not found. Provide this function to `enable_auto_function_calls` function call. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-python/1053b0652a66b30d3d51844320b54af22600b50b/sdk/ai/azure-ai-agents/azure/ai/agents/models/_patch.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): ToolSet.validate_tool_type and AsyncToolSet raise these ValueErrors; auto function call lookup error for unregistered functions. Search phrasings: AsyncFunctionTool is not supported in ToolSet; azure ai agents enable_auto_function_calls function not found Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.

Problem details

Observed symptom
Adding a function tool to a toolset raises ValueError, or a run fails because a called function isn't registered.
Context
Product: Azure AI Projects / Agents Python SDK Component: azure.ai.agents.models ToolSet / AsyncToolSet, enable_auto_function_calls Operation: Registering function tools for automatic function calling Affected versions: observed in azure-sdk-for-python main 1053b06 (azure-ai-projects 2.7.0, azure-ai-agents 1.2.0b6) Environment: Python Exception: ValueError Packages: azure-ai-agents source at 1.2.0b6 Trigger: Mixing sync client/ToolSet with async functions (or async client with sync FunctionTool); the model calls a function that wasn't passed to enable_auto_function_calls.
Environment
Unknown · not established
Symptom signature
Literal error text
AsyncFunctionTool is not supported in ToolSet. To use async functions, use AsyncToolSet and agents operations in azure.ai.agents.aio.

Recommended action: Use ToolSet+FunctionTool with azure.ai.agents, or AsyncToolSet+AsyncFunctionTool with azure.ai.agents.aio; pass every tool function to enable_auto_function_calls. Option: Match toolset to client [evidence: official_recommended_action] Steps: 1. from azure.ai.agents.aio import AgentsClient; AsyncToolSet(); AsyncFunctionTool({f}) Expected: Tools register Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
