### Summary This pull request fixes [issue openai#892](openai#892) by adding a missing docstring to the `fetch_user_age` tool function in `docs/context.md`. ### Problem Many non-OpenAI LLMs (such as Claude, Gemini, Mistral, etc.) are unable to use the `fetch_user_age` function because it lacks a docstring. As a result, they return responses like: > "I cannot determine the user's age because the available tools lack the ability to fetch user-specific information." ### Changes Made - Added a one-line docstring to the `fetch_user_age` function - Improved return statement to match expected tool output ```python @function_tool async def fetch_user_age(wrapper: RunContextWrapper[UserInfo]) -> str: """Fetch the age of the user. Call this function to get user's age information.""" return f"The user {wrapper.context.name} is 47 years old"
