With Redis, if every tool server was unreachable when Open WebUI loaded the tool server list, it cached an empty list and served it forever. The tools stayed missing from chats and the tool list after the servers came back, until a restart, a save in the tool server settings or a manual delete of the cached Redis key. An empty cached list is now only trusted while no OpenAPI tool server is enabled, so the next request that loads tools fetches the servers again, the same way terminal servers already behave. While an enabled server stays unreachable, each such request tries it again and can wait for its timeout.
Fixes#29573
Adding a custom parameter named tools to a model, for example to turn on a provider's native web search, made Open WebUI drop all of its own tools for that model: notes, knowledge, tasks and any tools attached to the model stopped working, and attached files lost their context. Those tools now stay, and the model's custom tools are sent alongside them. API calls that pass their own tools, or an empty list to turn tools off, behave as before.

When Open WebUI authenticates to the OAuth provider with client_secret_basic, either because OAUTH_TOKEN_ENDPOINT_AUTH_METHOD is set to it or because an MCP tool server's OAuth provider only offers that method, sign-in sent the client ID and secret in an HTTP Basic header but the token refresh always put them in the request body. Providers that only accept Basic rejected every refresh with invalid_client, so once the access token expired Open WebUI deleted the user's saved OAuth tokens, and model connections and tool servers set to forward the user's OAuth token stopped working until the user signed in again. The refresh now authenticates the same way sign-in does for client_secret_basic, with the credentials only in the Basic header. Setups using client_secret_post, or leaving the setting unset, still send the credentials in the request body exactly as before.
Fixes#32506
With audit logging on, requests that used an API key in the x-api-key header (what Anthropic SDKs send) worked but never showed up in the audit log, because the audit check only looked for a Bearer token or a session cookie. These requests are now logged with the user the key belongs to, and this also covers a custom header set through CUSTOM_API_KEY_HEADER. Failed attempts with a wrong key in that header now appear in the log without a user, just like a wrong Bearer key. A malformed Authorization header with no other credential is no longer logged, since it can never authenticate.
With tool approval set to ask, a knowledge or file tool the user approved ran and answered, but no sources were saved on the reply or shown below it. The same call without approval listed them as usual. The sources of an approved call are now saved and shown the same way.
Fixes#32436
With websocket support turned off, the browser falls back to HTTP long polling and every poll was written to the audit log as its own entry, flooding it. The same traffic over a websocket was never audited, and AUDIT_EXCLUDED_PATHS only matches API routes, so there was no way to filter it out. Polling requests are now skipped as well, so the audit log looks the same whichever transport is in use.
Fixes#31871
Custom headers on connections and tool servers could pass the chat, message, user and task to downstream services, but not which model the request was for. Chat requests can now use {{MODEL_ID}}, which holds the ID of the model handling the request; for a workspace model that is the workspace model's own ID. In a multi-model chat each model's request carries its own ID, so downstream services can route by model or log usage per model.
Fixes#30006
The audit log only showed which model a request used inside the logged request body, which is cut off at MAX_BODY_LOG_SIZE, so the model went missing whenever a long prompt came before it. Audit entries for chat and completion requests, including the OpenAI, Ollama and Anthropic-compatible endpoints, now carry a model_id field with the model the client asked for, at every AUDIT_LOG_LEVEL and however long the request is. Other requests log it as null.
Fixes#30097
Pipes and tools received None instead of a list of files on messages without attachments, which does not match the docs and breaks plugins that loop over the files. Pipes and tools now get an empty list in that case.
Fixes#32379
Connecting an OAuth 2.1 MCP tool server such as Canva failed with "OAuth client registration is still invalid after re-registration" whenever Cloudflare answered Open WebUI's own server-side check of the provider's sign-in page with a bot challenge. The challenge page repeats the requested address, which contains the redirect URL, so Open WebUI read it as the provider rejecting its registration. Open WebUI now skips its check when it gets a bot challenge, and the browser goes on to the provider's sign-in page as usual. Real provider errors about an unknown client or redirect URL still trigger re-registration as before.
Fixes#32363
Automations scheduled with the Daily, Weekly or Monthly picker ran a few seconds after the chosen time, taking the seconds from whenever the previous run was handled. Now and then that left the next run due again within the same minute, and the automation ran twice. Users whose timezone is behind the server's could also have their first run moved to the next day. These schedules now run at the exact minute chosen, in the user's own timezone.
