Hello BurfCoder ,
Thanks for reaching out in the Microsoft Q&A!
Currently, the Azure OpenAI Service does not support the required option for tool_choice. This appears to be a service issue, so I recommend opening a support ticket in the Azure portal for further assistance. The support team can provide you with the most up-to-date information and help resolve the issue as soon as possible. To open a support ticket, please refer to the guide here. Thank you for your patience . Please let me know if you have any other questions.
