Identifier for a Tool. Formatted as a UUID.
versionintegerRequired
Version number for a Tool. Tools, Configs, Custom Voices, and Prompts are versioned. This versioning system supports iterative development, allowing you to progressively refine tools and revert to previous versions if needed. Version numbers are integer values representing different iterations of the Tool. Each update to the Tool increments its version number.

For more information, see our guide on [using built-in tools](/docs/speech-to-speech-evi/features/tool-use#using-built-in-tools).
parametersstring
Stringified JSON defining the parameters used by this version of the Tool.

Structured as a stringified JSON schema, this format ensures the Tool receives data in the expected format.
