Is built-in tool calling a must? I'm using Llama-3.3-70b on vLLM

Hi, I'm using vLLM without built-in tools support, is it a must have? I mean, the only implemented method is tools calling via the built-in option?

I'm getting this error when I try to build my first agent.. how to I disable the OpenAI style tool calls?

openai.BadRequestError: Error code: 400 - {'object': 'error', 'message': '"auto" tool choice requires --enable-auto-tool-choice and --tool-call-parser to be set', 'type': 'BadRequestError', 'param': None, 'code': 400}
