# POST /v1/tools is deprecated

Bland AI API deprecated POST /v1/tools without giving a shutdown date yet.

The provider has deprecated the POST /v1/tools endpoint without a shutdown date. Calls made to this legacy endpoint will eventually fail. Developers should stop using it for tool integrations.

## What to use instead

Create tools with the v2 Tools API (POST /v2/tools) instead.

- API: Bland AI API (api.bland.ai)
- Kind: Endpoint removal
- Takes effect: no date given yet
- Calls after that day: fail
- Calls it hits: `POST /v1/tools`
- Source: [Announcement](https://docs.bland.ai/llms.txt)
- Verified: October 26, 2026, against Bland AI API's own pages
- Page: https://www.okapi.bot/providers/bland-ai-api/breaking-changes/post-v1-tools-is-deprecated/

## Bland AI API's words

> Use the v2 Tools API (`POST /v2/tools`) for all new tool integrations, never the legacy Custom Tools (`POST /v1/tools`).
