Unable to use Tools with Assistants

For whatever reason I cannot use tools with assistants. Whenever I use the OpenAI or Claude Assistant with tool nodes on their own (no tools) they are able to produce responses perfectly fine. Whenever I hook in a tool though it seems to go haywire and I usually get this error: "There was some error: Error: No key was selected for this trigger. Please select one in the trigger's setup/config tab." I have both the Supabase and Anthropic keys configured in my flow and I have tried the RPC function as well as the assistant node alone and they work as intended, but as a tool it does not seem to work at all and throws that error. I've tried manually setting the keys in the node logic and then start running into other errors. So not sure what to do here

Update: Seems to work when testing the full live flow. I also set the Supabase API url as an input at the beginning of the flow

Setting the Supabase API URL as an input at the start of your BuildShip workflow is a best practice for flexibility, allowing you to switch projects, pass URLs dynamically, and centralize configuration. This approach is well-supported by BuildShip’s visual workflow builder, which lets you configure Supabase nodes (like “Update Supabase Row”) with dynamic values for API URL and secret key, directly from your workflow inputs or external triggers. BuildShip’s integration with Supabase is designed for no-code/low-code automation, enabling robust backend logic, real-time webhooks, and seamless connection to Supabase’s database, auth, and storage services—all without writing code. For advanced use cases, you can further optimize by exploring BuildShip’s templates for full-text, semantic, and hybrid search with Supabase, which streamline complex database operations and enhance search capabilities directly within your workflows. If you have specific needs—such as improving search performance, scaling authentication flows, or integrating with other tools—BuildShip’s extensible node system and documentation provide clear pathways for customization and optimization. 🔗 References: 1. https://buildship.com/blog/supabase-with-no-code 2. https://buildship.com/integrations/apps/buildship-database-and-supabase 3. https://buildship.com/integrations/apps/supabase-and-buildship-database 4. https://buildship.com/blog/supabase-semantic-full-text-and-hybrid-search 5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhc8732Dpq4 6. https://community.weweb.io/t/recommendation-for-business-logic-using-supabase/8320 7. https://buildship.com/integrations/supabase
