- If you explicitly pass `None`, then any tool call errors will be re-raised for you to handle. This could be a `ModelBehaviorError` if the model produced invalid JSON, or a `UserError` if your code crashed, etc. | ||

If you are manually creating a `FunctionTool` object, then you must handle errors inside the `on_invoke_tool` function. | ||

## Example: Custom Error Handling in Function Tools | ||

```python | ||
iimport asyncio | ||

"""A custom function to provide a user-friendly error message.""" | ||
print(f"A tool call failed with the following error: {error}") | ||
return "An internal server error occurred. Please try again later." | ||
