+## Forcing Tool Use
+
+During the tool calling step, the model may decide to either:
+- make tool call(s)
+- or, respond to a user message directly.
+
+You can force the model to make tool call(s), i.e. to not respond directly, by setting the `force_single_step` parameter to `True`. 
+
+This is equivalent to setting the `tool_choice` as `REQUIRED` in the v2 API. 
+
+While if `force_single_step=True` and `tool_results` are passed, this is equivalent to specifying `tool_choice` as `NONE`.

 ## Single-Step Tool Use and Chat History
 
 Single-step tool use functions as part of a two-part conversational process. Here’s how that works:

+## Forcing Tool Use
+
+During the tool calling step, the model may decide to either:
+- make tool call(s)
+- or, respond to a user message directly.
+
+You can force the model to make tool call(s), i.e. to not respond directly, by setting the `tool_choice` parameter to `REQUIRED`.
+
+Alternatively, you can force the model to respond directly, i.e. to not make tool call(s), by setting the `tool_choice` parameter to `NONE`.
+
+By default, if you don’t specify the `tool_choice` parameter, then the model will decide whether it's more appropriate to call tools or to respond directly.
+
+```python PYTHON {5}
+response = co.chat(
+    model="command-r-plus-08-2024",
+    messages=messages,
+    tools=tools,
+    tool_choice="REQUIRED" # optional, to force tool calls
+    # tool_choice="NONE" # optional, to force a direct response
+)
+```
+
+<Note>This parameter is only compatible with the [Command R7B](https://docs.cohere.com/v2/docs/command-r7b) and newer models.</Note>
+
 ## Structured Outputs (Tools)
 
 Setting the `strict_tools` parameter to True will enforce each tool call to follow the specified tool schema. To learn more about this feature, visit the [Structured Outputs documentation](https://docs.cohere.com/v2/docs/structured-outputs).
 
 Note that `strict_tools` is currently an experimental feature.
 
-```python PYTHON {4}
-response = co.chat(model="command-r-plus-08-2024",
-                   messages=messages,
-                   tools=tools,
-                   strict_tools=True)
