[Misc]: Why do we need to explicitly pass tool parsers?

[Datta0]

Anything you want to discuss about vllm.

I was wondering why we need to explicitly pass tool parser as argument while loading models using vllm serve
I understand that the response format can be dependent on the model (like <python_tag> and [TOOL] for llama and mistral)
But I was taking a look at Huggingface TGI and they don't seem to have/need anything like that.
So would it be possible to have a default parser which looks for json-esque tokens when auto tool choice is enabled but no parser is passed?
