Tool call and call_any bugfixes - #5182
Merged

Conversation
Previously `reflect.call_any` compared an argument at its base type, so the string "manual" did not fit a parameter typed `"auto" | "manual"` and `Kind.GARAGE` did not fit a parameter typed `Kind.GARAGE`, even though `value is ...` was true for both. `call_any` and `is` now ask one function (`value_is_member`), which returns `None` for a value with no BAML type so each caller picks its own direction: `is` says false, `call_any` stays fail-open as before. A variant value also now reports its own variant type as its most precise type, the same way an int reports its literal. The literal case and its test are from #5130. The variant case is new.
A provider's prompt cache covers the tool definitions, so the same declaration must render the same bytes. The corpus now asserts that every provider client (OpenAI Responses and Chat, Anthropic, Gemini, Vertex, Bedrock) lists the tools in declaration order, that a toolbox built at run time keeps the order of its list, and that a tool schema lists the parameters in the handler's order.

…an error A turn is appended to the journal before it is judged. When the judgment threw (ParseFailed, FinishReasonError, Refused, or any other error out of a turn), run propagated the error and the listener never got the AssistantMessage, LLMCall and Usage events of that turn, nor the events of the schema attempts before it. run now keeps one delivery count for the journal and delivers what the listener has not read from one catch_all around the step loop, then rethrows. The tool path no longer has its own emit-and-rethrow, so each event is delivered one time on every exit. A panic (cancellation included) does not pass through the error channel and does not run the listener. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]> (cherry picked from commit 4934c2d)
The test from #5130 sorted names by where they first appear in the request, with a missing name sorting first. Every expectation puts the first declared tool first, so a request that dropped it still passed. A missing name is now reported instead of ordered. Also pins the orders the fixture set up but never asserted: class fields, enum variants and the `required` list. A nullable parameter with no default is in `required`, since every call still passes it.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.Substring matching in
tool_order_seencan give false orderings.
text.index_offinds the first occurrence of"name"as a quoted string anywhere in the body. This is a concern for the enum and field checks at Lines 183 and 155, where short names can also appear as values or descriptions. Examples are"low"and"high"in a description, or"Alpha"in a tool name. The tool namestool_order_alphaandtool_order_zuluare not affected, because quoting makes the match exact.In the current fixtures the names are probably unique enough. If a provider body repeats a name earlier, such as
"apple"in a description, the test reports a wrong order. The test then gives a false pass or a false failure.This is a robustness concern for the fixture, not a confirmed failure. Consider a parsed-JSON assertion for the schema checks (like the one at Line 167) instead of text search.

Previously `Tool.call` passed the model's arguments to `call_any` as they arrived. Those are parsed JSON, so a class was a map, an enum a string and a list a `json[]`, and `call_any` rejected all of them. A reflected tool only worked when every parameter was a scalar. `Tool.call` now reads the parameters that were sent JSON as the fields of one runtime class and aligns the JSON to it, the same way any other model output is aligned, so `@alias` and `@skip` follow the names the tool schema shows. An argument that is already a value of its parameter type is passed through untouched, which is what BAML code calling a tool does. Nothing is written out to JSON and read back. This adds `baml.sap.coerce<T>(value: json)`: schema-aligned parsing without its text stage, for a value that is already parsed. Unlike `parse<T>` it throws for a type the parser cannot model instead of panicking, since the type is often data here (`unreflect`). Tool arguments are therefore as lenient as any other model output (`2.7` for an `int` is `3`). The schema is still built per parameter as in #5129: building it from the same class needs `baml.json.schema` to stop keying `$defs` by display name first.

Second of three PRs taking sections of #5130, after #5178. This one takes the standard library fixes. Two of the commits are cherrypicked from it, and the rest are written fresh.
Reflected tools can take structured arguments
Previously
Tool.callpassed the model's arguments toreflect.call_anyas they arrived. Those are parsed JSON, so a class was a map, an enum was a string and a list was ajson[], andcall_anyrejected all of them. A reflected tool only worked when every parameter was a scalar.Tool.callnow reads the parameters that were sent JSON as the fields of one runtime class and aligns the JSON to it, the same way any other model output is aligned.@aliasand@skiptherefore follow the names the tool schema shows. An argument that is already a value of its parameter type is passed through untouched, which is what BAML code calling a tool does.This adds
baml.sap.coerce<T>(value: json): schema-aligned parsing without its text stage, for a value that is already parsed. Unlikeparse<T>it throws for a type the parser cannot model instead of panicking, since the type is often data here:#5130 wrote each argument out to JSON text and parsed it again with
baml.sap.parse_type, behind a newbaml.sap.can_parse. The arguments are already parsed, so nothing is written out here, andunreflectplus acoercethat throws replaces both functions. It also ran every argument through the text round trip, including one that was already typed (anintin afloatslot became text and back).Tool arguments are as lenient as any other model output (
2.7for anintis3). The tool schema is still built per parameter as in #5129.call_anyuses the same membership check asisPreviously

A variant value also reports its own variant type as its most precise type, the same way an int reports its literal.The literal case and its test are from #5130. The variant case is new.
Agent.rungiveson_eventthe events of a run that ends with an errorThis is the commit from #5130, unchanged. A turn is appended to the journal before it is judged, so when the judgment threw (
ParseFailed,FinishReasonError,Refused), the listener never got that turn's events.runnow delivers what the listener has not read before it rethrows.Known gap: a panic (cancellation included) does not pass through the error channel, so the listener still misses the tail of a run that ends that way.

A provider's prompt cache covers the tool definitions, so the same declaration must render the same bytes. The test from #5130 asserts that every provider client lists tools in declaration order and that a tool schema lists parameters in the handler's order.
