feat(server): turn LiteLLM tags into request labels by SantiagoDePolonia · Pull Request #1152 · ENTERPILOT/GoModel

SantiagoDePolonia · 2026-10-08T04:39:05Z

Clients written for LiteLLM keep their tags with no configuration: they become GoModel request labels, so usage, the request log, and label budgets split by them.

Read from the x-litellm-tags header, a top-level tags body field, and metadata.tags when it is a list, on /v1/chat/completions, /v1/responses, /v1/messages, and /v1/embeddings.
Removed before the request goes upstream, because providers reject them: OpenAI has no tags parameter and its metadata values must be strings. Today chat forwards them as-is, and /v1/responses returns 400 on a list metadata.tags. A string metadata.tags is valid OpenAI metadata and is left alone; other metadata keys pass through. The header is stripped from passthrough forwarding.
Runs after auth (only authenticated bodies are read) and before request rewriters, reusing their body helpers: the audit entry keeps the original client body, and handlers, rewriters, and routing see the cleaned one.

Verified against a recording upstream: none of the tag fields reach it, /v1/responses with metadata.tags succeeds, and GET /admin/usage/labels shows the labels.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features
- LiteLLM tags provided in request headers or supported request bodies are applied as labels to model interactions. Extracted tag fields are removed before requests are forwarded, while other metadata is preserved.
- When tags are extracted from a request body, audit logs retain the original body.
Documentation
- Updated labeling and migration guides to describe supported tag inputs and how they are handled.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server now converts LiteLLM tags from supported request headers and JSON body fields into request labels. It removes extracted body fields before provider forwarding, preserves the original body for audit logging when rewritten, and adds the middleware to the server request pipeline. Documentation describes the accepted inputs.

Changes

LiteLLM Tag Labelling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Body tag extraction and normalization `internal/server/litellm_tags.go`, `internal/server/litellm_tags_test.go`	Helpers extract and normalize supported body tag values, remove extracted fields, and preserve string-valued `metadata.tags`. Tests cover extraction and body preservation.
Request middleware and integration `internal/server/litellm_tags.go`, `internal/server/http.go`, `internal/server/litellm_tags_test.go`, `docs/features/labelling.mdx`, `docs/guides/migrate-from-litellm.mdx`	The middleware processes supported requests, merges tags into request labels, and handles rewritten bodies and tag headers. The server registers the middleware. Integration tests and documentation cover the accepted inputs and forwarding behavior.

_{I’m a rabbit; tags now hop,
From headers, bodies, to labels they pop.
The provider sees a tidier stream,
While audit logs keep the client’s theme.
I nibble docs beside the code,
Then bounce along the request road.}

Review comments at @docs/guides/migrate-from-litellm.mdx:
- Line 191: Update the migration table row for `metadata.tags` to limit the
labels claim to list-valued tags, and clarify that string-valued `metadata.tags`
remains metadata rather than becoming labels. Keep the distinction concise and
user-focused.

Review comments at @internal/server/litellm_tags.go:
- Line 128: Update the body-list handling in the tag parsing function so each
`item.Str` is trimmed and appended as a single label without comma splitting.
Preserve comma splitting for header values and top-level string values.

Confidence Score: 5/5

[Medium risk] Adds LiteLLM tag parsing to the request pipeline.

The PR appears safe to merge; both previous findings are fixed and no new blocking issue was found.

What we checked:

String metadata stays intact: takeBodyTags checks the value kept in the decoded map. It removes metadata.tags only when that value is a list.
