Fixes #1017

When text interleaves tool-call argument deltas, the streaming partial JSON parser could publish truncated input as input-complete. Parse finalized arguments strictly and leave input unset until the accumulated JSON is valid. Added a regression test covering the reported interleaving sequence.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Tool calls now wait until completion before exposing parsed arguments.
    • Incomplete or invalid tool-call data is no longer presented as partially parsed input.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage to verify that interleaved text does not publish incomplete tool-call arguments and that completed calls retain the full input.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The stream processor now uses strict JSON.parse for final tool-call arguments. Invalid or incomplete arguments leave parsed input unset. Regression coverage verifies that interleaved text does not expose partial input before tool-call completion.

Changes

Tool-call parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Strict completion parsing and regression coverage
packages/ai/src/activities/chat/stream/processor.ts, packages/ai/tests/stream-processor.test.ts
Final tool-call parsing uses JSON.parse and clears parsedArguments when JSON is incomplete or invalid. The regression test verifies that partial arguments do not expose parsed input or reach input-complete, while completed arguments expose parsed input and reach input-complete.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to b6283

The change is intended to prevent incomplete tool inputs from being published, but the current head can still mark interleaved tool-call arguments complete without the full input. The regression test also uses an unsupported argument that may fail type checking or lose message association, so merge should be blocked until these issues are corrected.

Assert the pre-completion invariant.

The test only inspects the tool call after TOOL_CALL_END and finalization. Add an assertion immediately after the interleaved TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT event that the call is not input-complete and has no input. Keep the final assertions for the complete raw arguments and parsed object.

Do not mark the tool call complete before the final argument delta.

TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT can complete the active tool call before the remaining TOOL_CALL_ARGS event arrives. This code then rejects the partial JSON and marks the call input-complete. The later argument delta updates the raw string, but TOOL_CALL_END skips finalization because the call is already complete. The final tool call can therefore contain complete arguments with no parsed input. Complete calls only on TOOL_CALL_END or stream termination, or re-run completion when later argument deltas arrive.

Preserve parentMessageId through ev.toolStart.

Line [699] passes a fourth argument, "msg-1", but ev.toolStart accepts only three arguments and does not include parentMessageId in the emitted event. TypeScript can reject this call. If type checking is skipped, the extra argument is ignored and later tool-call deltas can lose their association with msg-1. Extend the helper to accept and emit parentMessageId.

This PR and #1019 target the same bug as #1020 (issue #1017). #1020 now has the strict JSON.parse plus stopping text-event completion, so TOOL_CALL_END still runs and input is the full object. Tests cover the truncated-input guarantee and a full TEXT_START/CONTENT/END block between arg deltas. See #1017 and #1020. This can close when #1020 merges.

Closing as a duplicate of #1020.

#1020 uses a strict JSON.parse for part.input and also stops text events from completing the call. That lets TOOL_CALL_END still run, so input is the full object, not unset.

Issue: #1017

* fix(ai): stop text events from corrupting tool-call input

A TEXT_MESSAGE_CONTENT delta between TOOL_CALL_ARGS deltas
force-completed the call from a lenient partial-JSON parse.
TOOL_CALL_END then no-oped, so input stayed truncated while
arguments held the full JSON.

Text events no longer complete tool calls. completeToolCall
sets input only when JSON.parse of the arguments succeeds.

Fixes #1017

* test(ai): pin #1019 and #1183 interleaved-args cases

Add coverage for END.input after interleaved text, two parallel
calls, and a full TEXT_START/CONTENT/END block between arg deltas.
Retarget toolCallToMessage when TEXT_MESSAGE_START remaps the
assistant message id, so the later ARGS deltas still accumulate.
