fix(tool_calling_agent): do not run tool calls from a cut-off reply - #2551
ToolCallAgentGraph._validate_llm_response treated a reply as truncated only when finish_reason == "length".
This PR adds _truncation_reason(), used by _validate_llm_response and _retry_on_truncation. A reply is
treated as truncated when:
finish_reason == "length" (unchanged);
status == "incomplete" (Responses API, for example incomplete_details.reason == "max_output_tokens");
it carries tool calls and has neither finish_reason nor status (the stream ended before its final event),
and it comes from a model that always reports finish_reason: the reply is marked model_provider == "openai",
or the agent's model is ChatOpenAI, AzureChatOpenAI or ChatNVIDIA. ChatNVIDIA leaves response_metadata
empty when its stream ends early, so the agent records its model class once at construction
(_reports_finish_reason, which looks through configurable and bound wrappers).
Truncated replies take the existing path: RuntimeError("LLM output truncated (<reason>) ..."), or truncation_retry when max_retries > 0. The error message now names the reason.
The missing-terminator check is limited to replies with tool calls from those models. Text replies are unchanged,
and other providers are unchanged because they report the end of a reply under other keys (stop_reason, stopReason). Mock LLMs in the existing tests emit tool calls without metadata and are unaffected.
a cut-off tool call raises before the tool runs: chat stream ended early, Responses status: incomplete, and
arguments that do not parse as complete JSON, which needs no provider metadata at all;
those replies go to _retry_on_truncation when retries are configured, and an empty reply from that retry
continues into the empty-response budget (test_empty_reply_after_a_truncation_retry_uses_the_empty_budget);
complete tool calls still pass, with or without finish_reason, including an argument string that contains a raw
newline;
chunks accumulated from runnable.astream that stop inside the arguments raise before the tool call reaches state;
alternating empty and truncated replies stop at the sum of both budgets
(test_alternating_empty_and_truncated_replies_stop).
Removing the argument verdict fails 4 of these cases; removing the empty-budget routing fails 2.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Improved detection of incomplete tool-call responses, including replies with truncated arguments or incomplete completion status.
Incomplete responses now follow configured retry behavior, including when encountered after an empty-response retry. If retries are disabled, the agent reports truncation details and token counts.
Empty replies returned during truncation retries are rejected, while complete tool calls and ordinary responses continue to be accepted.
It looks like this branch is under active development. To avoid overwhelming you with review comments due to an influx of new commits, CodeRabbit has automatically paused this review. You can configure this behavior by changing the reviews.auto_review.auto_pause_after_reviewed_commits setting.
The tool-calling agent detects truncated responses from incomplete streamed tool-call arguments, finish_reason="length", or Responses API status="incomplete". It retries detected truncation when configured or raises an error. Empty-response retries also route truncated replies through truncation handling.
Streamed tool-call arguments that fail JSON parsing are recorded in response metadata. The agent uses this metadata with completion reasons and response status to detect truncation. Tests cover incomplete and complete arguments, parsed arguments, and replies without completion metadata.
Validation and retry handling packages/nvidia_nat_langchain/src/nat/plugins/langchain/agent/tool_calling_agent/agent.py, packages/nvidia_nat_langchain/tests/agent/test_tool_calling.py
Detected truncation uses the configured retry path or raises an error with truncation details. Truncated replies returned by empty-response retries are routed to truncation handling. Retry results are converted before validation. Tests cover truncation errors, retry behavior, and accepted replies.

Merge Risk: Moderate · previous review fc65e
An empty initial reply followed by a cut-off tool-call retry can still execute a partial action. Convert the retry response before checking truncation to close this gap before merging.

Full details: Title check
Explanation
The title "fix(tool_calling_agent): do not run tool calls from a cut-off reply" states the main change: the tool_calling_agent now refuses to execute tool calls from truncated replies. The changeset matches this, including truncation detection from incomplete streamed tool-call JSON and explicit signals such as finish_reason "length" and Responses API status "incomplete". The title is 67 characters, within the roughly 72-character limit. It uses a conventional commit prefix and a descriptive phrase. The phrasing "do not run" is a negative imperative, which is acceptable imperative mood.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The production changes in agent.py and base.py support #2550 by recording incomplete streamed tool-call arguments and routing them through truncation handling. The test changes cover truncation, retries, empty responses, chunk conversion, and provider-boundary behavior. No unrelated production or test change is established by the reviewed diff.

Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 14 functions across 3 files.
Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
Direct issue #2550 remains open, so its coding requirements apply. The implementation covers finish_reason == "length", Responses API status == "incomplete", and streamed tool-call argument strings that fail json.loads; these paths use the existing truncation error or retry path. It does not detect a tool-call stream that ends without finish_reason or [DONE] when the accumulated arguments are valid JSON. _truncation_reason() checks only the recorded invalid-JSON marker, finish_reason, and status. The tests also accept complete tool calls without termination metadata. This leaves the issue's missing-terminator requirement unmet.
Resolution
Add a reliable missing-terminator check for the affected Chat Completions tool-call streams, or provide equivalent provider-specific evidence that the stream ended before its final event. Route that case through _truncation_reason() and the existing error or truncation_retry path. Preserve acceptance of providers and replies for which missing finish_reason is not a truncation signal.

NVIDIA#2551 adds a _ChunkStream helper to the same test file; a distinct name keeps both changes mergeable without a redefinition.
Type hints — _ChunkStream.first and .astream annotated.
Docstring coverage — docstrings added to the two functions the check counted as missing (ToolCallAgentGraph.__init__, astream), so 71.43% should clear the 80% threshold on the next run.
The description is updated to match the current commits.
Thanks for the review, that's a fair point. Inferring truncation from a missing finish_reason ties the fix to providers that always report it, and an OpenAI-compatible server that omits it would get false rejections.
I'll rework both PRs to be provider-agnostic:
The main check becomes the tool-call arguments themselves: before a tool runs, the raw streamed argument string must parse as complete JSON (strict json.loads, no partial parsing). A cut-off call fails this whatever the provider reports; a complete call is unaffected.
Explicit truncation signals are still honored when present (finish_reason "length", Responses status "incomplete"), but a missing or unknown finish_reason no longer counts as truncation, and the provider allowlist goes away.
Does that direction work for you? I'll push it to this PR and #2553 unless you'd prefer something else.

Recheck emptiness after the nested truncation retry.
When the empty-response retry returns a truncated reply, _validate_llm_response runs the truncation handling at lines 319-321. A truncation retry can then return a reply that is not truncated but has no content and no tool calls. No emptiness check follows that call, so _validate_llm_response returns the empty reply. conditional_edge then ends the graph without the empty-response error or another empty retry. This path requires max_empty_response_retries > 0 and truncation retries configured.
Suggested fix
truncation = _truncation_reason(response, self._expects_finish_reason)
if truncation is not None:
response = await self._handle_truncation(response, state, truncation)
+ if (not response.tool_calls and not getattr(response, "invalid_tool_calls", None)+ and not (response.content and str(response.content).strip())):+ raise RuntimeError(f"LLM returned an empty response (no content, no tool calls) "+ f"after truncation retry.

Sorry, the commits pushed after your review were follow-ups that were already in progress. They don't address your concern, and two of them were missing sign-off; I'm fixing the sign-off now.
On the substance, you're right: inferring truncation from a missing finish_reason ties the fix to providers that always report it, and an OpenAI-compatible server that omits it would get false rejections. I'll rework both PRs to be provider-agnostic:
The main check becomes the tool-call arguments themselves: before a tool runs, the raw streamed argument string must parse as complete JSON (strict json.loads, no partial parsing). A cut-off call fails this whatever the provider reports; a complete call is unaffected.
Explicit truncation signals are still honored when present (finish_reason "length", Responses status "incomplete"), but a missing or unknown finish_reason no longer counts as truncation, and the provider allowlist goes away.
Does that direction work for you? I'll push it to this PR and #2553 unless you'd prefer something else.
`_validate_llm_response` treated a reply as truncated only when
`finish_reason == "length"`. Two other ways a reply arrives cut off were
accepted, and the agent ran the tool with partially parsed arguments:
- the Responses API reports truncation as `status="incomplete"`
(for example `incomplete_details.reason="max_output_tokens"`) and never
sets `finish_reason`;
- a stream that ends before its final event has no `finish_reason` at all.
With ChatOpenAI the accumulated metadata is `{"model_provider": "openai"}`;
with ChatNVIDIA (NIM) it is empty.
LangChain builds streamed tool calls with a partial JSON parser, so the
cut arguments look valid. Both cases now go through the existing
truncation path (raise, or `truncation_retry` when configured).
The missing-terminator check applies to replies with tool calls from
models that always report `finish_reason`: replies marked
`model_provider == "openai"`, or any reply when the agent's model is
`ChatOpenAI`, `AzureChatOpenAI` or `ChatNVIDIA`. Text replies, other
providers and mock models without metadata are unchanged.

The retry calls the model again, but only the first reply went through the
truncation check, so a cut-off tool call returned by the retry could still
reach the tool node with partially parsed arguments. Both replies now use
the same check.
Signed-off-by: Simin Yuan <[email protected]>
A retry can come back truncated rather than empty. A Responses reply with
status="incomplete" carries neither text nor tool calls, so the
empty-response loop discarded it as another empty reply, spent its budget
and raised "still returning empty responses" — the truncation path never
saw the reply. Return such a retry so the caller routes it through the
same truncation handling.

Whether a streamed tool call was cut off is a property of the argument string, not of the
provider. LangChain assembles tool calls with a partial-JSON parser, so a call whose arguments
stopped mid-stream still arrives with a usable args dict and an empty invalid_tool_calls; and
providers are free to omit finish_reason, so treating its absence as truncation rejects every
complete reply from an OpenAI-compatible server that does not report it.
The reply is now rejected when a raw streamed argument string is not complete JSON. That fails
for a cut-off call on any provider and never for a complete one. Explicit truncation signals
(finish_reason "length", Responses status "incomplete") are still honored, and the provider
allowlist is gone.
A truncation retry that comes back with no content and no tool calls now raises the same error
as an exhausted empty-response retry, instead of returning a reply with nothing in it.
Signed-off-by: Simin Yuan <[email protected]>
The argument check assumes the streamed value is the raw substring, which is what every streamed
chunk carries. A reply assembled by a provider that hands LangChain an already-parsed value would
reach the string methods with something else, so the check now skips it instead of failing on it.
Signed-off-by: Simin Yuan <[email protected]>
Pushed the rework (fc65e2e). Truncation is now detected from the tool-call arguments themselves: before the streamed reply is converted, each tool call's raw argument string must parse as complete JSON, otherwise it goes through the existing truncation handling (_handle_truncation, so truncation retries still apply). finish_reason "length" and Responses "incomplete" are still honored. The provider allowlist and the missing-finish-reason inference are gone, so a reply without finish_reason and with complete arguments runs as before (test_stream_runs_a_complete_tool_call_whatever_the_finish_reason). #2553 uses the same check. Could you take another look when you have a moment?
The empty-response retry hands back the accumulated stream, and the argument verdict is recorded on
the converted message, so the truncation check on that path saw only finish_reason and status: a
tool call whose arguments were cut off, returned by the retry, was accepted. The retry result is now
converted before it is checked.
A truncation retry that comes back empty inside that same path now raises the error an exhausted
empty-response retry raises, instead of handing an empty reply to the tool node.
The repeated truncation parameters in the tool-calling tests are now one shared list.
Signed-off-by: Simin Yuan <[email protected]>
Two ways to turn a streamed reply into a message left a caller deciding which one to call, and only one of
them recorded why a tool call's arguments could not be trusted. _chunk_to_message now does both: it converts
the accumulated reply and records any tool call whose raw streamed arguments are not complete JSON, so every
streamed reply goes through one conversion. _incomplete_tool_call_args stays a separate predicate that only
answers the question.

…response budget
A truncation retry that came back empty raised straight away, even when max_empty_response_retries was set, so a
reply that reached the empty-response recovery before the truncation handling existed would now fail instead of
being retried. Both dead ends live in one loop in _validate_llm_response: a truncated reply is retried, and if that
retry is empty it continues into the empty-response recovery, and the other way round. Each retry spends its own
budget once and nothing resets it, so alternating empty and truncated replies stop after at most
1 + max_truncation_retries + max_empty_response_retries requests. _retry_on_empty_response now makes a single
attempt and leaves the budget to its caller.

…2553)
Closes#2552
Builds on #2551; please merge that first.
`agent_node` now uses `_truncation_reason()` from the `tool_calling_agent` fix instead of the
`finish_reason == "length"` check, so both agents treat the same replies as truncated: `finish_reason == "length"`,
Responses `status == "incomplete"`, or a reply with tool calls but neither `finish_reason` nor `status` from a model
that always reports `finish_reason` (`model_provider == "openai"`, or `ChatOpenAI` / `AzureChatOpenAI` /
`ChatNVIDIA`, recorded once at construction with `_reports_finish_reason()`). Such replies raise
"LLM output truncated (<reason>)" before parsing. For those clients a missing terminator counts even on a text
reply: ReAct parses the `Action` out of the content itself, so a stream that stopped inside `Action Input` would
otherwise run the tool with the partial input. Clients whose metadata we cannot rely on keep the narrower rule
(only an unterminated tool call is rejected), so the existing `openai` text-reply fallback is unchanged. The helpers are imported, not moved, so the `tool_calling_agent`
code and tests from #2551 are unchanged. `react_agent/agent.py`: +14/−4; `tool_calling_agent/agent.py`:
+131/−22 (shared with #2551, plus the text-reply rule); tests: `test_react.py` +120, `test_tool_calling.py` +323.
### Tests
`packages/nvidia_nat_langchain/tests/agent/test_react.py`:
- a cut-off native tool call raises and does not reach the scratchpad: arguments that do not parse as complete
JSON, and Responses `status: incomplete`;
- complete native tool calls still pass, including a tool call from a mock model with no metadata at all;
- chunks accumulated from `runnable.astream` that stop inside the tool arguments raise before an `AgentAction` is
added;
- a text `Action` whose `Action Input` was cut off raises before an `AgentAction` is added, and a text action
without `finish_reason` is still parsed.
`packages/nvidia_nat_langchain/tests/agent/test_tool_calling.py` (shared with #2551): the budget cases, including
`test_alternating_empty_and_truncated_replies_stop`.
Whole `nvidia_nat_langchain` package on this head (`32ef1e62`), Windows 11, Python 3.13: 903 passed, 14 skipped,
0 failed. `pre-commit` (yapf, ruff) passes.
Against the local fake server (n=3 each, OpenAI chat and Responses, NIM chat): every cut-off case now raises and the
tool is not called; complete replies still run the tool once. The reproduction script: all three cases raise.

…op fix
Take the truncation guard from develop (NVIDIA#2551) as it stands after the maintainer
review, rather than the earlier draft:
- one recovery loop for a truncated reply and an empty reply, sharing a single
empty-response budget that is only ever consumed, so alternating empty and
truncated retries stop instead of retrying each other;
- _retry_on_empty_response now makes one call and leaves the budget to the
caller, and converts the accumulated stream before anything reads the
argument verdict;
- the truncation verdict is checked on the raw streamed argument string, so it
does not depend on the provider reporting a finish reason.
