[None][fix] Tool parsers: report the calls a stream's last increment brings - #21975
A streaming tool parser reports one step of one call per increment (a call's name, then its arguments) and keeps the rest of its buffer for the next increment. When the last increment of a stream brings whole calls, no increment follows. BaseToolParser.finish(), which the serving layer calls once when generation ends, did nothing, so the arguments of such a call, and every call after it, were never reported.
Who sees it. Chat Completions streams deliver what the parser streams plus finish(), and so do Anthropic Messages streams, which are built on them. The client gets a call with empty arguments, or no call at all. The Responses route re-parses the whole text at the end for these parsers, so it is not affected.
When. Whenever the last increment of a reply carries complete calls: with stream_interval above 1 (242 of the 260 configurations under examples/configs set 10, 20 or 100), with speculative decoding, or with a short call at the end of a reply.
Evidence. Found by reading the streaming parsers. It was shown with each format's own output arriving in one increment, but not seen in recorded traffic:
Qwen3 loses the arguments and every later call;
DeepSeek V3 and V3.1 lose the arguments;
Gemma 4 loses every call after the first.
The fix.finish() now feeds empty increments until one changes nothing (neither the buffer nor the call state), with a bound on the number of passes. A stream then delivers what more increments would have delivered, so the result no longer depends on how the text was split. Parsers that override finish() keep their own version: the DSML parsers (DeepSeek V3.2/V4/V4.1), GLM, Kimi K2 and K3, and Qwen3-Coder.
This replaces #21490, #21493 and #21506, which fixed the same loss inside each parser.
DeepSeek V3 and V3.1 also read the wrong call when two calls arrive in one increment: the greedy groups of their streaming regexes run from the first call's begin token to a later call's separator, fence or end. On main that already gave the first call the wrong name or the second call's arguments, or dropped the second call; with the drain, V3 would deliver the second call twice. The groups are now lazy, so a match stays within the first call and later calls are matched once it is removed.
MiniMax M2 read a reply with one tool-call block per call wrongly: its streaming pass counted invocations across every block but kept only the text after the first closing tag and reset its count, so the next pass read the later blocks again. On main that already happened whenever another increment followed; with the drain, the second call would also be reported twice when the whole reply arrives in one increment. Each pass now reads only the first block and leaves the rest for the next pass or finish().
If finish() runs all its passes, the parser never converged; it then logs a warning naming the parser class, once per class.
One other defect those PRs touched is left out, because it was not seen in recorded traffic: Gemma 4 streams wrong argument deltas when a call spans increments.
Test Coverage
New and changed tests in tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_tool_parsers.py:
TestBaseToolParser:
finish() reports a whole call the last increment brought, arguments included, and reports nothing more when called again;
a buffer that cannot progress (part of the start token) is left as it is;
these replace the old test that finish() is a no-op.
test_finish_reports_the_calls_of_a_reply_in_one_increment, in BaseToolParserTestClass, so it runs for every parser test class. A reply with one call, in one increment, gives the calls detect_and_parse reads. On main it fails for Qwen3, DeepSeek V3 and DeepSeek V3.1.
test_finish_reports_every_call_of_a_reply_in_one_increment: several calls in one increment, for Qwen3 and Gemma 4. On main it fails for both.
test_minimax_streaming_reports_each_call_of_a_reply_in_one_increment: MiniMax M2 and M3 with one call, two calls in one block, and one block per call, all in one increment; the streamed calls must equal what detect_and_parse reads. The M2 one-block-per-call case fails without the M2 change.
test_finish_warns_when_the_parser_never_converges: a stub parser that changes its state on every pass makes finish() stop after _MAX_FINISH_PASSES passes and log one warning naming the class; test_finish_keeps_a_buffer_that_cannot_progress also checks that a parser that converges logs nothing.
The streamed-call assembler of these tests fails on a second non-empty name for a tool index, so a duplicated name cannot pass.
test_deepseek_streaming_reports_each_call_of_the_last_increment: DeepSeek V3 and V3.1 with the last increment bringing the whole reply, both calls, or the second call from its separator on; the streamed calls must equal what detect_and_parse reads. All six cases fail without the regex change.
Local CPU runs:
test_tool_parsers.py: 1199 passed, 0 failed.
The Responses streaming tests, the Anthropic adapter and route tests and the Harmony tests give the same results with and without this change.

BaseToolParser.finish() now feeds empty increments until the streaming state stops changing or reaches 1,024 passes. It returns the text and calls produced during those passes. If the parser does not converge, it warns once per parser class. Parsers that override finish() keep their existing behavior.
The DeepSeek V3 and V3.1 streaming regexes now use lazy captures to keep matches within the first call in the buffer. MiniMax M2 now processes one tool-call block at a time and leaves trailing content for the next pass. Current-head test results: not available.
QA Engineer Review
tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_tool_parsers.py adds tests for stalled and non-converging finalization, final-increment calls, and streamed-versus-whole-text parity. Coverage includes Qwen3, Gemma4, DeepSeek V3/V3.1, and MiniMax M2/M3, with multiple calls and call-boundary splits. The test file is listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml; no manual-QA list entry was found. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the final-increment and multi-call cases covered by these tests. Current-head test results: not available.

…brings
A streaming tool parser reports one step of one call per increment (the
name, then the arguments) and keeps the rest of its buffer for the next
increment. When the last increment of a stream brings whole calls, no
increment follows, and BaseToolParser.finish(), which the serving layer
calls once when generation ends, did nothing: the arguments of such a call,
and any call after it, were never reported. Chat Completions, and Anthropic
Messages through it, delivered those calls without arguments or not at
all. The Responses route re-parses the whole text at the end for these
parsers, so it was not affected.
finish() now feeds empty increments until one changes nothing, so a stream
delivers what more increments would have. Parsers that override finish()
keep their own (DSML, GLM, Kimi K2/K3, Qwen3-Coder).
Shown with each format's own output arriving in one increment, as with
stream_interval > 1 or speculative decoding: Qwen3 lost the arguments and
the later calls, DeepSeek V3 and V3.1 the arguments, Gemma 4 every call
after the first.

Suggested labels: api-compatible
Merge Risk: Minimal · up to 2543f
The change makes streamed tool-call finalization report calls that were still buffered when generation ended. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains in the reviewed changes.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 2543f
The change makes previously omitted actions visible when a response ends. Existing restrictions remain in place, and no new execution authority was identified. Some malformed-output and interrupted-stream behavior remains incompletely verified.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The demonstrated exposure is additional model-derived tool-call data in an affected request's response. Consequences can extend to tools an external client chooses to execute, but that client's privileges, authorization policy, and execution behavior are outside the inspected evidence.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
inferred — The inspected drain-to-response path preserves the existing boundary between model-derived call suggestions and external tool execution; it serializes calls rather than executing them. Responses retains final JSON validation, whereas Chat forwards streaming argument fragments. The latter difference predates this PR and is not a newly removed control.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The pass limit contains a non-converging drain but returns accumulated output after warning, rather than producing a common failure result. MiniMax's preexisting exception fallback also returns buffered text without explicitly consuming it. The new drain revisits that fallback, so exceptional output integrity is not established by normal-path convergence tests.
observed — Existing disconnect handling aborts unfinished generation, and Responses iterator cleanup cancels its reader and closes the source. These inspected paths support request-local containment, but do not establish exhaustive cancellation and recovery behavior across every execution mode.

…of the buffer
The streaming regexes of the DeepSeek V3 and V3.1 tool parsers had greedy
groups. When one increment brought more than one call, the match ran from
the first call's begin token to a later call's separator, fence or end, so
the first call was reported with a later call's name or arguments (V3), or
with a name spanning both calls (V3.1), and a later call could be consumed
with it. With finish() draining the buffer, V3 delivered the second call
twice, under both indices.
Lazy groups keep the match within the first call; a later call is matched
once the first one is reported and removed from the buffer. Streams that
bring one token at a time are unchanged.
Tests: two calls whose last increment brings the whole reply, both calls,
or the second call from its separator on; the streamed calls must equal
what detect_and_parse reads from the same text.

BaseToolParser.finish() feeds empty increments until one leaves the
streaming state unchanged, bounded by _MAX_FINISH_PASSES. Reaching the
bound means the parser kept changing its state without progress, which
is a parser bug, so finish() now logs a warning that names the parser
class instead of returning silently. The warning is logged once per
parser class so a broken parser does not log on every request.

…aming pass
A streaming pass counted the invocations of every block after the first
<minimax:tool_call>, but then kept only the text after the first closing
tag and reset its invocation count. The next pass read the following
blocks again and reported their calls a second time under new tool
indices. finish() runs such a pass whenever the last increment holds
more than one block, so a reply with a block per call streamed its later
calls twice.
A pass now reads only the block opened first; what follows its closing
tag stays in the buffer for the next pass or for finish().
Add one-increment cases for MiniMax M2 and M3: one call, two calls in a
block, and a block per call must stream each call once, matching
detect_and_parse.

…index
_streamed_calls assembles the calls a client builds from streamed
deltas. It kept the last name per tool index, so a parser that sent a
name twice for one call passed even though a client that appends name
deltas would receive a duplicated function name. It now asserts that
each tool index carries exactly one non-empty name.
