Motivation and Context
Fixes #4328
When an
AnthropicClientagent makes consecutive tool calls in streaming mode,the Anthropic API rejects the request with HTTP 400:
This was observed when a tool call fails and the agent retries with corrected
arguments — two sequential streaming iterations. The non-streaming path was
unaffected.
Description
_process_stream_eventinAnthropicClientdid not setroleon theChatResponseUpdateemitted formessage_startevents._process_updatein
_types.pyonly starts a newMessagewhenupdate.roleis truthy anddiffers from the last message's role:
With
role=None, this condition was never triggered by a role change. Afteriteration 1 ended with a
role="tool"message (injected by the tool layer),iteration 2's
tool_usecontent was appended to that same message instead ofstarting a new assistant message. Serialisation then mapped
role="tool"→"user"viaROLE_MAP, producing ausermessage containing bothtool_resultandtool_useblocks — which Anthropic rejects.The fix is a one-line change adding
role="assistant"to themessage_startcase, aligning it with the non-streaming path (
_process_message) which alreadyhardcodes
Message(role="assistant", ...)directly:BetaMessage.roleis typed asLiteral["assistant"]in the Anthropic SDK sothis is always correct.
