Summary

When a Bedrock-native invoke request includes a tool-search conversation turn, the assistant's server_tool_use and tool_search_tool_result blocks must be echoed back unchanged on the next turn. Previously, BedrockContentBlock.UnmarshalJSON had no handling for these block types, so both fell through to empty structs and were silently dropped — leaving the model in a state where it had called a tool it never discovered.

Changes

  • Added server_tool_use and tool_search_tool_result cases to BedrockContentBlock.UnmarshalJSON, populating new AnthropicToolSearchUse and AnthropicToolSearchResult carriers (tagged json:"-" since Converse has no wire slot for either)
  • Added a pre-scan in convertSingleBedrockMessageToBifrostMessages that pairs each tool_search_tool_result block to its matching server_tool_use by ID, so the complete tool_search_call item (including discovered tool references) is emitted when the use block is encountered
  • tool_search_tool_result blocks are skipped during the main content loop after being consumed by the pre-scan; server_tool_use blocks are converted into a neutral ResponsesMessageTypeToolSearchCall message that the egress converter can re-emit verbatim
  • Tool references are extracted from both the nested (content.tool_references) and flat (tool_references) spellings to mirror the existing AnthropicContentBlock.DiscoveredToolReferences behaviour
  • Only tool_search_tool_ prefixed server tools are carried through; other Anthropic server tools are left unhandled to avoid silent behaviour changes

How to test

go test ./core/providers/bedrock/... -run TestToBedrockConverseRequest_InvokeToolSearchReplay
go test ./core/providers/bedrock/...

The new TestToBedrockConverseRequest_InvokeToolSearchReplay test constructs a two-turn tool-search conversation on the invoke ingress and asserts that:

  1. The replayed server_tool_use/tool_search_tool_result pair survives as a tool_search_call item with the correct tool references
  2. The subsequent tool_use block calling the discovered tool is still present
  3. The request continues to route through the Anthropic invoke path rather than Converse

Breaking changes

  • Yes
  • No

Closes #7155

Security considerations

No auth, secrets, or PII implications. The fix is scoped to JSON unmarshalling and message conversion for a specific Anthropic server tool type.

Checklist

  • I read docs/contributing/README.md and followed the guidelines
  • I added/updated tests where appropriate
  • I updated documentation where needed
  • I verified builds succeed (Go and UI)
  • I verified the CI pipeline passes locally if applicable

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for Anthropic server-side tool search results when processing Bedrock requests.
    • Preserves discovered tool references and associated tool-search activity when conversations are replayed or converted.
    • Supports both nested and flat tool-reference formats.
    • Unrecognized or invalid tool-search data is safely ignored without interrupting request processing.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Prevented server-side tool searches from being incorrectly represented as client function calls.

Walkthrough

Bedrock now normalizes Anthropic server-side tool-search blocks, stores replay-only tool-search data, pairs results with uses during Responses conversion, and preserves the flow through InvokeModel conversion.

Changes

Anthropic tool-search replay

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool-search data and normalization
core/providers/bedrock/types.go, core/providers/bedrock/invoke.go
BedrockContentBlock stores tool-search use and result data outside the JSON wire format. JSON unmarshalling accepts supported server tool-use blocks and extracts nested or flat tool references.
Replay conversion and validation
core/providers/bedrock/responses.go, core/providers/bedrock/invoke_test.go
Responses conversion pairs tool-search uses with result references and emits completed tool_search_call messages. The regression test verifies replay preservation and InvokeModel routing.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 7907a

Replayed Anthropic tool-search turns lose their original input payload, so the next request no longer echoes the server block unchanged. This can break tool-search replay and should be fixed before merging.

Explanation

Direct issue #123 requires File API support for file upload workflows, including an endpoint such as POST /v1/files. The reviewed changes only preserve Anthropic tool-search blocks in the Bedrock Invoke ingress. They add no File API endpoint, provider file handling, or tests for file upload and use.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes in core/providers/bedrock/invoke.go, responses.go, types.go, and invoke_test.go implement Bedrock replay of Anthropic server_tool_use and tool_search_tool_result blocks. This behavior has no stated connection to the directly linked Files API objective in #123. The related regression test supports that unrelated Bedrock behavior.

Preserve server_tool_use.input for replay.

BedrockAnthropicToolSearchUse stores only the ID and name. A valid replayed block also contains input, such as the {"pattern":"weather"} payload in core/providers/bedrock/invoke_test.go. The ingress discards that payload, and the InvokeModel response converter later emits an empty input object. This changes a block that Anthropic requires clients to echo unchanged.

Carry the raw input through this carrier, the neutral tool-search message, and the InvokeModel serializer. Add an assertion that the replayed output keeps the original input.

Proposed carrier change
 type BedrockAnthropicToolSearchUse struct {
-	ID   string
-	Name string
+	ID    string
+	Name  string
+	Input json.RawMessage
 }

Anthropic requires the client to echo the assistant's server_tool_use and
tool_search_tool_result back unchanged on the next turn: "On the next request,
pass the assistant's content back unchanged." BedrockContentBlock.UnmarshalJSON
decoded only image, tool_use, tool_result and thinking, so both blocks hit no
case, fell through to an empty struct, and vanished.

The model was then shown a turn in which it called a tool it had never
discovered - the same silent-drop shape as the request-side bug in #7155, in
the other direction.

Decode both onto json:"-" carriers and rebuild the neutral tool_search_call
from the pair, matching on server_tool_use.id == result.tool_use_id via a
pre-scan, the way nova_code_interpreter results are already paired. The
references are read from the nested content object, with the flat spelling
accepted as a fallback, mirroring DiscoveredToolReferences on the Anthropic
side.

Only tool search is decoded here. Every other Anthropic server tool is either
Converse-representable or unsupported on this ingress, and reshaping one would
be a behaviour change well beyond this issue.
