Summary

This PR fixes several OpenAI Responses API schema mismatches where fields accepted polymorphic values (string or structured object) but were typed as plain strings. It also corrects a field name typo and extends file search filter support.

Changes

  • ResponsesToolMessage.Error was typed as *string but OpenAI now sends structured error objects (mcp_protocol_error, http_error, mcp_tool_execution_error) for MCP call errors. Replaced with a new ResponsesToolMessageError union type that handles both plain strings (legacy) and structured error objects, with a nil-safe .Text() method for extracting a human-readable message. All call sites updated accordingly, including deep-copy logic in both core/schemas and framework/streaming.

  • ResponsesParameters.Conversation was typed as *string but can also be an object with an id field. Replaced with a new ResponsesResponseConversation union type with proper marshal/unmarshal support. The semantic cache extraction was updated to handle both variants.

  • ResponsesToolMCPAllowedTools had ToolNames and Filter fields with json:",omitempty" tags but no custom marshal/unmarshal, causing it to always serialize as an object rather than an array when tool names are provided. Added explicit MarshalJSON/UnmarshalJSON to correctly round-trip both forms.

  • ResponsesMCPApprovalResponse.ApprovalResponseID was renamed to ApprovalRequestID (JSON: approval_request_id) to match the actual OpenAI wire format. The message type constant ResponsesMessageTypeMCPApprovalResponses was corrected from "mcp_approval_responses" to "mcp_approval_response".

  • File search filter types in and nin were not recognized by the marshal/unmarshal switch, causing decode failures. Added support for both types alongside the existing comparison filter types.

  • OpenAPI schema docs updated to reflect the polymorphic conversation, error, and allowed_tools fields.

  • Added TestResponsesOpenAIWireShapes round-trip tests pinning all of the above wire shapes.

Affected areas

  • Core (Go)
  • Transports (HTTP)
  • Providers/Integrations
  • Plugins
  • UI (React)
  • Docs

How to test

go test ./core/schemas/... ./core/mcp/... ./core/providers/anthropic/... ./plugins/semanticcache/... ./framework/streaming/...

The new TestResponsesOpenAIWireShapes test covers all fixed wire shapes via unmarshal/marshal round trips. Existing tests for tool error propagation and Starlark result extraction have been updated to use the new type.

Screenshots/Recordings

N/A

Breaking changes

  • Yes

ResponsesToolMessage.Error changed from *string to *ResponsesToolMessageError. Any code directly reading or writing this field must be updated to use the new union type or the .Text() helper. ResponsesMCPApprovalResponse.ApprovalResponseID was renamed to ApprovalRequestID and its JSON key changed from approval_response_id to approval_request_id.

Related issues

N/A

Security considerations

No new auth, secrets, or PII handling introduced. Error text extracted from structured error objects is treated as opaque strings, consistent with prior behavior.

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
    • Responses API conversations and tool errors support string or structured object formats.
    • MCP approval responses and flexible allowed-tool configurations are supported.
    • File-search filters support in and nin comparisons, including array values.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Tool errors are detected consistently across tool results and message conversions, with a fallback message when an error has no text.
    • Corrected MCP approval response formatting and identifiers.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the Responses API schema to reflect supported formats.

Walkthrough

The PR adds structured Responses API representations for conversations, errors, approvals, filters, and allowed tools. It updates wire schemas, copying, metadata, provider conversion, mux handling, and tests.

Changes

Responses API shapes and propagation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Responses schema unions and filters
core/schemas/responses.go
Responses types support structured conversations and errors, corrected MCP approval fields, expanded file-search filters, and array or object allowed-tools representations.
Wire schema validation
docs/openapi/schemas/inference/responses.yaml, core/schemas/responses_test.go
The OpenAPI schema and tests cover supported conversation and error forms, approval identifiers, filters, and allowed-tools forms.
Copy and metadata handling
core/schemas/utils.go, framework/streaming/responses.go, framework/streaming/responses_test.go, core/schemas/responses_test.go, plugins/semanticcache/utils.go
Copy paths independently preserve structured error fields and content bytes. Semantic cache metadata stores a conversation string or object identifier.
Error propagation and fixtures
core/mcp/codemode/starlark/*, core/schemas/mux.go, core/schemas/toolerrormux_test.go, core/providers/anthropic/*
Consumers classify structured errors, extract error text, preserve output, and use the fallback "tool call returned an error" when required. Tests cover structured and legacy error behavior.

In `@core/mcp/codemode/starlark/utils.go`:
- Around line 140-141: Update extractResultFromResponsesMessage to handle a
present ResponsesToolMessageError before processing Output; when the structured
error is empty and Text() returns no message, return a non-empty fallback error,
while preserving the existing behavior for an absent error or empty legacy error
string.

In `@core/providers/anthropic/responses.go`:
- Around line 7206-7210: The Anthropic tool-result builders currently mark
errors only when ResponsesToolMessage.Error.Text() is non-empty, so structured
empty errors lose IsError. Update all three builders to set IsError whenever
Error != nil, while using Error.Text() only as fallback content when no output
exists; preserve existing content handling otherwise.

In `@core/schemas/mux.go`:
- Line 857: Update the IsError condition in the ChatToolMessage conversion to
check whether rm.ResponsesToolMessage.Error is non-nil, rather than relying on
Error.Text() being non-empty. Preserve text extraction separately where error
content is needed so an empty error object still marks the tool message as
failed.

In `@core/schemas/responses.go`:
- Around line 2232-2241: Update ResponsesToolMessageError.UnmarshalJSON and
ResponsesToolMCPAllowedTools.UnmarshalJSON in core/schemas/responses.go at lines
2232-2241 and 3619-3628 so each successful decode replaces the complete receiver
value, clearing any previously populated union variant before assigning the
newly decoded representation.

In `@core/schemas/utils.go`:
- Around line 1398-1400: Update DeepCopyResponsesMessage’s
ResponsesToolMessageErrorStruct copy path to deep-copy the Code and Message
pointer fields independently, rather than retaining the shallow-copied pointers.
Preserve the existing Content copy and ensure mutations to any copied field do
not affect the original message.

In `@framework/streaming/responses.go`:
- Around line 298-300: Update the structured error copy in the
ResponsesToolMessage cloning path to independently clone Code and Message as
well as Content, so mutations through either copy cannot affect the original.
Preserve the existing copyErrorStruct and ResponsesToolMessageErrorStruct
assignment flow.
- Around line 293-300: Update the framework core dependency to v1.9.0 so the
ResponsesToolMessageErrorStr and ResponsesToolMessageErrorStruct fields accessed
by the response-copy logic are available when resolving with GOWORK=off; leave
the semantic-cache conversation fields unchanged.

core/schemas/responses.go:1186-1195
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Clear the previous conversation union arm during decoding.

A reused ResponsesResponseConversation retains its previous arm. For example, decoding an object and then a string leaves both fields set. The next marshal then fails the exclusive-union check.

Replace the full receiver after each successful decode.
