[Fix] LiteLLM + Gemini: tool call id truncation corrupts thought_signature by PierrunoYT · Pull Request #2119 · Zoo-Code-Org/Zoo-Code

PierrunoYT · 2026-10-20T20:51:59Z

Fixes #2064

Problem

LiteLLM carries a Gemini thought signature inside the tool call id (call_xxx__thought__<signature>). The LiteLLM handler ran every tool call id through sanitizeOpenAiCallId, which truncates to 64 characters and appends _ + an 8-hex hash. For these ids that cut the signature and added the hash, so Gemini rejected the next request with 400 ... thought_signature ... Base64 decoding failed.

Fix

New sanitizeLiteLlmCallId (utils/tool-id.ts): for ids containing __thought__ only the call id before the marker is character-sanitized; the marker and the Base64 signature (+, /, =) pass through unchanged and are never truncated; all other ids keep the existing OpenAI 64-character treatment. LiteLLMHandler uses it for both the standard and the R1-format message conversion.

Notes

Gemini through LiteLLM does not need the 64-character limit for these ids; the ids stay as LiteLLM generated them.
A history that mixes a long thought-signature id with a provider that enforces 64 characters is not specially handled (same as before for non-LiteLLM providers).

Tests

tool-id.spec.ts (intact long id with a standard Base64 signature, sanitizing only the call-id prefix, other long ids still truncated, short ids unchanged) and a lite-llm.spec.ts test that the assistant tool_calls[].id and the tool message tool_call_id reach the request unchanged. check-types passes.

Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Bug Fixes
- Long tool-call IDs containing Gemini thought signatures are now preserved consistently across assistant messages and their matching tool results, without truncating the signature.
- Other tool-call IDs continue to have invalid characters sanitized and long IDs truncated, maintaining their existing handling.

LiteLLM now preserves long tool-call IDs containing a Gemini thought-signature marker in both message-conversion paths. IDs without the marker continue to use OpenAI sanitization and truncation. Tests cover sanitizer behavior and message conversion.

Changes: LiteLLM tool-call ID handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Thought-signature-aware ID sanitization `src/utils/tool-id.ts`, `src/utils/__tests__/tool-id.spec.ts`	`sanitizeLiteLlmCallId` sanitizes characters before `__thought__` and preserves the marker and suffix without truncation. IDs without the marker use existing OpenAI sanitization and truncation. Tests cover marked, unmarked, long, and short IDs.
LiteLLM conversion and integration coverage `src/api/providers/lite-llm.ts`, `src/api/providers/__tests__/lite-llm.spec.ts`	Both message-conversion paths use `sanitizeLiteLlmCallId`. An integration test checks that a long thought-signature ID is preserved in the assistant tool call and matching tool result.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 1c986

Gemini thought signatures now survive both LiteLLM conversion paths. The change is mergeable with bounded follow-up to add an R1-path test that detects missing ID sanitization.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #2064 requires that LiteLLM tool-call IDs containing __thought__ reach Gemini intact, so the follow-up request succeeds. At the reviewed head, sanitizeLiteLlmCallId in src/utils/tool-id.ts returns IDs containing LITELLM_THOUGHT_SIGNATURE_MARKER with only the prefix before the marker sanitized. The marker and the Base64 signature pass through without truncation or hash suffix. LiteLLMHandler.createMessage in src/api/providers/lite-llm.ts passes this function as normalizeToolCallId to both convertToR1Format (preserveReasoning path) and convertToOpenAiMessages. convertToOpenAiMessages applies normalizeId to assistant tool_use IDs and to tool-result tool_use_id, so both sides stay paired. Tests in tool-id.spec.ts cover intact long signature IDs, prefix-only sanitization, fallback truncation for other long IDs, and unchanged short IDs. A lite-llm.spec.ts test checks that the assistant tool_calls[].id and the tool message tool_call_id reach the request unchanged. The issue's non-coding workarounds do not apply. Limitation: the incremental diff from the previous reviewed head could not be read because diff tools were unavailable. This verdict rests on the reviewed head file contents and the supplied PR summary.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All changes support issue #2064. tool-id.ts adds the marker constant and sanitizeLiteLlmCallId. lite-llm.ts switches its two conversion paths from sanitizeOpenAiCallId to the new function and keeps mergeToolResultText: true on the R1 path. The tests in tool-id.spec.ts and lite-llm.spec.ts cover the new behavior. The non-LiteLLM providers still use sanitizeOpenAiCallId, and the PR does not change them. The PR description notes that mixed histories with a 64-character provider are not specially handled. That is a documented limitation, not an unrelated change. No unrelated behavior is visible in the supplied evidence. Limitation: the incremental diff since the previous reviewed head could not be read, so the scope of that increment is established only from the head file contents and the PR summary.

Full details: Security Boundaries

Explanation

No changed path meets the security failure conditions. sanitizeLiteLlmCallId only transforms tool-call IDs, and LiteLLMHandler.createMessage forwards them as JSON message fields to the configured LiteLLM endpoint. The preserved __thought__ suffix is not executed, used for authorization, or sent to a new recipient. The diff adds no secret/PII logging and no approval or allowlist bypass.

Full details: Persistence Integrity

Explanation

No changed persistence path exists. The pull request changes the pure sanitizeLiteLlmCallId utility and applies it while converting in-memory messages before the LiteLLM request. The diff adds no persistence write, rollback, atomicity, or default-propagation operation.

Full details: Lifecycle Resource Cleanup

Explanation

No changed lifecycle resource path exists. The production diff only replaces the pure ID normalizer used by LiteLLMHandler.createMessage in the OpenAI and R1 message-conversion branches, and adds pure string handling in sanitizeLiteLlmCallId. These changes do not create, retain, dispose, restart, or cancel listeners, watchers, timers, tasks, providers, or other resources. The added tests only validate message IDs.

Full details: Regression Evidence

Explanation

The prior coverage gap remains. LiteLLMHandler.createMessage changed both conversion branches (lite-llm.ts:196-203), but the added long __thought__ ID test uses the default model and covers only convertToOpenAiMessages (lite-llm.spec.ts:763-802). The preserveReasoning test still uses only toolu_123 and does not assert either tool ID (lite-llm.spec.ts:1255-1316). The R1 unit test covers a generic lowercase callback, not the handler's sanitizeLiteLlmCallId wiring. A regression in the R1 branch can therefore pass.

Resolution

Add a focused LiteLLMHandler.createMessage test that mocks fetchModel with info.preserveReasoning: true, sends an assistant/tool-result pair whose ID is longer than 64 characters and contains __thought__, and asserts that both the assistant tool_calls[0].id and matching tool message tool_call_id remain unchanged.
