Follow-up to #6220, which auto-merged two minutes before this commit was pushed.

#6220's last bot commit made _offers_edit_tool look inside any nested list, strings included. But _format_tools_for_completion keeps only tool dicts from a nested list, so tools=[["edit_file"]] sends no edit tool and yet got the "use edit_file" hint. That told the model to use a tool it doesn't have; Greptile flagged it on #6220.

This counts only dicts inside nested lists, matching the formatter. I checked the formatter's output for each shape with a fresh agent, because the formatter caches by tool name:

tools= formatter sends hint before hint after
[[{edit_file schema}]] edit_file yes yes
[["edit_file"]] nothing yes no

The bot's test asserted the false positive. It now uses a nested schema, plus a test that a nested string gets no hint. 33 related tests pass on current main.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Editing guidance now appears when a permitted edit tool is provided, including when its definition is nested. Guidance no longer appears for tools that are denied or for nested entries that are not valid tool definitions.
  • Tests
    • Added checks for nested edit-tool definitions, invalid nested entries, and denied edit tools to verify which tools and guidance are included in chat requests.

_format_tools_for_completion flattens a nested tool list but keeps only
its tool dicts, so tools=[["edit_file"]] sends no edit tool. Counting the
nested string told the model to use a tool it did not have.

Walkthrough

ChatMixin._offers_edit_tool now filters nested tool entries to valid function schemas and checks tool permission before offering the edit-tool hint. Tests verify detection, formatted tool handling, and permission-denied behavior.

Changes: Nested edit-tool detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Detection and native-chat tests
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/agent/chat_mixin.py, src/praisonai-agents/tests/unit/agent/test_system_prompt_relevant_hints.py
Nested tool entries qualify only when they are function-schema dictionaries. An edit tool qualifies only when _tool_name_allowed permits it. Tests cover nested invalid entries, formatted tools, and permission-denied tools.

The nested-list fix is mergeable with follow-up awareness: custom-LLM requests can still advertise denied edit tools while omitting their guidance. Align permission filtering across request paths.

Explanation

The title names the main change: the edit-tool hint now counts only tool dictionaries inside nested lists. The raw summary says _offers_edit_tool filters nested lists to valid function-schema dicts and gates the hint on _tool_name_allowed. The PR objectives describe the same fix, and the title matches it. The title is specific, uses a conventional prefix, and is 60 characters long.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 3 functions across 2 files.

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Count nested edit tools only when the formatter sends them.

For nested tool lists, _offers_edit_tool reads a dict's top-level name when it has no function dict. _format_tools_for_completion drops that dict, so the edit tool is not sent. The edit hint still names it, and the openai harness prompt says "use edit_file".

Assert the nested edit schema reaches the completion request.

The test test_nested_tool_list_offers_the_edit_hint checks only the system prompt. A change that drops the nested EDIT_SCHEMA from the tools sent to the model would still pass, and the prompt would still advertise edit_file. The existing _system_sent helper can capture the sent tool names, so add that check.

@claude You are the FINAL architecture reviewer. If the branch is under MervinPraison/PraisonAI (not a fork), you are able to make modifications to this branch and push directly. SCOPE: Review changes in this PR. Python SDK: praisonaiagents, praisonai. TypeScript SDK: src/praisonai-ts/. Do NOT modify src/praisonai-rust. Read ALL comments above from Gemini, Qodo, CodeRabbit, and Copilot carefully before responding.

MANDATORY READ (before reviewing):

  • Always read src/praisonai-agents/AGENTS.md
  • If this PR touches src/praisonai-ts/, also read src/praisonai-ts/AGENTS.md §2.1.2 (TS triage + PR review checklist)

Phase 1: Review per AGENTS.md

  1. Protocol-driven: check heavy implementations vs core SDK
  2. Backward compatible: ensure zero feature regressions
  3. Performance: no hot-path regressions
  4. SDK value: review in depth whether the change genuinely adds value to the SDK — never add features for the sake of adding them. It must strengthen the SDK (simpler, more user-friendly, robust, world-class, secure). If it does not clearly add value, request changes or recommend rejecting/closing rather than merging scope creep
  5. Do not bloat the Agent class with additional params — only if absolutely required; we already support many params.
  6. Repo routing: agent-callable tools → PraisonAI-Tools; lifecycle plugins → PraisonAI-Plugins; optional sandbox backends → PraisonAI-Plugins (praisonai.sandbox entry point) — request changes if wrongly added to praisonaiagents/
    6b. External tool examples (examples/tools/external/**): If the diff is confined to that path, mark SDK value ❌ for monorepo merge — redirect the contributor to PraisonAI-Tools; do not Approve for merge unless the PR has the maintainer-accept-example label.
    6c. New vendor *_tools.py in core (src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/tools/): If the PR adds a new *_tools.py for a third-party API/SaaS/dataset (e.g. FXMacroData), mark Repo routing ❌ and SDK value ❌ — redirect to MervinPraison/PraisonAI-Tools. Do not Approve because legacy bundled tools (Tavily/Exa/You.com/etc.) already in core are not precedent for new vendor modules. Request changes or recommend closing unless the PR has maintainer-accept-core-tools.

MANDATORY COMMENT FORMAT — include this Phase 1 table in your review comment:

Phase 1 — AGENTS.md review

Check Result
Protocol-driven / no heavy impl in core ✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale

Repo routing ✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale

For TypeScript PRs (src/praisonai-ts/), also add:
| TS types / parity / tests | ✅ or ❌ + one-line rationale (npm run build && npm test) |

Phase 2: FIX Valid Issues
7. For any VALID bugs or architectural flaws found by Gemini, CodeRabbit, Qodo, Copilot, or any other reviewer: implement the fix
8. Also independently identify and fix any gaps or issues you find in the changed code — do not rely only on prior reviewer feedback
9. Push all code fixes directly to THIS branch (do NOT create a new PR)
10. Comment a summary of exact files modified and what you skipped

Phase 3: Final Verdict
11. Never Approve or write “Approve for merge” if any Phase 1 row is ❌, if rule 6b/6c applies, or if the change belongs in PraisonAI-Tools/PraisonAI-Plugins. Use Request changes, redirect to the external repo, and recommend closing the monorepo PR when routing is wrong.
12. Approve only when every Phase 1 row is ✅ (including Repo routing and SDK value) and blocking issues are resolved; otherwise request changes with clear action items

_prune_denied_tools drops denied tools from the payload, so the hint must
not name them. Tests now record the formatted tool payload, which also
checks that a nested edit schema is actually sent.

Final architecture review — PR #6232

Phase 1 — AGENTS.md review

Check Result
Protocol-driven / no heavy impl in core ✅ A few lines in ChatMixin._offers_edit_tool, no new modules
Backward compatible ✅ The hint only changes when the edit tool is not sent to the model anyway (nested names, denied by permissions)
Performance (hot path) ✅ Adds one _tool_name_allowed set lookup per edit-named tool; the result is already part of the prompt cache key
SDK value ✅ The system prompt no longer tells the model to use an edit tool missing from the request, which avoids made-up tool calls
No Agent param bloat ✅ No new params or exports
Repo routing ✅ Core prompt-building logic, so it belongs in praisonaiagents

Phase 2 — Fixes pushed (a0ad968af)

Files modified

  • src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/agent/chat_mixin.py: _offers_edit_tool now also requires self._tool_name_allowed(name). This is the same check _prune_denied_tools uses, so an edit tool removed by permissions no longer earns the hint. (CodeRabbit, Minor; valid.)
  • src/praisonai-agents/tests/unit/agent/test_system_prompt_relevant_hints.py:
    • The _system_sent helper now records agent._format_tools_for_completion(tools), the payload the real request builds. Before, it recorded raw call arguments, so it saw None whenever tools were inherited from the agent and could not catch a schema being dropped.
    • Added test_nested_edit_schema_is_sent_with_the_hint: the hint and the nested edit_file schema are both sent. (CodeRabbit nitpick; valid.)
    • Added test_permission_denied_edit_tool_gets_no_hint: with edit_file denied, it is pruned from the payload and the hint is absent. This test fails without the fix.

Tests: test_system_prompt_relevant_hints.py 19/19 pass. Across tests/unit/agent and tests/unit/test_permissions.py: 670 pass, and 21 fail only because litellm is not installed in this runner. The same 21 fail on the base commit.

Skipped: Nothing. Both reviewer findings were valid and are fixed. No other issues found.

Phase 3 — Verdict

✅ Approve. All Phase 1 rows pass and both review findings are fixed.

Re-apply the permission prune when serving cached formatted tools.

On a cache hit, _format_tools_for_completion returns the stored list without pruning it. A PermissionManager deny rule added after the first request leaves the denied tool in the advertised schema. The edit hint drops, but the schema stays.

Patch the provider dispatch boundary in this test.

The fake replaces _chat_completion. The real formatting call and the dispatch below it do not run. Line 136 re-runs _format_tools_for_completion on the argument, so sent_tools records the test's own formatter output. A regression in the dispatcher, or in the formatter call inside _chat_completion, would still pass. Capture tools at the _unified_dispatcher.chat_completion call instead.

Apply the permission deny set to custom-LLM tools, or keep the edit hint in step with them.

On the custom-LLM path, the edit hint and the tool payload disagree. _offers_edit_tool skips denied edit tools, so a denied edit_file schema gets no hint. The custom-LLM branch still sends that schema unfiltered, so the model sees the tool without its guidance. Filter denied tools from tool_param before llm_kwargs is built, including raw callables and dicts. Add a custom-LLM test that asserts the sent tool names.

around lines 166 - 171:
Filter tools denied by the agent’s permission deny set from the custom-LLM
`tool_param` before building `llm_kwargs`, handling both raw callables and dict
tool definitions. Add a custom-LLM test that verifies denied tools are absent
from the tools sent to the LLM.

After applying the fix, consider running `coderabbit review --agent` for local
review. Visit https://docs.coderabbit.ai/cli?utm_source=ghpr

  • src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/agent/chat_mixin.py: inside a nested tool list, _offers_edit_tool now counts only dicts with type == "function" and a function dict. These are the same dicts _format_tools_for_completion keeps. Before, a nested {"name": "edit_file"} was dropped from the payload but still earned the edit hint. (CodeRabbit Minor; valid.)
  • src/praisonai-agents/tests/unit/agent/test_system_prompt_relevant_hints.py: added test_nested_bare_name_dict_gets_no_hint. It asserts that the formatter sends no tools and that the hint is absent. It fails without the fix.

Already addressed in a0ad968af: the permission-denied edit tool check and the nested schema send assertion (CodeRabbit inline and nitpick).

Tests: test_system_prompt_relevant_hints.py 20/20 pass. Across tests/unit/agent and tests/unit/test_permissions.py: 673 pass. 21 fail only because the [llm] extra (litellm) is not installed in this runner, the same as on the base commit.

Skipped: Nothing. No new params, exports or modules; agent.py is unchanged.
