Description

The Kimi-K3 tool parser (kimi_k3) logged Model attempted to call undefined function: <name> for every call whose name was not literally a declared tool's name. A namespaced tool is declared qualified (functions.exec), and Kimi-K3 calls it by its bare name (exec), which names that tool: the Responses API already reports such a call as the declared tool (_tool_resolution in tensorrt_llm/serve/responses_utils.py). So the warning was logged for calls that were fine.

In a production deployment serving agent traffic (Codex over the Responses API), 38,092 such warning lines were logged for bare names of namespaced tools (36,916 for exec, 1,176 for wait), against 41 calls that really named an undeclared tool, which were buried among them. The line count may include duplicate lines and covers a wider window than the requests.

With this change, a call that uses the bare name of exactly one declared tool no longer logs the warning. Every other undeclared name still does:

  • a name that no declared tool has, bare or qualified (tools.exec when functions.exec is declared);
  • a bare name that several declared tools share (status when a.status and b.status are declared).

Delivery is unchanged: every call is still delivered under the name the model wrote, on Chat Completions and on the Responses API. Only the warning changes.

The check is narrower than BaseToolParser.resolve_tool_name on purpose. Because calls are delivered as written, a name that only a wrong qualifier, a qualifier on a bare declaration, or markup fused onto the name would map onto a declared tool still reaches the client under a name it never declared, so it keeps its warning.

This PR is no longer stacked on #21112: it is now main plus one commit. It changes the same file as #21112 in different places, and the two commits merge without conflicts.

Test Coverage

tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_tool_parsers.py::TestKimiK3ToolParser (run in l0_cpu.yml), 4 new cases with small inline inputs. The tools are declared inside namespaces (functions.exec, functions.wait, a.status, b.status). Warnings are captured by patching the parser module's logger, as other tests in this file do.

  • test_bare_name_of_namespaced_tool_does_not_warn: calls to exec and wait log no warning and are delivered as written, with their arguments, at their positions.
  • test_call_naming_no_declared_tool_still_warns (undefined_func, status, tools.exec): next to a call to exec, the call that names no declared tool logs exactly one warning, naming it; both calls are delivered as written.

All 4 fail on main by assertion, because main also warns about the bare-name calls; the delivered calls are the same on main. Three variants of the new rule were also tried, and a case caught each one: accepting a bare name with two owners (status), matching only the last part of a qualified name (tools.exec), and using resolve_tool_name (tools.exec).

Run locally on CPU without the compiled bindings: test_tool_parsers.py gives 1137 passed here and 1133 on main. The same 37 tests fail on both: Qwen3-Coder grammar tests that need the real xgrammar, which that environment stubs out. test_kimi_serve_extensions.py: 104 passed.

Dev Engineer Review

_names_declared_tool suppresses the undefined-function warning when a call exactly matches a declared tool or matches the bare name of exactly one declared tool. Unknown names, ambiguous bare names, and unmatched qualified names still warn. Calls retain the model-provided name and are not remapped. The change is limited to Kimi-K3 warning behavior.

QA Engineer Review

Modified tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_tool_parsers.py. Added a test for bare names of uniquely namespaced tools and a parameterized test covering an unknown name, an ambiguous bare name, and an unmatched qualifier. The test file is listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml; no manual-QA list entry was found. Coverage verdict: sufficient for the warning cases added.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tensorrt_llm/serve/tool_parser/kimi_k3_tool_parser.py: Verify warnings for exact matches, uniquely resolvable bare names, unknown names, ambiguous bare names, and unmatched qualified names. Confirm calls remain under the names written by the model.
  • tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_tool_parsers.py: Covers warning behavior and call-name preservation for namespaced tool declarations. The file is listed in the CI test list tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml.

…red tool

The Kimi-K3 tool parser logged "Model attempted to call undefined function"
for every call whose name was not literally a declared tool's name. A
namespaced tool is declared qualified (functions.exec), and the model calls
it by its bare name (exec), which names that tool: the Responses API reports
such a call as the declared tool. In a production deployment serving agent
traffic, 38,092 warning lines were logged for bare names of namespaced tools
(36,916 for exec, 1,176 for wait), against 41 calls that really named an
undeclared tool. The line count may include duplicates and covers a wider
window than the requests.

A call that uses the bare name of exactly one declared tool no longer logs
the warning. Every other undeclared name still does: an unknown name, a bare
name that several declared tools share, and a qualified name that no declared
tool has. Calls are delivered as before, under the name the model wrote.

Walkthrough

The KimiK3 parser now recognizes a bare tool name when it matches exactly one declared namespaced tool. It still emits calls using the model-provided name. Tests cover matching and warning behavior.

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.
