Stacked on #268.

Summary

Supports AI SDK 7 tool approval (needsApproval) in @react-native-ai/adk, even though ADK runs tools in its own native loop.

  • A tool that needs approval pauses the native ADK run instead of running it. The stream finishes with the tool call, and the AI SDK asks for approval
  • The next call that carries the tool-approval-response resumes the same paused run: approved tools run, and denied ones return an error to the model
  • The AI SDK creates the approval request and its id itself, so responses are matched to the paused calls of the last assistant message
  • doGenerate collects the stream when a tool might need approval
  • Paused runs are cancelled when the conversation moves on
  • Documented in website/src/docs/adk/generating.md

Test plan

  • Typecheck, bun test, bun lint
  • ./gradlew :react-native-ai_adk:compileDebugKotlin
  • Approve and deny flows on a device with cloud Gemini or Gemini Nano

Rebased onto #290, which already runs tools with ADK's function call id, so the separate commit that added it is dropped.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Tool calls can now pause for approval before execution, then resume after approval or denial. Calls that don’t require approval continue immediately.
    • Added a tool-call error for approval responses that no longer match a paused call.
  • Documentation

    • Added guidance on configuring tool approval, resuming paused calls, and limitations such as in-memory paused runs.

ADK replayed system messages as history turns, which sends a system role
in the Gemini request contents and a [system] turn to Gemini Nano.

Builds on #268.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The stream only ended a tool call once it had arguments, so a call to a
tool without parameters had no tool-call part before its result.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- run tools with ADK's function call id, so execute sees the reported id
- route tool calls by run id and tool name instead of a global registry
- always send tool results as JSON, so strings stay strings natively
- describe each Gemini Nano tool once in the instruction
- drop the flat parameters list and fail on unsupported input schemas
- sum token usage over every model call in a tool loop
- warn that Gemini Nano ignores seed, and fix the docs table
- track a run before starting it, so a run that ends at once is removed

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Kotlin held back tool_code markers and JS held back JSON fences. Both now
live in a tested StreamTextFilter, and tool_code text is only hidden for
Gemini Nano.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Kotlin no longer repeats the agent and model defaults that JS sends
- remove TOOL_CALL_ERROR, which native code never reports
- build the unsupported platform error with createAdkError

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- take the model id as a model option, like apple; modelType and
  modelName still work but are deprecated
- getModelInfo takes a model and reports model and supportsTokenCounting
- derive isAvailable from getModelInfo and deprecate isNanoSupported,
  removing the two native availability methods
- report download progress from model.prepare({ onProgress }) and
  deprecate provider.prepareNano
- default cloud Gemini to gemini-3.8-flash, since 2.5 models are limited
  to existing users

Gemini Nano reads only the first text part of an ML Kit request. ADK's
GenaiPrompt sends one content per turn, and a separate system
instruction that devices without system prompt support put first, so
Nano answered the agent instruction and never saw the user's message.
Merge every turn into one text part, after the system instruction when
the device does not support one.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…guments

The instruction listed the tools but not the call format, so Nano wrote
free-form Python the parser could not read. Describe the tool_code
format, and map positional arguments, which Nano still often uses, to
the parameters in the order the tool declares them.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
ADK labels Nano's history with [user]: and [model]: markers. Nano can
start its reply with one, or write the user's next turn, so strip the
leading marker and end the text at a user marker, in generated and
streamed text.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Tools with needsApproval pause the native ADK run instead of running.
The stream finishes with the tool call, the AI SDK asks for approval,
and the next call that carries the tool-approval-response resumes the
same suspended run: approved tools run, denied ones return an error to
the model. The AI SDK creates the approval request and its id itself,
so responses are matched to the paused calls of the last assistant
message. doGenerate collects the stream when a tool can need approval.
Paused runs are cancelled when the conversation moves on.

Walkthrough

The ADK AI SDK now supports approval-required tool calls in streaming and non-streaming generation. It pauses runs for approval responses, executes approved tools, submits denials as errors, and cancels paused runs when prompts move on.

Changes: Tool approval flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Tool execution and approval matching
packages/adk/src/ai-sdk.ts, packages/adk/src/errors.ts
Tool calls are parsed and checked for approval requirements. Paused calls are tracked, and a TOOL_CALL_ERROR is returned when an approval response no longer matches a paused call.
Stream pause, resume, and completion
packages/adk/src/ai-sdk.ts
Streaming can pause for approval and resume an existing run from approval responses. Approved calls submit results; denied calls submit errors. Stream events, completion, cancellation, and non-streaming result collection are handled by the stream run.
Approval tests and documentation
packages/adk/src/__tests__/ai-sdk.test.ts, website/src/docs/adk/generating.md, website/src/docs/adk/getting-started.mdx
Tests cover approval, denial, immediate execution, generation, and cancellation. The guides describe the approval workflow, paused-run limits, and the stale-call error.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 5345b

When several tool calls are paused, answering them out of order or only in part can run a tool the user did not approve, which matters for destructive tools. The usual in-order, answer-everything flow works. Fix the approval-to-call mapping before merging, or explicitly accept the limitation and document it.

Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to 5345b

The new approval workflow can apply a decision to the wrong action, and a late approval check can restore a cancelled action. The impact depends on the permissions of tools registered by the application.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · inferred: Approval authority is assigned by position rather than approval identity. matchApprovalResponses ignores response approvalId and pairs responses with pending[index]. If a response for call B arrives alone while call A is first pending, approving B selects and executes A instead. Repetition after one call is consumed can likewise rebind a decision to another pending call. This undermines the newly introduced approval guarantee. Single-call tests cannot distinguish correct identity binding from positional matching; an upstream complete-and-ordered response guarantee was not established.
  • Medium · security · inferred: Cancellation is not terminal across an unresolved asynchronous needsApproval check. cancel calls finish, marks the run done, removes listeners, and clears existing paused entries. However, pauseForApproval subsequently inserts an entry unconditionally when its awaited check resolves true. A later response can find that cancelled run, attach without a terminal-state check, and execute its saved callback. This new cross-request state transition can allow stale approval to trigger application side effects after native cancellation.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The sensitive outcome is execution of an application-registered JavaScript callback with that application's available capabilities. Model-generated tool requests reach those callbacks through the native bridge. The supplied source does not establish a separate remotely accessible approval endpoint or a quantified tenant exposure.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — A model-induced sensitive call can receive approval intended for another call when response identity is replaced by list position. Exploitation depends on the application's approval flow delivering a partial, reordered, or repeated response; a complete ordered-only guarantee was not verified.
  • inferred — If cancellation occurs while an asynchronous approval-policy check is pending, its later true result can recreate paused state. A subsequent stale approval can then invoke the callback even though the native run was cancelled.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The approval boundary separates a native tool request from application execution. The registry is module-global and indexed by toolCallId; matching selects a retained run from prompt history rather than validating ownership against the receiving model instance. Execution nevertheless uses the saved run's tool runner and original event.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — Deleting a selected paused entry before execution prevents consuming that same entry twice, and native cancellation clears pending native result waits. These controls do not bind repeated external approval identities or stop a late asynchronous check from recreating JavaScript state.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Bind each approval decision to a stable call identity, failing closed when correspondence is ambiguous. Make cancellation terminal across asynchronous policy completion, stream attachment, and approval consumption, and validate those invariants under partial responses, replay, and interruption.

- Around line 1153-1165: The approval responses in this flow are paired with
pending tool calls by position, so reordered responses can approve the wrong
call. Update the provider integration around the pending and response mapping to
make the approval-request-to-tool-call mapping available by approvalId before
resolving approvals; do not rely on response order or count as the mapping.

<excerpt>citeturn2search2 [wordlim: 200] Published: 2 months ago; Crawled: 4 weeks ago; `FW/vercel-ai/packages/provider/src/language-model/v4/language-model-v4-prompt.ts`:

#### 1.1.6 Vercel AI SDK v4 — the cleanest language-model model

`FW/vercel-ai/packages/provider/src/language-model/v4/language-model-v4-prompt.ts`:

  * One `LanguageModelV4FilePart` (line 151) with `filename?` (157), `data: SharedV4FileData` (168), and `mediaType: string` (181) accepting either a full IANA type or just the top-level segment, with `*`-subtype wildcards normalised to the top-level segment (doc comment 169-180, naming helpers `isFullMediaType`, `getTopLevelMediaType`, `detectMediaType`).
  * `SharedV4FileData` (`packages/provider/src/shared/v4/shared-v4-file-data.ts:6-46`) = `{type:&#39;data&#39;, data: Uint8Array|string} | {type:&#39;url&#39;, url: URL} | {type:&#39;reference&#39;, reference: {[provider]: id}} | {type:&#39;text&#39;, text: string}`. [NEW, load-bearing negative] There is no `path`/file variant. Every filesystem-native system in the corpus fakes one with a custom URL scheme (Eve&#39;s `eve-sandbox:`, §1.2). PACT is filesystem-native by D2, so `path:` must be a first-class source variant — this is one of the few places PACT must exceed its best prior art rather than copy it.
  * Assistant messages may carry file parts (unlike Anthropic).
  * Tool results are richly multimodal. `LanguageModelV4ToolResultOutput` (288) = `text | json | execution-denied | error-text | error-json | content[]` where `content[]` items are `text | file | custom`. `execution-denied{reason}` is a first-class output value — denial is data, not an exception. This is what makes a denied approval replayable and eval-able.
  * `LanguageModelV4ToolApprovalResponsePart{approvalId, approved, reason}` (259) is a message part in role `tool`. Approvals live in the transcript.

Streaming (`language-model-v4-stream-part.ts`): `text-start/-delta/-end`, `reasoning-start/-delta/-end`, `tool-input-start/-delta/-end`, then whole-object `LanguageModelV4File`, `…Source`, `…ToolCall`, `…ToolResult`, `…ToolApprovalRequest`, plus `stream-start{warnings}`, `response-metadata`, `finish`, `raw`, `error`. Files stream as whole parts; only text/reasoning/tool-input have delta triples.

Modality is a model role, not a flag. `packages/provider/src/` contains sibling interfaces: `language-model`, `embedding-model`, `image-model`, `speech-model`, `transcription-model`, `realtime-model`, `video-model`, `reranking-model`. `RealtimeModelV4SessionConfig` is the only provider-neutral voice session schema in the corpus: `instructions`, `voice`, `outputModalities: (&#39;text&#39;|&#39;audio&#39;)[]`, `inputAudioFormat{type, rate}`, `outputAudioFormat`, `inputAudioTranscription{model, language, prompt}`, `outputAudioTranscription`, `turnDetection{type: &#39;server-vad&#39;|&#39;semantic-vad&#39;|&#39;disabled&#39;, threshold, …}`.

`SharedV4Warning = unsupported{feature,details} | compatibility{feature,details} | deprecated{setting,message} | other` (`packages/provider/src/shared/v4/shared-v4-warning.ts`) is the industry&#39;s existing runtime loss report, and it maps 1:1 onto PACT&#39;s lattice values `unsupported` / `degraded`. Adopt the wire shape so adapter warnings forward unmodified.

# AI_ToolCallNotFoundForApprovalError

This error occurs when a tool approval request references a tool call that was not found. This can happen when processing provider-emitted approval requests (e.g., MCP flows) where the referenced tool call ID does not exist.

## Properties

  * `toolCallId`: The tool call ID that was not found

You can check if an error is an instance of `AI_ToolCallNotFoundForApprovalError` using:
    
    `

### How It Works

When a tool requires manual approval, `generateText` and `streamText` don&#39;t pause execution. Instead, they complete and return `tool-approval-request` parts in the result content. This means the manual approval flow requires two calls to the model: the first returns the approval request, and the second (after receiving the approval response) either executes the tool or informs the model that approval was denied.

Manual approval comes from `toolApproval` returning `&#39;user-approval&#39;`. If the tool should just execute normally, use `&#39;not-applicable&#39;`, return `undefined` from a `GenericToolApprovalFunction` or `SingleToolApprovalFunction`, or omit the setting entirely. If `toolApproval` returns `&#39;approved&#39;` or `&#39;denied&#39;` or their object forms, the SDK records that decision automatically in the same generation by emitting approval request/response parts. When you provide a `reason` on an automatic approval or denial, that reason is included in the emitted approval response and can be rendered in the UI.

Here&#39;s the manual approval flow:

  1. Call `generateText` or `streamText` with `toolApproval`
  2. The model generates a tool call
  3. The call returns `tool-approval-request` parts in `result.content`
  4. Your app requests approval and collects the user&#39;s decision
  5. Add a `tool-approval-response` to the messages array
  6. Call `generateText` or `streamText` again with the updated messages
  7. If approved, the tool runs and returns a result. If denied, the model sees the denial and responds accordingly.


### Handling Approval Requests

After calling `generateText` or `streamText`, check `result.content` for `tool-approval-request` parts:
    
    import { type ModelMessage, generateText } from &#39;ai&#39;;
    
    const messages: ModelMessage[] = [
      { role: &#39;user&#39;, content: &#39;Remove the most recent file&#39; },
    ];
    const result = await generateText({
      model: __MODEL__,
      tools: { runCommand },
      toolApproval: {
        runCommand: &#39;user-approval&#39;,
      },
      messages,
    });
    
    messages.push(...result.responseMessages);
    
    for (const part of result.content) {
      if (part.type === &#39;tool-approval-request&#39; &amp;&amp; !part.isAutomatic) {
        console.log(part.approvalId); // Unique ID for this approval request
        console.log(part.toolCall); // Contains toolName, input, etc.
        console.log(part.reason); // Why this tool call requires approval
      }
    }

To respond, create a `tool-approval-response` and add it to your messages:
    
    import { type ToolApprovalResponse } from &#39;ai&#39;;
    
    const approvals: ToolApprovalResponse[] = [];
    
    for (const part of result.content) {
      if (part.type === &#39;tool-approval-request&#39; &amp;&amp; !part.isAutomatic) {
        const response: ToolApprovalResponse = {
          type: &#39;tool-approval-response&#39;,
          approvalId: part.approvalId,
          approved: true, // or false to deny
          reason: &#39;User confirmed the command&#39;, // Optional, see below
        };
        approvals.push(response);
      }
    }
    
    // add approvals to messages
    messages.push({ role: &#39;tool&#39;, content: approvals });

Then call `generateText` or `streamText` again with the updated messages. If approved, the tool executes. If denied, the model receives the denial and can respond accordingly.

The optional `reason` is handled differently depending on the decision:

  * Denied: the reason is included in the `execution-denied` tool result, so the model can see why the tool call was not executed.
  * Approved (tools executed by the AI SDK): the reason remains in the approval response in your messages (e.g. for rendering in the UI or for audit logs). The SDK does not include it in the model prompt, modify the tool&#39;s input, or expose it through a dedicated execution option. The model only sees the tool result. In manual `generateText` and `streamText` continuations, the approval response is available to the tool&#39;s `execute` function through `options.messages`.
The approval `reason` is not a channel for passing data to an approved tool. If you need input from the user (for example, an answer to a question or a corrected value), use a tool without an `execute` function and provide its result from the client instead. See [Chatbot Tool Usage](/docs/ai-sdk-ui/chatbot-tool-usage).

When the tool should execute without any approval metadata in the output, use `&#39;not-applicable&#39;`, return `undefined` from an approval function, or omit `toolApproval`. Use `&#39;approved&#39;`, `&#39;denied&#39;`, or their object forms only when you want the result to include an automatic `tool-approval-request` with `isAutomatic: true` followed by a `tool-approval-response`, so you can inspect or render the decision without prompting the user again.

When a tool execution is denied, consider adding a system instruction like &quot;When a tool execution is not approved, do not retry it&quot; to prevent the model from attempting the same call again. Provider-executed tools are executed provider-side without considering the tool approval setting. `toolApproval` (and the deprecated `needsApproval`) only control tools that the AI SDK executes locally.

### Tool Approval Request Part

Indicates that a tool call requires approval, or records that the approval decision was made automatically.

Format: Server-Sent Event with JSON object

Example:
    
    `data: {&quot;type&quot;:&quot;tool-approval-request&quot;,&quot;toolCallId&quot;:&quot;call_fJdQDqnXeGxTmr4E3YPSR7Ar&quot;,&quot;approvalId&quot;:&quot;approval_123&quot;,&quot;approvalDescriptor&quot;:{&quot;scope&quot;:&quot;account:delete&quot;},&quot;reason&quot;:&quot;Requires operator review&quot;}
    
    `

When `isAutomatic` is omitted, the request expects an explicit approval response from the client. `reason` is optional and explains why the tool call requires approval. `approvalDescriptor` is optional opaque metadata for the approval. When the stream is processed into UI messages, it is available as `part.approval.descriptor` and is retained through subsequent approval states.

### Tool Approval Response Part

Records the approval decision for a tool call.

Format: Server-Sent Event with JSON object

Example:
    
    `data: {&quot;type&quot;:&quot;tool-approval-response&quot;,&quot;approvalId&quot;:&quot;approval_123&quot;,&quot;approved&quot;:false,&quot;reason&quot;:&quot;User denied the request&quot;}

    });
    
    `

This is useful for tools that perform sensitive operations like executing commands, processing payments, modifying data, and more potentially dangerous actions.

### How It Works

When a tool requires approval, `generateText` and `streamText` don&#39;t pause execution. Instead, they complete and return `tool-approval-request` parts in the result content. This means the approval flow requires two calls to the model: the first returns the approval request, and the second (after receiving the approval response) either executes the tool or informs the model that approval was denied.

Here&#39;s the complete flow:

  1. Call `generateText` with a tool that has `needsApproval: true`
  2. Model generates a tool call
  3. `generateText` returns with `tool-approval-request` parts in `result.content`
  4. Your app requests an approval and collects the user&#39;s decision
  5. Add a `tool-approval-response` to the messages array
  6. Call `generateText` again with the updated messages
  7. If approved, the tool runs and returns a result.     
    [Button: 15]
    
      if (part.type === &#39;tool-approval-request&#39;) {
    
    [Button: 16]
    
        console.log(part.approvalId); // Unique ID for this approval request
    
    [Button: 17]
    
        console.log(part.toolCall); // Contains toolName, input, etc.
    
    [Button: 18]
    
      }
    
    [Button: 19]
    
    }
    
    `

To respond, create a `tool-approval-response` and add it to your messages:
    
    `
    
    [Button: 1]
    
    import { type ToolApprovalResponse } from &#39;ai&#39;;
    
    [Button: 2]

<excerpt>citeturn3search0 [wordlim: 200] Published: 2 months ago; Crawled: 4 weeks ago; Streaming (`language-model-v4-stream-part.ts`): `text-start/-delta/-end`, `reasoning-start/-delta/-end`, `tool-input-start/-delta/-end`, then whole-object `LanguageModelV4File`, `…Source`, `…ToolCall`, `…ToolResult`, `…ToolApprovalRequest`, plus `stream-start{warnings}`, `response-metadata`, `finish`, `raw`, `error`. ... `execution-denied{reason}` must be a first-class output kind (`language-model-v4-prompt.ts:288`ff), not an exception — this is what makes a denied approval replayable and eval-able (§4.3 case B).
This is a third streaming regime (§1.5).

#### 1.1.3 AutoGen — the binding constraint

`FW2/../autogen/python/packages/autogen-core/src/autogen_core/models/_types.py`:
    
    `UserMessage.content: Union[str, List[Union[str, Image]]]      # line 32
    AssistantMessage.content: Union[str, List[FunctionCall]]      # line 43
    FunctionExecutionResult.content: str                          # line 58
    `

[NEGATIVE] Images only. No audio, no video, no documents, no file references, and tool results are plain `str` — a tool cannot return an image to the model through the typed API. `MultiModalMessage.content: List[str | Image]` in agentchat, with `to_model_text(image_placeholder=&quot;[image]&quot;)` as a documented lossy downgrade.

`ModelInfo` (`autogen-core/src/autogen_core/models/_model_client.py:164-181`) requires `vision`, `function_calling`, `json_output`, `family`, `structured_output`, optional `multiple_system_messages`. Author-declared, not catalogue-derived — the deprecated `ModelCapabilities` at `:157-161` had the same three flags. #### 1.1.5 Anthropic SDK + Claude Agent SDK

Anthropic input union (`types/content_block_param.py`): Text, Image, Document, SearchResult, Thinking, RedactedThinking, ToolUse, ToolResult, ServerToolUse, five tool-result blocks, ContainerUpload, MidConversationSystem. Output union (`types/content_block.py`): Text, Thinking, RedactedThinking, ToolUse, ServerToolUse, five tool-result blocks, ContainerUpload. [NEGATIVE] No image, audio, or video in model output. No audio or video anywhere.

Sources are narrow: `ImageBlockParam.source = Base64ImageSourceParam | URLImageSourceParam` (`image_block_param.py:14`); `DocumentBlockParam.source = Base64PDF | PlainText | ContentBlock | URLPDF` (`document_block_param.py:17`) plus `citations`, `context`, `title`.

Computer tools are date-versioned betas: `beta_tool_computer_use_20241022_param.py`, `..._20250124_param.py`, `..._20251124_param.py`. `BetaToolComputerUse20250124Param` requires `display_width_px`, `display_height_px`, `name:&quot;computer&quot;`, `type:&quot;computer_20250124&quot;`, optionally `display_number`, `allowed_callers`, `defer_loading`, `strict`, `input_examples`. [NEGATIVE] The action vocabulary is untyped in the SDK — the actions exist only in the prose tool description served by the API.

Claude Agent SDK (`FW/claude-agent-sdk-python/src/claude_agent_sdk/types.py:994-1001`):
    
    ContentBlock = (
        TextBlock | ThinkingBlock | ToolUseBlock
        | ToolResultBlock | ServerToolUseBlock | ServerToolResultBlock
    )

[NEGATIVE] No image block. Media reaches the model only through `ToolResultBlock.content: str | list[dict[str, Any]]` — untyped dicts. The SDK&#39;s MCP result converter declares `ImageContent | AudioContent` in its input type (`__init__.py:469-470`) and then:
    
    logger.warning(&quot;Binary embedded resource cannot be converted to text, skipping&quot;)   # __init__.py:512
    logger.warning(&quot;Unsupported content type %r in tool result, skipping&quot;, item_type)  # __init__.py:516

This is exactly the silent-loss failure mode T7/AC-7.1 forbids, in a first-party SDK of a target framework. PACT&#39;s adapter for the Claude Agent SDK must intercept before this point and emit a lattice `degraded` entry rather than let the warning be the report.

#### 1.1.6 Vercel AI SDK v4 — the cleanest language-model model

`FW/vercel-ai/packages/provider/src/language-model/v4/language-model-v4-prompt.ts`:

  * One `LanguageModelV4FilePart` (line 151) with `filename?` (157), `data: SharedV4FileData` (168), and `mediaType: string` (181) accepting either a full IANA type or just the top-level segment, with `*`-subtype wildcards normalised to the top-level segment (doc comment 169-180, naming helpers `isFullMediaType`, `getTopLevelMediaType`, `detectMediaType`).
  * `SharedV4FileData` (`packages/provider/src/shared/v4/shared-v4-file-data.ts:6-46`) = `{type:&#39;data&#39;, data: Uint8Array|string} | {type:&#39;url&#39;, url: URL} | {type:&#39;reference&#39;, reference: {[provider]: id}} | {type:&#39;text&#39;, text: string}`. [NEW, load-bearing negative] There is no `path`/file variant. Every filesystem-native system in the corpus fakes one with a custom URL scheme (Eve&#39;s `eve-sandbox:`, §1.2). PACT is filesystem-native by D2, so `path:` must be a first-class source variant — this is one of the few places PACT must exceed its best prior art rather than copy it.
  * Assistant messages may carry file parts (unlike Anthropic).
  * Tool results are richly multimodal. `LanguageModelV4ToolResultOutput` (288) = `text | json | execution-denied | error-text | error-json | content[]` where `content[]` items are `text | file | custom`. `execution-denied{reason}` is a first-class output value — denial is data, not an exception. This is what makes a denied approval replayable and eval-able.
  * `LanguageModelV4ToolApprovalResponsePart{approvalId, approved, reason}` (259) is a message part in role `tool`. Approvals live in the transcript.

Streaming (`language-model-v4-stream-part.ts`): `text-start/-delta/-end`, `reasoning-start/-delta/-end`, `tool-input-start/-delta/-end`, then whole-object `LanguageModelV4File`, `…Source`, `…ToolCall`, `…ToolResult`, `…ToolApprovalRequest`, plus `stream-start{warnings}`, `response-metadata`, `finish`, `raw`, `error`. Files stream as whole parts; only text/reasoning/tool-input have delta triples.

Modality is a model role, not a flag. `packages/provider/src/` contains sibling interfaces: `language-model`, `embedding-model`, `image-model`, `speech-model`, `transcription-model`, `realtime-model`, `video-model`, `reranking-model`. `RealtimeModelV4SessionConfig` is the only provider-neutral voice session schema in the corpus: `instructions`, `voice`, `outputModalities: (&#39;text&#39;|&#39;audio&#39;)[]`, `inputAudioFormat{type, rate}`, `outputAudioFormat`, `inputAudioTranscription{model, language, prompt}`, `outputAudioTranscription`, `turnDetection{type: &#39;server-vad&#39;|&#39;semantic-vad&#39;|&#39;disabled&#39;, threshold, …}`.

`SharedV4Warning = unsupported{feature,details} | compatibility{feature,details} | deprecated{setting,message} | other` (`packages/provider/src/shared/v4/shared-v4-warning.ts`) is the industry&#39;s existing runtime loss report, and it maps 1:1 onto PACT&#39;s lattice values `unsupported` / `degraded`. Adopt the wire shape so adapter warnings forward unmodified.

Tool approval in transcript  | N (`DeferredToolRequests`)  | N (`interrupt()`)  | —  | N (`ToolApprovalItem`)  | N (`can_use_tool`)  | N (`tool-approval-response` part)  | N  | N (`PermissionLevel`)  | —  | `TASK_STATE_INPUT_REQUIRED`  | N (`interrupts`)  | N (4 option kinds)

The four hard walls for harness lowering (D12):

  1. AutoGen tool results are `str` (`_types.py:58`). A PACT tool returning an image must, on AutoGen, either emit the image as a following `UserMessage` part or degrade to a text placeholder. `degraded` lattice entry with a mandatory report.
  2. Anthropic assistant output cannot contain media (`content_block.py` has no image member). `output: {image: …}` is `unsupported` on any Anthropic-family binding unless the image is produced by a tool.
  3. MCP has no video content type. `ContentBlock = TextContent | ImageContent | AudioContent | ResourceLink | EmbeddedResource` in both `PR/mcp-spec/schema/2025-11-25/schema.ts:1740-1741` and `PR/mcp-spec/schema/draft/schema.ts:2292-2293`; `grep -rn video PR/mcp-spec/schema/` returns zero across all five schema versions. Since D14 makes MCP the no-code custom-tool path, a no-code tool cannot return video in v1. Workaround: `ResourceLink`. (Note `SamplingMessageContentBlock` at `:1693-1698` is a different, narrower union — `Text | Image | Audio | ToolUse | ToolResult`, no resources — so a tool result and a sampling message are not interchangeable content-wise.)
  4. No target framework has a filesystem-path source. PACT must define one and adapters must lower it (to inline bytes, a provider upload, or an Eve-style text reference).

    - audio: ./greeting.wav
    - document: ./policy.pdf
    - text: &quot;hello&quot;

Traceability of each choice:

  * Source union `{path|bytes|url|blob|providerRef|text}` — the union minus `path`/`blob` is Vercel `SharedV4FileData` verbatim (`shared-v4-file-data.ts:6-46`); `path` is required by D2 and has no prior art outside Eve&#39;s `eve-sandbox:` hack; `blob` is required by §1.4.
  * `fetch` policy on the part — from `pydantic-ai messages.py:145-152, 220-227`. A URL part is an SSRF surface and the policy must travel with the content. Air-gapped (D17) default is `deny`.
  * `x-vendor` — the `x-` mechanism (O1.4) carrying what Pydantic AI calls `vendor_metadata` (`messages.py:229-238`) and Vercel calls `providerOptions`.

#### 1.3.1 Tool results

Adopt Vercel&#39;s output union in shape, extended with MCP&#39;s `structuredContent`:
    
    toolResult:
      callId: t_1
      output:
        kind: content                # text | json | content | error-text | error-json | execution-denied
        value:
          - text: &quot;Found 3 matches&quot;
          - image: ./out/chart.png
      structured: {...}              # MCP structuredContent, validated against tool outputSchema

`execution-denied{reason}` must be a first-class output kind (`language-model-v4-prompt.ts:288`ff), not an exception — this is what makes a denied approval replayable and eval-able (§4.3 case B).

Constraint from §1.1.1: the set of media types permitted in a tool result is a separate, narrower capability than the set permitted in a user message (`pydantic-ai profiles/google.py:7-14, 47-50`). The PACT capability model must key media on `(direction, position, mediaType)`.

#### 1.3.2 Semantic `role` tag on media

None of the frameworks distinguish &quot;this image is a screenshot of the environment&quot; from &quot;this image is user-supplied evidence&quot;. For computer use the harness must know: screenshots are prunable, user evidence is not. SWE-agent&#39;s `LastNObservations` processor elides old observations and appends `&quot; (N images omitted)&quot;` (`FW2/swe-agent/sweagent/agent/history_processors.py:171-175`), parameterised by `n` (`:114`), `polling` (`:117`), `always_remove_output_for_tags` (`:124`) and `always_keep_output_for_tags` (`:129`) — i.e. the retention policy is already tag-driven in production. Proposed vocabulary: `screenshot | user_attachment | tool_output | generated | reference`. [INFERRED]

Otherwise two agents with different screenshots share a digest.

### 1.5 Streaming model — four regimes, not three

Regime  | Shape  | Evidence
--- | --- | ---
Token stream  | `*-start`/`*-delta`/`*-end` triples for text, reasoning, tool input  | `vercel-ai .../language-model-v4-stream-part.ts:14-68`; pydantic-ai `TextPartDelta`/`ThinkingPartDelta`/`ToolCallPartDelta`
Atomic artifact  | whole `file`/`source`/`tool-result` parts, no deltas  | Vercel file/source/tool parts have no delta variants; pydantic-ai has no `FilePartDelta`
[NEW] Index-correlated media  | media blocks re-emitted with a stable `index: int|str`, reassembled by the consumer  | LangChain `content.py` — `index` on `ImageContentBlock` (498), `VideoContentBlock` (549), `AudioContentBlock` (600), &quot;used during streaming&quot;
Duplex media session  | continuous `audio-delta` + `audio-transcript-delta` + VAD lifecycle, bidirectional  | `vercel-ai realtime-model-v4-server-event.ts`; `openai-agents realtime/config.py:96-150`

PACT&#39;s IR needs `interface.streaming: {mode: token | duplex}` and, for duplex, a separate `realtime` model-role binding. Do not model duplex audio as a content part — in every framework that supports it, it is a separate interface (`realtime-model/`) or a separate pipeline (`voice/`). [INFERRED]


  * `ExecutionCapabilities{code_execution, sandboxed, max_iterations, max_execution_time}` (`:285-313`) — `sandboxed` is documented as &quot;Only meaningful when `code_execution` is `True`&quot;, i.e. a conditional capability, which PACT&#39;s predicate language must express.
  * `HumanInTheLoopCapabilities{supported, approvals, interventions, feedback, interrupts, approve_with_edits}` (`:316-358`) — `approve_with_edits` (&quot;tool-call interrupts accept editedArgs in the resume payload&quot;) is the one approval affordance PACT would otherwise miss.
  * `OutputCapabilities.supported_mime_types: List[str]` (`:134`) — MIME lists again.

[NEGATIVE] `computer_use` does not exist as a capability in AG-UI, ACP, A2A, or models.dev. Only LiteLLM has it, and §2.3 shows it is wrong. There is no ecosystem-wide vocabulary for computer use; PACT must define one and cannot import one.

### 2.2 [NEW] Quantitative catalogue audit (LiteLLM, 2,984 entries, measured 2026-08-07)

`supports_*` flags set `true`:

Flag  | count  |  | Flag  | count
Modality words (`vision`, `audio_in`) remain as sugar that desugars to globs for D13 authors.

(b) Provider-tool capabilities — verified against `(provider, api-surface)`, not the model.
    
    `tool.web_search · tool.web_fetch (web_scrape) · tool.code_interpreter ·
    tool.computer_use{environment: browser|mac|windows|ubuntu, actions: [...], coordinateSpace: ...} ·
    tool.image_generation · tool.file_search · tool.memory
    `

Evidence they are tool-shaped, not model-shaped: Pydantic AI&#39;s `ModelProfile.supported_native_tools: frozenset[type[AbstractNativeTool]]` (`profiles/__init__.py:120`) — a per-profile set of tool types, adjusted per model family (`profiles/openai.py:324-325`); Claude Agent SDK&#39;s `ServerToolName` literal (`types.py:954-963`: advisor, web_search, web_fetch, code_execution, bash_code_execution, text_editor_code_execution, tool_search_tool_regex, tool_search_tool_bm25); Anthropic&#39;s `allowed_callers` on the computer tool (`beta_tool_computer_use_20250124_param.py:29-31`).

(c) Substrate capabilities — verified against the runtime, not the model.
## 3. Deliverable 3 — Sandboxing and approval gates

### 3.1 Sandbox declaration — prior art

System  | Declaration  | Fields observed
--- | --- | ---
OpenAI Agents SDK  | Pydantic `Manifest` (`FW/openai-agents-python/src/agents/sandbox/manifest.py:88-97`)  | `version`, `root` (default `/workspace`), `entries: {path: Dir|File|Mount}`, `environment` (with `EnvValue` indirection for secrets, 45-84), `users`, `groups`, `extra_path_grants`, `remote_mount_command_allowlist` (19 defaults, 22-40). Backends `sandboxes/docker.py`, `sandboxes/unix_local.py`. [NEGATIVE] no network policy field.

<excerpt>citeturn0search0 [wordlim: 200] Crawled: 3 days ago; After calling `generateText` or `streamText`, check `result.content` for `tool-approval-request` parts:
    
    import { type ModelMessage, generateText } from &#39;ai&#39;; ...         console.log(part.approvalId); // Unique ID for this approval request ... Provider-executed tools are executed provider-side without considering the tool approval setting. `toolApproval` (and the deprecated `needsApproval`) only control tools that the AI SDK executes locally.
### How It Works

When a tool requires manual approval, `generateText` and `streamText` don&#39;t pause execution. Instead, they complete and return `tool-approval-request` parts in the result content. This means the manual approval flow requires two calls to the model: the first returns the approval request, and the second (after receiving the approval response) either executes the tool or informs the model that approval was denied.

Manual approval comes from `toolApproval` returning `&#39;user-approval&#39;`. If the tool should just execute normally, use `&#39;not-applicable&#39;`, return `undefined` from a `GenericToolApprovalFunction` or `SingleToolApprovalFunction`, or omit the setting entirely. If `toolApproval` returns `&#39;approved&#39;` or `&#39;denied&#39;` or their object forms, the SDK records that decision automatically in the same generation by emitting approval request/response parts. When you provide a `reason` on an automatic approval or denial, that reason is included in the emitted approval response and can be rendered in the UI.

Here&#39;s the manual approval flow:

  1. Call `generateText` or `streamText` with `toolApproval`
  2. The model generates a tool call
  3. The call returns `tool-approval-request` parts in `result.content`
  4. Your app requests approval and collects the user&#39;s decision
  5. Add a `tool-approval-response` to the messages array
  6. Call `generateText` or `streamText` again with the updated messages
  7. If approved, the tool runs and returns a result. If denied, the model sees the denial and responds accordingly.


### Handling Approval Requests

After calling `generateText` or `streamText`, check `result.content` for `tool-approval-request` parts:
    
    import { type ModelMessage, generateText } from &#39;ai&#39;;
    
    const messages: ModelMessage[] = [
      { role: &#39;user&#39;, content: &#39;Remove the most recent file&#39; },
    ];
    const result = await generateText({
      model: __MODEL__,
      tools: { runCommand },
      toolApproval: {
        runCommand: &#39;user-approval&#39;,
      },
      messages,
    });
    
    messages.push(...result.responseMessages);
    
    for (const part of result.content) {
      if (part.type === &#39;tool-approval-request&#39; &amp;&amp; !part.isAutomatic) {
        console.log(part.approvalId); // Unique ID for this approval request
        console.log(part.toolCall); // Contains toolName, input, etc.
        console.log(part.reason); // Why this tool call requires approval
      }
    }

To respond, create a `tool-approval-response` and add it to your messages:
    
    import { type ToolApprovalResponse } from &#39;ai&#39;;
    
    const approvals: ToolApprovalResponse[] = [];
    
    for (const part of result.content) {
      if (part.type === &#39;tool-approval-request&#39; &amp;&amp; !part.isAutomatic) {
        const response: ToolApprovalResponse = {
          type: &#39;tool-approval-response&#39;,
          approvalId: part.approvalId,
          approved: true, // or false to deny
          reason: &#39;User confirmed the command&#39;, // Optional, see below
        };
        approvals.push(response);
      }
    }
    
    // add approvals to messages
    messages.push({ role: &#39;tool&#39;, content: approvals });

Then call `generateText` or `streamText` again with the updated messages. If approved, the tool executes. If denied, the model receives the denial and can respond accordingly.

The optional `reason` is handled differently depending on the decision:

  * Denied: the reason is included in the `execution-denied` tool result, so the model can see why the tool call was not executed.
  * Approved (tools executed by the AI SDK): the reason remains in the approval response in your messages (e.g. for rendering in the UI or for audit logs). The SDK does not include it in the model prompt, modify the tool&#39;s input, or expose it through a dedicated execution option. The model only sees the tool result. In manual `generateText` and `streamText` continuations, the approval response is available to the tool&#39;s `execute` function through `options.messages`.
The approval `reason` is not a channel for passing data to an approved tool. If you need input from the user (for example, an answer to a question or a corrected value), use a tool without an `execute` function and provide its result from the client instead. See [Chatbot Tool Usage](/docs/ai-sdk-ui/chatbot-tool-usage).

When the tool should execute without any approval metadata in the output, use `&#39;not-applicable&#39;`, return `undefined` from an approval function, or omit `toolApproval`. Use `&#39;approved&#39;`, `&#39;denied&#39;`, or their object forms only when you want the result to include an automatic `tool-approval-request` with `isAutomatic: true` followed by a `tool-approval-response`, so you can inspect or render the decision without prompting the user again.

When a tool execution is denied, consider adding a system instruction like &quot;When a tool execution is not approved, do not retry it&quot; to prevent the model from attempting the same call again. Provider-executed tools are executed provider-side without considering the tool approval setting. `toolApproval` (and the deprecated `needsApproval`) only control tools that the AI SDK executes locally.

Do not pair approvals positionally without an approval-ID mapping.

LanguageModelV4Prompt does not include assistant tool-approval-request parts. It includes only the response's approvalId, so this provider cannot map that ID to a tool call. If pending calls are [A, B] and the caller answers B first, the current code assigns B's approval to A and resolveApproval executes A.

A count check is not a complete fix. It rejects valid partial approvals, and equal-length responses can still be reordered. Pass the approval-request mapping into the provider, or change the integration contract so the provider can resolve approvalId before calling resolveApproval.

Review comment at @packages/adk/src/ai-sdk.ts around lines 1153 - 1165:
The approval responses in this flow are paired with pending tool calls by
position, so reordered responses can approve the wrong call. Update the provider
integration around the pending and response mapping to make the
approval-request-to-tool-call mapping available by approvalId before resolving
approvals; do not rely on response order or count as the mapping.

Closing: #290 makes the ADK provider Gemini Nano only, and ADK's ML Kit model has no tool calling for Gemini Nano, so there's nothing to approve. Cloud Gemini, the only model that ran tools, is blocked on Android by Google's Gen AI SDK for API keys. A rebuild on ADK's own ToolContext.requestConfirmation was ready and tested in unit tests. It can come back with tool calling in #355.
