From f32e45338f9cec8a6c6f7f4a0bb12d01dab34bc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: palios-taey Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2025 20:13:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Add OpenAI-compliant server-side tool calling support Implements complete server-side parsing and formatting of tool calls to match OpenAI API specification. Fixes #293. Changes: - Add parse_tool_calls() function to parse XML tags from model output - Modify generate_completion() to detect and format tool calls in responses - Return proper tool_calls array with OpenAI-compliant structure - Set finish_reason to "tool_calls" when tools are invoked - Support both streaming and non-streaming responses - Handle parallel tool calling (multiple tools in one response) - Generate unique call IDs server-side (call_) - Ensure arguments field is always a JSON string (not object) Implementation details: - Reuses existing XML tag pattern from examples/function_calling.py - Minimal changes to chatgpt_api.py (focused on response generation) - Backwards compatible (no changes when tools not provided) - Works with all existing tokenizer chat templates that support tools Testing: - Added comprehensive unit tests in test_parse_simple.py - All 5 tests pass (single/parallel/no tools/dict conversion/OpenAI format) - Added new example: examples/function_calling_openai_compliant.py This implementation is cleaner and more focused than the stalled PR #771 (59 commits, 35 files). We achieve the same functionality with minimal changes to core API logic. --- examples/function_calling_openai_compliant.py | 251 ++++++++++++++++++ exo/api/chatgpt_api.py | 90 ++++++- test_parse_simple.py | 248 +++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 585 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 examples/function_calling_openai_compliant.py create mode 100644 test_parse_simple.py diff --git a/examples/function_calling_openai_compliant.py b/examples/function_calling_openai_compliant.py new file mode 100644 index 000000000..27effb403 --- /dev/null +++ b/examples/function_calling_openai_compliant.py @@ -0,0 +1,251 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env python3 +""" +OpenAI-Compliant Function Calling Example for EXO + +This example demonstrates the server-side tool calling implementation +that returns OpenAI-compliant responses with tool_calls arrays. + +The server now: +1.
