Note

Medium Risk
Changes core LLM streaming/tool-call return paths for OpenAI Responses API; incorrect terminal-event handling could break agents using streamed tools or mask API failures.

Overview
Fixes streamed OpenAI Responses API tool calling so behavior matches the non-streaming path: when available_functions is not provided, completed streams now return function-call payloads to the executor and emit a TOOL_CALL completion event.

Sync and async streaming handlers also treat response.failed and response.incomplete as terminal events (usage/final response still captured), only update auto-chain state on response.completed, and add guards: RuntimeError if tool calls appear without a completed terminal event, RuntimeError with provider error text when status is failed, while incomplete text streams still return partial output. Regression tests use fake stream events (no network).

Review summary

Reviewed the two changed files: the sync and async streaming Responses handlers in lib/crewai/src/crewai/llms/providers/openai/completion.py and the accompanying regression tests. The change adds a branch that returns streamed tool calls to the executor and emits a TOOL_CALL completion event when available_functions is not provided, mirroring existing non-streaming behavior. The added code only dispatches a pre-existing completion event and returns LLM-generated tool call data; it introduces no new user-input handling, dangerous sinks, credential handling, or auth/authorization changes. No security issues were identified in the changed code.

Updated for f70b20d.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The synchronous and asynchronous OpenAI Responses streaming handlers now recognize completed, failed, and incomplete terminal events. Failed responses raise RuntimeError. Incomplete responses can return partial text. When completion is confirmed and available_functions is absent, handlers return collected function calls and emit a tool-call completion event.

Changes

OpenAI Responses streaming tool calls

Layer / File(s) Summary
Capture and validate terminal responses
lib/crewai/src/crewai/llms/providers/openai/completion.py, lib/crewai/tests/llms/openai/test_responses_streaming_tool_calls.py
Both handlers retain terminal responses and check for failed status before processing outputs. Tests cover failed streams, incomplete streams that return partial text, and streams without a completion event.
Return collected tool calls
lib/crewai/src/crewai/llms/providers/openai/completion.py, lib/crewai/tests/llms/openai/test_responses_streaming_tool_calls.py
When completion is confirmed and available_functions is absent, both handlers emit a tool-call completion event and return collected function calls. Tests check returned calls and completion metadata.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 12498

Streamed Responses function calls are now returned to the executor only after the response completes successfully. Failed or unterminated streams raise an error, and incomplete streams return only their partial text. The earlier concern is addressed and no merge-blocking risk is visible.

🌐 Web query:

OpenAI Responses API official streaming events response.completed response.failed response.incomplete terminal events

💡 Result:

Yes. In the Responses API stream, **`response.completed`**, **`response.failed`**, and **`response.incomplete`** are distinct terminal events:

- **`response.completed`**: the response finished successfully.
- **`response.failed`**: the response failed.
- **`response.incomplete`**: the response ended without completing; inspect `response.incomplete_details` for the reason.

Treat only `response.completed` as successful completion. The official OpenAI Node SDK’s streaming guide explicitly treats `response.failed` and `response.incomplete` as errors, not as a successful result or a signal to resume. ([github.com](https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/main/docs/streaming.md?utm_source=openai))

The current official Node SDK source also defines separate event types for failed and incomplete responses. ([github.com](https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/main/src/resources/responses/responses.ts?utm_source=openai))

Citations:

- 1: https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/main/docs/streaming.md?utm_source=openai
- 2: https://github.com/openai/openai-node/blob/main/src/resources/responses/responses.ts?utm_source=openai

Return function calls only after response.completed.

Both handlers collect calls at response.output_item.done, but they ignore response.failed and response.incomplete. If either terminal event follows a collected call, the handlers emit TOOL_CALL and return calls from a response that did not complete. Track successful completion and handle unsuccessful terminal events before returning calls.

Apply this to both completion.py:1500 and completion.py:1650.

Addressed the CodeRabbit finding in fef1fdb1: both sync and async streaming Responses handlers now record failed/incomplete terminal events and raise before emitting TOOL_CALL or returning collected calls. Added sync and async regressions for failed terminal events. Local focused tests now pass: 4 passed, plus ruff, py_compile, and diff-check.

Follow-up pushed in 0cfab060: the streaming Responses handlers now only return collected tool calls after a successful response.completed terminal event, and fail closed for response.failed, response.incomplete, or streams that end after tool-call chunks without response.completed. Added sync and async regressions for both failed terminal events and missing completed terminal events. Local validation: 6 passed, ruff, py_compile, and diff-check.

Follow-up pushed in 30f035f0: adjusted the streaming Responses terminal handling so response.failed raises, response.incomplete can still return partial text output, and collected tool calls are only returned after response.completed. Added sync and async regressions for missing completed terminal events and incomplete partial-text streams. Local validation: 8 passed, ruff, py_compile, and diff-check.
