fix(server): render chat tools as sent on the single-server route - #814
Merged

Conversation
The single-server chat route proxies to the engine's OpenAI chat endpoint, which re-serialises each request tool through its own models before the chat template sees it: the function's keys move to model order, and "strict": false (plus "defer_loading": null on 0.5.20) are added. Templates that write tools with tojson or iterate their keys put those bytes in the prompt, so one tools turn rendered 11 tokens longer per tool than on the queued route, which renders the tools as the request carries them. The engine child now hands the template the request's tools as sent whenever it renders any, after checking each one validates to the tool the engine parsed. A named tool_choice renders every tool, as the queued worker does. The single-server route also folds developer messages to system, as the gateway does for the queued route.

SGLang 0.5.20 caches a multimodal model's chat render under a key that sorts every object's keys. With the request's tools rendered as sent, two requests whose tools or replayed tool-call arguments differ only in key order shared one prompt, so the second request rendered with the first's order. The chat tools hook now turns that cache off.

Problem
One chat request rendered to two different prompts depending on the route that served it.
toolsexactly as the client sent them./v1/chat/completionsto the SGLang child. SGLang parsestoolsinto its own pydantic models and passestool.model_dump()to the chat template. The dump lists each function's keys in model order (descriptionbeforename), adds"strict": false, and on SGLang 0.5.20 adds a tool-level"defer_loading": null. A function without a description gains"description": null.Every tool-capable template in the catalog serialises those dicts into the prompt. Here is the
get_weatherturn fromexamples/coding-agent-opencode/conformance.py, rendered with theQwen/Qwen3.8-27B-FP8template at the pinned revision017b9c7aandenable_thinking: false:The queued route renders 295 tokens and the single-server route renders 306. That is 11 extra tokens per tool on SGLang 0.5.20 (
sglang-cu130) and 5 on SGLang 0.5.10.post1 (sglang). The served model reads a different system prompt on each route, so greedy outputs differ.The sweep below rendered the pinned template of every catalog model with
tools: truethrough both paths. It used four requests: one tool, a tool without a description, a clientstrict: true, and a multi-turn tool exchange.tool | tojsonstrict,defer_loading,"description": nullglm47parser)strictanddefer_loadingdescriptionfirst),"description": nullnameanddescriptionby fieldNoneThe sweep found the same class in the message list. The queued route folds a
developermessage tosystemat the gateway, but the single-server route forwarded it unchanged. The Qwen3.5, 3.6 and 3.8 templates then raiseUnexpected message role., and the Qwen3 and GLM templates render a role the queued route never sends. The message dumps otherwise render identically.A named
tool_choicealso differed. SGLang renders only the named tool, while the queued worker renders every tool, as the template receives them from any directapply_chat_templatecall.The GPU check below found one more difference. SGLang 0.5.20 caches the render of a multimodal model's chat request (Qwen3.5, 3.6 and 3.8 and Gemma 4 are multimodal) under a key built with
orjson.OPT_SORT_KEYS. Two requests whose tools or replayed tool-call arguments differ only in key order therefore share one cached prompt, and the second request is rendered with the first request's key order.Change
adapters/sglang/_compat/sie_chat_tools.py, opted into by the generation adapter throughSIE_SGLANG_CHAT_TOOLS_AS_SENT=1like the existing child hooks. It wrapsOpenAIServingChat.handle_requestto read the request body'stools, and it wraps_apply_jinja_templateto hand the template those tools whenever SGLang would render any. Withtool_choice: "none"no tools are rendered, as before. The sent tools are used only when each one validates, through SGLang's own model, to the tool SGLang parsed at the same position. Any other body keeps SGLang's dump. Both pinned releases (0.5.10.post1, 0.5.20) have these two methods with these signatures._render_and_encode_chat_template(use_cache=False)). The method does not exist on 0.5.10.post1, where the hook leaves it out. A cache hit needs a byte-identical request, and an agent's transcript grows on every turn, so agent workloads lose almost no hits.openai_local._prepare_chat_bodyfoldsdevelopermessages tosystem, as the gateway, the worker and the local Responses route already do.No model YAML, gateway or worker change. The worker's rendering was already the one the model's own template produces from the request.
Tests
tests/adapters/test_sglang_chat_tools.pyrenders one request through both routes and asserts byte-identical prompts:/v1/chat/completionshandler with a mock child transport. The exact body sent to the child is then rendered by a stand-in for SGLang's chat serving path, carrying the pinned releases'FunctionandToolmodels and theirmodel_dump()tool selection, with the hook installed.StreamingProcessor.process. The prompt is captured at the adapter.The cases are six requests (one tool, a tool exchange,
strict, namedtool_choice,tool_choice: none, a developer message) × the three template families × both SGLang releases. The 0.5.20 stand-in also has the sorted-key render cache. A second test sends two requests that differ only in key order through one child and checks that each keeps its own prompt. Further tests cover the hook's fallback for a foreign body, thesitecustomizeinstall in a child interpreter, and the adapter's child environment.Mutation check: each of these mutations fails the suite.

BFCL simple (400) and multiple (200) on the single-server route ran at

The queued route still drops a replayed assistant
