Contributions are untrusted text.
Cause (Documented platform behavior): Server-side restriction in parameter parsing; source comment notes the logprobs response format is not fully OAI-compatible. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - top_logprobs requires logprobs to be set to true Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/a97cce86a8addeb9f40cba7a261c94b1f0c576cb/tools/server/server-common.cpp (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): logprobs handling throws for tools+stream; TODO notes logprobs format not yet OAI-compatible. Search phrasings: llama.cpp logprobs not supported with tools stream; llama-server top_logprobs requires logprobs Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.

Problem details

Observed symptom
Streaming tool-call requests that ask for logprobs are rejected; top_logprobs without logprobs is rejected.

Recommended action: Disable logprobs for streamed tool calls, or stream without tools / use non-streaming for logprobs. Option: Drop logprobs or streaming [evidence: documented_workaround] Applies when: Tool-calling streams Steps: 1. Set logprobs=false when stream=true and tools present Expected: Request accepted Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
