Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Singular form of the message is "Tool result is missing for tool call ."; assembled from template, not verified verbatim. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/5d12eaa6caa193d3901cbab98a734403eb6bf622/content/docs/09-troubleshooting/21-missing-tool-results-error.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Troubleshooting page: AI_MissingToolResultsError occurs when sending a new message while previous tool calls lack a tool-result or tool-approval-response; fix by providing results for every tool call. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/5d12eaa6caa193d3901cbab98a734403eb6bf622/packages/ai/src/prompt/convert-to-language-model-prompt.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Tracks tool-call ids, removes those with tool-results or approvals, and throws MissingToolResultsError at the next user/system message or end of prompt.
