Fix status: released_fix (fixed in @ai-sdk/openai-compatible 3.0.0 (late function.name), 3.0.23 (indexes), 3.0.32 (empty-string ids)) Limitations: - Error text from GitHub issue pages was read via the WebFetch summarizer, not verified verbatim from raw HTML. (opencode #25786, #24137) - Integer/non-string tool_call ids ('Expected 'id' to be a string.') are still rejected; the openai-compatible changelog lists fixes only for late function.name (3.0.0), indexes (3.0.23) and empty-string ids (3.0.32). Unknowns: - Whether integer ids are coerced in any released version is not shown in the changelog. Other error fragments: - Expected 'function.name' to be a string. - Expected 'function' type. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/5d12eaa6caa193d3901cbab98a734403eb6bf622/packages/provider-utils/src/streaming-tool-call-tracker.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): processNewToolCall throws InvalidResponseDataError when type is not function, id is null, or function.name is null. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vercel/ai/5d12eaa6caa193d3901cbab98a734403eb6bf622/packages/openai-compatible/CHANGELOG.md (changelog, unknown, released_fix): Changelog: ab81968 buffer tool call deltas until function.name arrives (3.0.0); 1bec07d fix non-zero/non-contiguous/reused/missing indexes (3.0.23); e6087c9 handle empty string tool call IDs (3.0.32). - https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/25786 (github_issue, 2026-05-05, reported_symptom): Report: nvidia/z-ai/glm-5.1 returns integer tool_call ids, causing Expected id to be a string; workaround was switching model. - https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/24137 (github_issue, 2026-04-24, reported_symptom): Report: provider sends id and arguments before function.name in a later chunk, triggering Expected function.name to be a string.
