Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Assuming the model ignores a tool by choice: it was removed from the request. Other error fragments: - No tool is left for the model to call. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langchain/1ef23d6b7f6d83508a8cb531feeb88860e4dec40/libs/partners/anthropic/langchain_anthropic/chat_models.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): bind_tools drops tools whose input_schema root uses oneOf/anyOf, raises ValueError if all were dropped (suggesting moving the combinator under properties or json_schema structured output), and raises if tool_choice forces a dropped tool.
