(OpenAI-compatible providers) ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): SDK validates stream/response shape and raises ModelBehaviorError rather than silently producing an empty turn; for empty choices it appends the provider error field if present. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Derived from SDK source code on main (2026-09-27); no issue thread read for this string. - Provider-specific root causes not confirmed by a maintainer here. Other error fragments: - ChatCompletion response has no choices (possible provider error payload) Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/main/src/agents/models/chatcmpl_stream_handler.py (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): Stream handler raises this ModelBehaviorError when a choice finishes with tool_calls but no buffered or passthrough tool calls were seen. - https://github.com/openai/openai-agents-python/blob/main/src/agents/models/openai_chatcompletions.py (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): Non-streaming path raises "ChatCompletion response has no choices (possible provider error payload)" with the provider error appended when response.choices is empty.
