Cause (Documented platform behavior): Converse exposes a wider StopReason enum than OpenAI/Anthropic mappings assume; unmapped values fall into catch-alls.
Fix status: documented_behavior

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Truncated tool calls are silently dropped, no max-tokens warning, overflow reported as normal stop, guardrail blocks treated as answers.
- Context
- Product: Amazon Bedrock Component: Converse/ConverseStream stopReason (messageStop) Operation: converse_stream → messageStop.stopReason handling in agent adapters Affected versions: unknown Environment: Agent frameworks' Bedrock adapters (goose v1.49.0, NemoClaw reported) HTTP status: 200 Trigger: Adapters that only handle end_turn/tool_use/max_tokens or never read messageStop.stopReason.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Amazon Bedrock Converse] stopReason has 9 values (guardrail_intervened, content_filtered, model_context_window_exceeded, malformed_model_output, malformed_tool_use, ...) — adapters that
Recommended action: Map all enum values explicitly: max_tokens and model_context_window_exceeded → length/truncated; guardrail_intervened and content_filtered → content_filter; malformed_model_output/malformed_tool_use → error with retry; read stopReason on both streaming (messageStop) and non-streaming paths.
Option: Exhaustive stopReason mapping [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. Use a dict covering all 9 values and log unknown future values instead of defaulting to stop.
Expected: Truncation/blocks surfaced correctly.
