Cause (Documented platform behavior): AwareDatetime requires tzinfo (error type timezone_aware); NaiveDatetime forbids it (timezone_naive). Plain datetime fields accept both, which lets naive values leak into comparisons elsewhere.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- Input should not have timezone info
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- ValidationError on a datetime field although the string parses as a date/time.
- Context
- Product: pydantic v2 / pydantic-core Component: AwareDatetime / NaiveDatetime validation Operation: Validating tool-call arguments or API responses with datetime strings lacking or carrying an offset Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: pydantic.ValidationError Packages: pydantic v2 (checked docs main, pydantic-core main) Trigger: LLM-generated arguments like '2025-03-01T10:00:00' (no offset) into AwareDatetime, or '...Z' into NaiveDatetime.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [pydantic v2] 'Input should have timezone info' (timezone_aware) / 'Input should not have timezone info' (timezone_naive) on AwareDatetime/NaiveDatetime fields fed by LLM tool arguments
Recommended action: Tell the model the required format in the tool schema description (RFC 3339 with offset), keep AwareDatetime at the boundary, and return the validation error to the model for self-correction instead of silently assuming UTC.
