Recommended action: Upgrade langchain-anthropic (current bind_tools drops forced tool_choice when thinking is on and warns); for ChatAnthropicVertex or older versions, use a native/provider structured-output strategy (json_schema) instead of tool strategy, or disable thinking for the structured-output call.
Option: Upgrade langchain-anthropic so forced tool_choice is dropped under thinking [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: ChatAnthropic (not ChatAnthropicVertex)
Steps:
1. pip install -U langchain-anthropic
2. Expect a UserWarning that tool_choice was dropped
Expected: No 400; structured output relies on the model choosing the tool
Option: Disable thinking for the structured-output call or use a json_schema/provider strategy [evidence: documented_workaround]
Applies when: All versions, including ChatAnthropicVertex
Steps:
1. Use a separate model instance without thinking for the final structured step
2. Or with_structured_output(..., method='json_schema')
Expected: No forced tool_choice with thinking
