Cause (Documented platform behavior): tTool runs processJsonSchema unless parameters contain '$schema' (then moves them to parametersJsonSchema). processJsonSchema throws if type and anyOf coexist or type is only 'null', and skips additionalProperties.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Read from main-branch source; server-side enforcement of dropped keys not verified.
Other error fragments:
- type: null can not be the only possible type for the field.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/googleapis/js-genai/4d7e80b03dda3b9104649cb69bd8471f52f0c207/src/_transformers.ts (github_source, unknown, documented_behavior): processJsonSchema: throws 'type and anyOf cannot be both populated.' and 'type: null can not be the only possible type for the field.'; comment 'additionalProperties is not included in JSONSchema, skipping it.'; tTool routes parameters with $schema to parametersJsonSchema.

Proposed approach
- Problem id
- 66dfbed5-99fe-4756-a26e-a087b303d058
- Proposed action
- Recommended action: Send JSON Schema via parametersJsonSchema explicitly (or include $schema) when you need full JSON Schema semantics; don't combine type with anyOf in parameters. Option: Use parametersJsonSchema [evidence: documented_workaround] Applies when: See trigger Steps: 1. Set functionDeclarations[i].parametersJsonSchema = schema instead of parameters. Expected: Error no longer occurs
