fix: allow agents to continue with sequential tool calls #842
Conversation
After executing tool calls, the agent now continues the iteration loop instead of immediately trying to get a final response. This allows the LLM to decide if more tools are needed to complete the task. Fixes issue where agents would return empty responses after the first tool call instead of continuing with additional required tool calls. Resolves #839 Co-authored-by: Mervin Praison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com>
Add test scripts to verify the fix for issue #839 works correctly with both Gemini and GPT-4 models. Co-authored-by: Mervin Praison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com>
WalkthroughThe update refactors the agent's response logic to ensure reasoning content from tool executions is preserved and displayed after sequential tool calls. Both synchronous and asynchronous response methods are modified to store and manage reasoning content, continuing the iteration loop as needed. Comprehensive tests for sequential tool calling are added. Changes

Summary of Changes
Hello @MervinPraison, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request addresses a critical bug where AI agents would fail to perform multi-step reasoning involving sequential tool calls, often returning an empty or incomplete response after the first tool execution. The core change modifies the agent's internal loop to ensure it continues processing after a tool call, enabling the LLM to orchestrate multiple tool uses to achieve complex tasks. This significantly improves the agent's capability for more sophisticated problem-solving.
Highlights
- Agent Behavior Correction: The agent's internal loop has been modified to prevent premature termination after a tool call. Instead of immediately seeking a final response, the agent now continues its iteration, allowing the LLM to determine if further tool calls are necessary for task completion.
- Removal of Redundant Logic: Obsolete code paths responsible for generating a 'final response' immediately after a tool execution have been removed from the
get_responsemethod, streamlining the agent's decision-making process and enabling multi-step tool orchestration. - Enhanced Test Coverage: New test scripts (
test_fix.pyandtest_fix_comprehensive.py) have been added to thoroughly validate the agent's ability to perform sequential tool calls, including tests across different LLM providers like Gemini and GPT-4.

Code Review
This pull request introduces sequential tool calling, a significant enhancement. Review identified a critical issue in llm.py where the return statement in the Ollama-specific logic prevents the agent from looping and potentially calling more tools. A medium severity issue was also identified in test_fix.py where the docstring for the multiply function was incomplete.

After tool execution, the code should continue the loop to check if more tools are needed instead of immediately trying to get a final response. The current implementation bypasses this logic by using return which prematurely exits the loop. Consider removing the return statement and allowing the loop to continue to determine if more tools are required.

925-928: LGTM! This fix enables proper sequential tool calling.The addition of
iteration_count += 1andcontinueafter tool execution is the correct approach. This allows the agent to continue iterating and potentially call more tools before generating a final response, which addresses the issue where agents would return empty responses after the first tool call.test_fix_comprehensive.py (1)
1-75: Excellent comprehensive test implementation!This test provides thorough validation of the sequential tool calling fix:
- Clear documentation of expected behavior
- Testing with multiple models (Gemini and GPT-4)
- Tool call logging for debugging
- Proper result validation
- Good error checking for empty results
The test effectively validates that the fix in
llm.pyworks correctly across different models.

1-8: Excellent test documentation.The docstring clearly explains the expected sequential tool calling behavior and serves as both documentation and specification for the fix.
72-75: Good verification logic for the specific issue #839.The test correctly checks both for the expected result value and for empty responses, which directly addresses the reported issue where agents would return empty responses after tool calls.
src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_sequential_tool_calling.py (5)
22-41: Well-implemented mock tool with realistic data.The function provides a good mock implementation with realistic stock prices for different companies and proper fallback behavior.
76-104: Excellent test structure for sequential tool calling.This test properly verifies the core functionality of sequential tool calling with clear assertions and good error messages. The test directly addresses the main issue described in the PR.
203-281: Excellent mocking strategy for testing LLM behavior.This test demonstrates sophisticated understanding of how to test LLM-based agents by mocking the completion calls and verifying the interaction patterns. The test ensures multiple LLM calls are made, which validates the sequential tool calling behavior.
284-311: Perfect test for the specific issue #839.This test directly addresses the core problem reported in issue #839 where agents would return empty responses after tool calls. The assertions are comprehensive and cover all edge cases.
314-329: Good standalone execution pattern.The main block allows the tests to be run as a script, which aligns with the retrieved learning about running test files individually. This provides flexibility in test execution.

Ensure GPT-4 tests are skipped or mocked when no API key is set
The test_fix_comprehensive.py case will fail in environments where OPENAI_API_KEY is not configured (as confirmed by the verification script). Please update the test to either skip or mock GPT-4 invocations when the API key is missing.
Suggestions:
-
Add a module-level skip in
src/praisonai-agents/tests/test_fix_comprehensive.py:import os import pytest pytest.skip( "OPENAI_API_KEY not set — skipping GPT-4 tests", allow_module_level=True ) if not os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY") else None

Or mark the specific test with
@pytest.mark.skipif:import os import pytest @pytest.mark.skipif( not os.getenv("OPENAI_API_KEY"), reason="OpenAI API key not configured" ) def test_gpt4_agent_behaviour(...): ...
-
Alternatively, mock out the OpenAI client so tests don’t require a real key.

Guard Gemini test with API key check
The Gemini test will error out if GOOGLE_API_KEY isn’t set. Wrap or skip that section to make the script resilient:

– Before instantiating/running agent_gemini, add:

print("Skipping Gemini model test; GOOGLE_API_KEY not set")
else:
agent_gemini = Agent(
instructions=...,

)
result_gemini = agent_gemini.start(
"what is the stock price of Google? multiply the Google stock price with 2"

print(f"\nFinal Result (Gemini): {result_gemini}")Alternatively, catch the missing-key error:
- agent_gemini = Agent(...)
- result_gemini = agent_gemini.start(...)

+ result_gemini = agent_gemini.start(...)
+ print(f"\nFinal Result (Gemini): {result_gemini}")

the Gemini test will fail if the GOOGLE_API_KEY environment variable is not set.
To fix this, add a check before creating and running the agent_gemini instance:
import os and use an if statement to verify if os.getenv("GOOGLE_API_KEY") is
set. If not set, print a message indicating the test is skipped; otherwise,
proceed with instantiating agent_gemini and running the test. This prevents
errors in environments lacking the API key.

The unit test in src/praisonai/tests/unit/test_sequential_tool_calling.py instantiates two tasks but doesn’t wire them together, so there’s no guarantee that the “calculate” task runs after “get_price.” Please update the test to explicitly declare their dependency or pass them to the agent in sequence:
• In the test setup, link the tasks, for example:
price_task = Task(…)
calc_task = Task(…, depends_on=["get_price"])• Or invoke the agent with an ordered list and a sequential mode:
agent.start([price_task, calc_task], mode="sequential")This will ensure the calculation only runs once the price has been fetched.

and 181, the two tasks "get_price" and "calculate" are created but not linked,
so their execution order is not guaranteed. Fix this by explicitly setting the
dependency of the "calculate" task on "get_price" using the depends_on parameter
or by passing both tasks as an ordered list to the agent's start method with
mode set to "sequential" to enforce the correct execution sequence.

Bug: Async Reasoning Content Capture Issue
The async _acompletion method's reasoning_steps logic is inconsistent with its sync counterpart. The async version only captures initial reasoning content on the first iteration, while the sync version captures it on every iteration. This causes the async method to miss or lose reasoning content in subsequent iterations, particularly when sequential tool calls are involved.

Lines 1290 to 1291 in 6205a2e
Bug: Sync Method Skips Display, Causes Inconsistent Returns
The sync get_response method prematurely returns final_response_text after tool execution, bypassing verbose display and stored reasoning content. This creates an inconsistent final return value and behavior compared to the async version, which correctly processes and displays the response and reasoning before returning.

Bug: Async LLM Reasoning Inconsistency Post-Tool Execution
The async LLM completion logic handles reasoning_steps inconsistently after tool execution compared to the sync version. Reasoning content captured from tool execution responses is not reliably stored, leading to its loss. Additionally, the response (including reasoning) is prematurely displayed immediately after tool execution, rather than being stored for a single, final display after the tool execution loop, which can result in duplicate or confusing output.

…calls - Fixed 'NoneType object has no attribute strip' error when Ollama returns tool calls without text content - Added default empty string fallback when response content is None - Applied fix to both sync and async methods - Added test script to verify Ollama sequential tool calling works correctly Fixes the Ollama-specific issue mentioned in PR #842 Co-authored-by: Mervin Praison <MervinPraison@users.noreply.github.com>
Fixes #839
After executing tool calls, the agent now continues the iteration loop instead of immediately trying to get a final response. This allows the LLM to decide if more tools are needed to complete the task.
This resolves the issue where agents would return empty responses after the first tool call instead of continuing with additional required tool calls.
