Tool Input Lifecycle Hooks
Explore tool input lifecycle hooks: onInputStart, onInputDelta, and onInputAvailable. See how to track tool input generation in real-time during streaming.
Preliminary Tool Results
Return preliminary tool results using async iterables. Stream status updates during tool execution before the final result is available.
Tool Call Repair
Repair invalid tool calls using experimental_repairToolCall. Fix schema validation errors without requiring additional steps that pollute message history.
Dynamic Tool
Create dynamic tools with runtime-generated schemas using dynamicTool. Demonstrates unit conversion tools where schema adapts based on conversion type (temperature, length, weight, currency) and supports dynamic model selection.
