…nd trip Gemini returns a thoughtSignature on the part carrying a functionCall and Gemini 3 rejects the next turn with HTTP 400 when a replayed functionCall part has lost it. The signature was dropped converting the native response to OpenAI tool calls and never restored converting history back, so multi-step agent runs failed once a tool call reached the history. It now travels on the tool call as extra_content.google.thought_signature, the member Google's own OpenAI-compatible endpoint uses, through the buffered and streamed chat surfaces and the Responses API in both directions. A flat thought_signature is accepted on input too. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_011CneM5UC4k3TikAMgEvm8o

site:ai.google.dev Gemini API thought signatures parallel function calls signature first function call
💡 Result:
In the Gemini API, thought signatures are encrypted representations of the model's internal reasoning used to maintain context across multi-turn conversations [1][2]. When the model generates parallel function calls in a single turn, the thought signature is attached specifically to the first function call part [3]. Key requirements for handling parallel function calls and thought signatures include: 1. Signature Placement: The thought signature is only present on the first function call part [3]. Subsequent function call parts in the same response will not contain a signature [3]. 2. Context Preservation: You must return the entire original response—including all parts and their respective thought signatures—back to the model in subsequent turns [3][2]. If you omit a thought signature for the first function call part, the request will fail with a 400 error [3]. 3. Integrity: Do not merge parts containing signatures with those that do not, and do not combine multiple parts that both contain signatures, as these actions break the positional context of the thought process [1][2]. 4. Automation: Unless you are manually manipulating conversation history or using the REST API directly, the Google GenAI SDK automatically manages the inclusion and return of these signatures for you [1][2]. When handling parallel calls, you do not need to return function results in the same order they were generated, as the API maps results to their respective calls using the unique ID provided in the model's output [1][4]. [3][1][2]

Model parallel-call validation correctly.
unsignedFunctionCallPosition rejects every unsigned functionCall. Gemini requires a thought signature only on the first function call in a parallel model response. Later calls can be unsigned. The validator can therefore return a simulated 400 for valid replay data.
Reset the first-call flag for each content item and validate only the first function call.
Proposed fix
for _, content := range decodeGeminiRequest(t, body).Contents {
+ firstFunctionCall := true
for _, part := range content.Parts {
- if len(part.FunctionCall) > 0 && part.ThoughtSignature == "" {
- return position, false

+ if firstFunctionCall && part.ThoughtSignature == "" {

Google Gemini API function calling automatic mode optional tool use ANY mode forced function calling tool_choice required OpenAI compatible API
💡 Result:
The Gemini API provides flexible function calling capabilities that support automatic, manual, and forced modes, and offers OpenAI-compatible API endpoints [1][2][3]. Function Calling Modes The Gemini API uses a FunctionCallingConfig to control model behavior [1][2]: AUTO: The default mode. The model evaluates the prompt and context to decide whether to provide a natural language response or trigger a function call [1][2][4]. ANY: A forced mode. The model is constrained to always predict a function call [1][2]. If you specify allowed_function_names, the model is further restricted to selecting only from that list [1][4]. NONE: Explicitly disables function calling, causing the model to provide only natural language responses [2][4]. VALIDATED: An additional mode used when combining tools; it enforces schema adherence and constrains the model to predict either a function call or natural language [1][5]. Automatic Function Calling (Python SDK) When using the Google Generative AI Python SDK, "automatic function calling" refers to a convenience feature where the SDK automatically handles the execution cycle: it converts Python functions to declarations, executes the function when the model calls it, and returns the result back to the model [1][5]. This can be disabled if manual control over execution is required [1][5]. OpenAI Compatible API Gemini supports an OpenAI-compatible API, allowing you to use OpenAI client libraries to interact with Gemini models [3][6]. When using this compatibility layer, you can pass standard OpenAI-style parameters such as tools and tool_choice (e.g., "auto" or "required") [2][3][7]. This enables a largely drop-in experience for developers already using OpenAI's ecosystem to integrate Gemini [3][6].

Force S228's first turn to call get_weather.
S228 omits tool_choice, so geminiToolConfigFromOpenAI leaves toolConfig unset and Gemini can return text. The first assertion then fails before signature replay. tool_choice: "required" maps to Gemini ANY in native mode.

Confidence Score: 5/5Safe to merge: the affected Chat Completions and Responses API replay flows complete successfully with Gemini signature enforcement. No actionable issues were found. Focused end-to-end checks confirm that returned tool calls retain their signatures and that replay sends them back on the native Gemini function-call part. Files Needing Attention: None.

#894 has a better fix |
…#894) * fix(gemini): preserve thought signatures across tool-call round trips Gemini 3 attaches a thoughtSignature to every functionCall part and rejects a follow-up request whose history lacks it (HTTP 400). The native adapter dropped the signature in both directions. It is now exposed the way Google's OpenAI-compatible endpoint does (tool_calls[].extra_content.google.thought_signature, also on streamed deltas and Responses function_call items) and restored on the matching functionCall part when the client echoes the turn back. Unsigned calls on Gemini 3 get Google's skip_thought_signature_validator placeholder. * fix(gemini): accept flat signature spellings and harden replay paths Ports from #893: flat thought_signature/thoughtSignature input on the tool call or function object, extra_content-only passthrough onto Responses function_call items, a mock-upstream e2e test that enforces Gemini 3's rule, and the S228 parallel-safe entry.

Gemini returns a thoughtSignature on the part carrying a functionCall and
Gemini 3 rejects the next turn with HTTP 400 when a replayed functionCall part
has lost it. The signature was dropped converting the native response to
OpenAI tool calls and never restored converting history back, so multi-step
agent runs failed once a tool call reached the history.
It now travels on the tool call as extra_content.google.thought_signature, the
member Google's own OpenAI-compatible endpoint uses, through the buffered and
streamed chat surfaces and the Responses API in both directions. A flat
thought_signature is accepted on input too.
