VolcEngine's api/plan endpoint occasionally leaks raw XML attribute
fragments into tool_use.name when its protocol-translation layer
converts the model's native XML-style tool emission to Anthropic
Messages tool_use blocks, producing names like:
terminal" parameter="command" string="true
execute_code" parameter="code" string="true
session_search" parameter="session_id" string="true
The corruption happens server-side at the provider, but it breaks
every tool call for affected users — no normalization rule in
repair_tool_call can rescue them, so each request runs through three
retries and then aborts as partial.
Add an early sanitizer in agent_runtime_helpers.repair_tool_call that
trims at the first ' " ', " ' ", '<', or '>' character (idx > 0
only) so the rest of the existing repair pipeline (lowercase /
snake_case / fuzzy match) can resolve the cleaned name normally.
Whitespace is deliberately NOT a separator — the legitimate
"write file" -> write_file repair path (covered by
test_space_to_underscore) must keep working.
Tests: 11 new regression cases in TestVolcEngineXmlPollution
covering all three observed polluted names, CamelCase + pollution
mix, single-quote variants, angle-bracket variants, clean-name
passthrough, and the whitespace-preservation guard. All 18 pre-
existing repair tests still pass (29 total in the file).
Claude-style and some Anthropic-tuned models occasionally emit tool
names as class-like identifiers: TodoTool_tool, Patch_tool,
BrowserClick_tool, PatchTool. These failed strict-dict lookup in
valid_tool_names and triggered the 'Unknown tool' self-correction
loop, wasting a full turn of iteration and tokens.
_repair_tool_call already handled lowercase / separator / fuzzy
matches but couldn't bridge the CamelCase-to-snake_case gap or the
trailing '_tool' suffix that Claude sometimes tacks on. Extend it
with two bounded normalization passes:
1. CamelCase -> snake_case (via regex lookbehind).
2. Strip trailing _tool / -tool / tool suffix (case-insensitive,
applied twice so TodoTool_tool reduces all the way: strip
_tool -> TodoTool, snake -> todo_tool, strip 'tool' -> todo).
Cheap fast-paths (lowercase / separator-normalized) still run first
so the common case stays zero-cost. Fuzzy match remains the last
resort unchanged.
Tests: tests/run_agent/test_repair_tool_call_name.py covers the
three original reports (TodoTool_tool, Patch_tool, BrowserClick_tool),
plus PatchTool, WriteFileTool, ReadFile_tool, write-file_Tool,
patch-tool, and edge cases (empty, None, '_tool' alone, genuinely
unknown names).
18 new tests + 17 existing arg-repair tests = 35/35 pass.
