Implement Phase 1 of MCP auth migration:
- Add authorization parameter to list_runtime_tools() and invoke_tool()
- Maintain backward compatibility with X-LlamaStack-Provider-Data header
- Tests use old header-based auth to avoid client SDK dependency
- New parameter takes precedence when both methods provided
Phase 2 will migrate tests to new parameter after Stainless SDK release.
Related: PR #4052
Fixed bug where models with No provider_model_id were incorrectly
filtered from the startup config display. The function was checking
multiple fields when it should only filter items with explicitly
disabled provider_id.
Changes:
o Modified remove_disabled_providers to only check provider_id field o
Changed condition from checking multiple fields with None to only
checking provider_id for "__disabled__", None or empty string
o Added comprehensive unit tests
Closes: #4131

We would like to run all OpenAI compatibility tests using only the
openai-client library. This is most friendly for contributors since they
can run tests without needing to update the client-sdks (which is
getting easier but still a long pole.)
This is the first step in enabling that -- no using "library client" for
any of the Responses tests. This seems like a reasonable trade-off since
the usage of an embeddeble library client for Responses (or any
OpenAI-compatible) behavior seems to be not very common. To do this, we
needed to enable MCP tests (which only worked in library client mode)
for server mode.
The authorization parameter should only be on invoke_tool(), not on
list_runtime_tools(). Tool listing typically doesn't require authentication,
and the client SDK doesn't have this parameter yet.
Changes:
1. Removed authorization parameter from ToolRuntime.list_runtime_tools() protocol method
2. Updated all implementations to remove the authorization parameter:
- MCPProviderImpl.list_runtime_tools()
- ToolRuntimeRouter.list_runtime_tools()
- ToolGroupsRoutingTable.list_tools() and _index_tools()
3. Updated test to remove authorization from list_tools() call
This ensures compatibility with the llama-stack-client SDK which doesn't
support authorization on list_tools() yet. Only invoke_tool() requires
and accepts the authorization parameter for authenticated tool execution.
Fixed syntax errors in test files that were introduced by batch sed replacement:
- test_tools_with_schemas.py: Removed leftover broken comments and closing brace
- test_mcp_json_schema.py: Removed all instances of broken comment blocks
The sed command left remnants that broke Python syntax.
- Add authorization parameter to Tool Runtime API signatures (list_runtime_tools, invoke_tool)
- Update MCP provider implementation to use authorization from request body instead of provider-data
- Deprecate mcp_authorization and mcp_headers from provider-data (MCPProviderDataValidator now empty)
- Update all Tool Runtime tests to pass authorization as request body parameter
- Responses API already uses request body authorization (no changes needed)
This provides a single, consistent way to pass MCP authentication tokens across both APIs, addressing reviewer feedback about avoiding multiple configuration paths.
A few changes to the storage layer to ensure we reduce unnecessary
contention arising out of our design choices (and letting the database
layer do its correct thing):
- SQL stores now share a single `SqlAlchemySqlStoreImpl` per backend,
and `kvstore_impl` caches instances per `(backend, namespace)`. This
avoids spawning multiple SQLite connections for the same file, reducing
lock contention and aligning the cache story for all backends.
- Added an async upsert API (with SQLite/Postgres dialect inserts) and
routed it through `AuthorizedSqlStore`, then switched conversations and
responses to call it. Using native `ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE` eliminates
the insert-then-update retry window that previously caused long WAL lock
retries.
### Test Plan
Existing tests, added a unit test for `upsert()`
Fixes issues in the storage system by guaranteeing immediate durability
for responses and ensuring background writers stay alive. Three related
fixes:
* Responses to the OpenAI-compatible API now write directly to
Postgres/SQLite inside the request instead of detouring through an async
queue that might never drain; this restores the expected
read-after-write behavior and removes the "response not found" races
reported by users.
* The access-control shim was stamping owner_principal/access_attributes
as SQL NULL, which Postgres interprets as non-public rows; fixing it to
use the empty-string/JSON-null pattern means conversations and responses
stored without an authenticated user stay queryable (matching SQLite).
* The inference-store queue remains for batching, but its worker tasks
now start lazily on the live event loop so server startup doesn't cancel
them—writes keep flowing even when the stack is launched via llama stack
run.
Closes#4115
### Test Plan
Added a matrix entry to test our "base" suite against Postgres as the
store.
Help users find the comprehensive integration testing docs by linking to
the record-replay documentation. This clarifies that the technical
README complements the main docs.
# What does this PR do?
- Updates `/vector_stores/{vector_store_id}/files/{file_id}/content` to
allow returning `embeddings` and `metadata` using the `extra_query`
- Updates the UI accordingly to display them.
- Update UI to support CRUD operations in the Vector Stores section and
adds a new modal exposing the functionality.
- Updates Vector Store update to fail if a user tries to update Provider
ID (which doesn't make sense to allow)

# What does this PR do?
Delete ~2,000 lines of dead code from the old bespoke inference API that
was replaced by OpenAI-only API. This includes removing unused type
conversion functions, dead provider methods, and event_logger.py.
Clean up imports across the codebase to remove references to deleted
types. This eliminates unnecessary
code and dependencies, helping isolate the API package as a
self-contained module.
This is the last interdependency between the .api package and "exterior"
packages, meaning that now every other package in llama stack imports
the API, not the other way around.
## Test Plan
this is a structural change, no tests needed.

# Problem
Responses API uses max_tool_calls parameter to limit the number of tool
calls that can be generated in a response. Currently, LLS implementation
of the Responses API does not support this parameter.
# What does this PR do?
This pull request adds the max_tool_calls field to the response object
definition and updates the inline provider. it also ensures that:
- the total number of calls to built-in and mcp tools do not exceed
max_tool_calls
- an error is thrown if max_tool_calls < 1 (behavior seen with the
OpenAI Responses API, but we can change this if needed)
Closes #[3563](https://github.com/llamastack/llama-stack/issues/3563)
## Test Plan
- Tested manually for change in model response w.r.t supplied
max_tool_calls field.
- Added integration tests to test invalid max_tool_calls parameter.
- Added integration tests to check max_tool_calls parameter with
built-in and function tools.
- Added integration tests to check max_tool_calls parameter in the
returned response object.
- Recorded OpenAI Responses API behavior using a sample script:

# What does this PR do?
Adds OCI GenAI PaaS models for openai chat completion endpoints.
## Test Plan
In an OCI tenancy with access to GenAI PaaS, perform the following
steps:
1. Ensure you have IAM policies in place to use service (check docs
included in this PR)
2. For local development, [setup OCI
cli](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliinstall.htm)
and configure the CLI with your region, tenancy, and auth
[here](https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/API/SDKDocs/cliconfigure.htm)
3. Once configured, go through llama-stack setup and run llama-stack
(uses config based auth) like:
```bash
OCI_AUTH_TYPE=config_file \
OCI_CLI_PROFILE=CHICAGO \
OCI_REGION=us-chicago-1 \
OCI_COMPARTMENT_OCID=ocid1.compartment.oc1..aaaaaaaa5...5a \
llama stack run oci
```
4. Hit the `models` endpoint to list models after server is running:
```bash
curl http://localhost:8321/v1/models | jq
...
{
"identifier": "meta.llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct",
"provider_resource_id": "ocid1.generativeaimodel.oc1.us-chicago-1.am...q",
"provider_id": "oci",
"type": "model",
"metadata": {
"display_name": "meta.llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct",
"capabilities": [
"CHAT"
],
"oci_model_id": "ocid1.generativeaimodel.oc1.us-chicago-1.a...q"
},
"model_type": "llm"
},
...
```
5. Use the "display_name" field to use the model in a
`/chat/completions` request:
```bash
# Streaming result
curl -X POST http://localhost:8321/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "meta.llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct",
"stream": true,
"temperature": 0.9,
"messages": [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a funny comedian. You can be crass."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Tell me a funny joke about programming."
}
]
}'
# Non-streaming result
curl -X POST http://localhost:8321/v1/chat/completions -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
"model": "meta.llama-4-scout-17b-16e-instruct",
"stream": false,
"temperature": 0.9,
"messages": [
{
"role": "system",
"content": "You are a funny comedian. You can be crass."
},
{
"role": "user",
"content": "Tell me a funny joke about programming."
}
]
}'
```
6. Try out other models from the `/models` endpoint.
# What does this PR do?
This PR fixes a bug in LlamaStack 0.3.0 where vector stores created via
the OpenAI-compatible API (`POST /v1/vector_stores`) would fail with
`VectorStoreNotFoundError` after server restart when attempting
operations like `vector_io.insert()` or `vector_io.query()`.
The bug affected **6 vector IO providers**: `pgvector`, `sqlite_vec`,
`chroma`, `milvus`, `qdrant`, and `weaviate`.
Created with the assistance of: claude-4.5-sonnet
## Root Cause
All affected providers had a broken
`_get_and_cache_vector_store_index()` method that:
1. Did not load existing vector stores from persistent storage during
initialization
2. Attempted to use `vector_store_table` (which was either `None` or a
`KVStore` without the required `get_vector_store()` method)
3. Could not reload vector stores after server restart or cache miss
## Solution
This PR implements a consistent pattern across all 6 providers:
1. **Load vector stores during initialization** - Pre-populate the cache
from KV store on startup
2. **Fix lazy loading** - Modified `_get_and_cache_vector_store_index()`
to load directly from KV store instead of relying on
`vector_store_table`
3. **Remove broken dependency** - Eliminated reliance on the
`vector_store_table` pattern
## Testing steps
### 1.1 Configure the stack
Create or use an existing configuration with a vector IO provider.
**Example `run.yaml`:**
```yaml
vector_io_store:
- provider_id: pgvector
provider_type: remote::pgvector
config:
host: localhost
port: 5432
db: llamastack
user: llamastack
password: llamastack
inference:
- provider_id: sentence-transformers
provider_type: inline::sentence-transformers
config:
model: sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2
```
### 1.2 Start the server
```bash
llama stack run run.yaml --port 5000
```
Wait for the server to fully start. You should see:
```
INFO: Started server process
INFO: Application startup complete
```
---
## Step 2: Create a Vector Store
### 2.1 Create via API
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/v1/vector_stores \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"name": "test-persistence-store",
"extra_body": {
"embedding_model": "sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2",
"embedding_dimension": 384,
"provider_id": "pgvector"
}
}' | jq
```
### 2.2 Expected Response
```json
{
"id": "vs_a1b2c3d4-e5f6-4a7b-8c9d-0e1f2a3b4c5d",
"object": "vector_store",
"name": "test-persistence-store",
"status": "completed",
"created_at": 1730304000,
"file_counts": {
"total": 0,
"completed": 0,
"in_progress": 0,
"failed": 0,
"cancelled": 0
},
"usage_bytes": 0
}
```
**Save the `id` field** (e.g.,
`vs_a1b2c3d4-e5f6-4a7b-8c9d-0e1f2a3b4c5d`) — you’ll need it for the next
steps.
---
## Step 3: Insert Data (Before Restart)
### 3.1 Insert chunks into the vector store
```bash
export VS_ID="vs_a1b2c3d4-e5f6-4a7b-8c9d-0e1f2a3b4c5d"
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/vector-io/insert \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{
\"vector_store_id\": \"$VS_ID\",
\"chunks\": [
{
\"content\": \"Python is a high-level programming language known for its readability.\",
\"metadata\": {\"source\": \"doc1\", \"page\": 1}
},
{
\"content\": \"Machine learning enables computers to learn from data without explicit programming.\",
\"metadata\": {\"source\": \"doc2\", \"page\": 1}
},
{
\"content\": \"Neural networks are inspired by biological neurons in the brain.\",
\"metadata\": {\"source\": \"doc3\", \"page\": 1}
}
]
}"
```
### 3.2 Expected Response
Status: **200 OK**
Response: *Empty or success confirmation*
---
## Step 4: Query Data (Before Restart – Baseline)
### 4.1 Query the vector store
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/vector-io/query \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{
\"vector_store_id\": \"$VS_ID\",
\"query\": \"What is machine learning?\"
}" | jq
```
### 4.2 Expected Response
```json
{
"chunks": [
{
"content": "Machine learning enables computers to learn from data without explicit programming.",
"metadata": {"source": "doc2", "page": 1}
},
{
"content": "Neural networks are inspired by biological neurons in the brain.",
"metadata": {"source": "doc3", "page": 1}
}
],
"scores": [0.85, 0.72]
}
```
**Checkpoint:** Works correctly before restart.
---
## Step 5: Restart the Server (Critical Test)
### 5.1 Stop the server
In the terminal where it’s running:
```
Ctrl + C
```
Wait for:
```
Shutting down...
```
### 5.2 Restart the server
```bash
llama stack run run.yaml --port 5000
```
Wait for:
```
INFO: Started server process
INFO: Application startup complete
```
The vector store cache is now empty, but data should persist.
---
## Step 6: Verify Vector Store Exists (After Restart)
### 6.1 List vector stores
```bash
curl http://localhost:5000/v1/vector_stores | jq
```
### 6.2 Expected Response
```json
{
"object": "list",
"data": [
{
"id": "vs_a1b2c3d4-e5f6-4a7b-8c9d-0e1f2a3b4c5d",
"name": "test-persistence-store",
"status": "completed"
}
]
}
```
**Checkpoint:** Vector store should be listed.
---
## Step 7: Insert Data (After Restart – THE BUG TEST)
### 7.1 Insert new chunks
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/vector-io/insert \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{
\"vector_store_id\": \"$VS_ID\",
\"chunks\": [
{
\"content\": \"This chunk was inserted AFTER the server restart.\",
\"metadata\": {\"source\": \"post-restart\", \"test\": true}
}
]
}"
```
### 7.2 Expected Results
**With Fix (Correct):**
```
Status: 200 OK
Response: Success
```
**Without Fix (Bug):**
```json
{
"detail": "VectorStoreNotFoundError: Vector Store 'vs_a1b2c3d4-e5f6-4a7b-8c9d-0e1f2a3b4c5d' not found."
}
```
**Critical Test:** If insertion succeeds, the fix works.
---
## Step 8: Query Data (After Restart – Verification)
### 8.1 Query all data
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/vector-io/query \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{
\"vector_store_id\": \"$VS_ID\",
\"query\": \"restart\"
}" | jq
```
### 8.2 Expected Response
```json
{
"chunks": [
{
"content": "This chunk was inserted AFTER the server restart.",
"metadata": {"source": "post-restart", "test": true}
}
],
"scores": [0.95]
}
```
**Checkpoint:** Both old and new data are queryable.
---
## Step 9: Multiple Restart Test (Extra Verification)
### 9.1 Restart again
```bash
Ctrl + C
llama stack run run.yaml --port 5000
```
### 9.2 Query after restart
```bash
curl -X POST http://localhost:5000/vector-io/query \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d "{
\"vector_store_id\": \"$VS_ID\",
\"query\": \"programming\"
}" | jq
```
**Expected:** Works correctly across multiple restarts.

Fixed incorrect import in test_mcp_authentication.py:
- Changed: from llama_stack import LlamaStackAsLibraryClient
- To: from llama_stack.core.library_client import LlamaStackAsLibraryClient
This aligns with the correct import pattern used in other test files.
Updates integration tests to use the new mcp_authorization field
instead of the old method of passing Authorization in mcp_headers.
Changes:
- tests/integration/tool_runtime/test_mcp.py
- tests/integration/inference/test_tools_with_schemas.py
- tests/integration/tool_runtime/test_mcp_json_schema.py (6 occurrences)
All tests now use:
provider_data = {"mcp_authorization": {uri: AUTH_TOKEN}}
Instead of the old rejected format:
provider_data = {"mcp_headers": {uri: {"Authorization": f"Bearer {AUTH_TOKEN}"}}}
This aligns with the security architecture that prevents
accidentally leaking inference tokens to MCP servers.
# What does this PR do?
Resolves#4102
1. Added `web_search_2025_08_26` to the `WebSearchToolTypes` list and
the `OpenAIResponseInputToolWebSearch.type` Literal union
2. No changes needed to tool execution logic - all `web_search` types
map to the same underlying tool
3. Backward compatibility is maintained - existing `web_search`,
`web_search_preview`, and `web_search_preview_2025_03_11` types continue
to work
4. Added an integration test case using {"type":
"web_search_2025_08_26"} to verify it works correctly
5. Updated `docs/docs/providers/openai_responses_limitations.mdx` to
reflect that `web_search_2025_08_26` is now supported.
6. Removed incorrect references to `MOD1/MOD2/MOD3` (which don't exist
in the codebase)

This dependency has been bothering folks for a long time (cc @leseb). We
really needed it due to "library client" which is primarily used for our
tests and is not a part of the Stack server. Anyone who needs to use the
library client can certainly install `llama-stack-client` in their
environment to make that work.
Updated the notebook references to install `llama-stack-client`
additionally when setting things up.
https://github.com/llamastack/llama-stack/pull/4055 cleaned the agents
implementation but while doing so it removed some tests which actually
corresponded to the responses implementation. This PR brings those tests
and assocated recordings back.
(We should likely combine all responses tests into one suite, but that
is beyond the scope of this PR.)
o Introduces vLLM provider support to the record/replay testing
framework
o Enabling both recording and replay of vLLM API interactions alongside
existing Ollama support.
The changes enable testing of vLLM functionality. vLLM tests focus on
inference capabilities, while Ollama continues to exercise the full API
surface
including vision features.
--
This is an alternative to #3128 , using qwen3 instead of llama 3.2 1B
appears to be more capable at structure output and tool calls.

# What does this PR do?
- when create vector store is called without chunk strategy, we actually
the strategy used so that the value is persisted instead of
strategy='None'
## Test Plan
updated tests
# What does this PR do?
1. Make telemetry tests as easy as possible for users by expanding the
`SpanStub` data class and creating the `MetricStub` dataclass as a way
to consistently marshal telemetry data in test fixtures and unmarshal
and handle it in tests.
2. Structure server and client tests to always follow the same standards
for consistent testing experience by using the `SpanStub` and
`MetricStub` data class objects.
3. Enable Metrics Testing for completions endpoint
4. Correct token metrics to use histograms instead of counts to capture
tokens per request rather than a cumulative count of tokens over the
lifecycle of the server.
## Test Plan
These are tests
# What does this PR do?
Fixes issue #3922 where `llama stack list` only showed distributions
after they were run. This PR makes the command show all available
distributions immediately on a fresh install.
Closes#3922
## Changes
- **Updated `_get_distribution_dirs()`** to discover both built-in and
built distributions:
- Built-in distributions from `src/llama_stack/distributions/` (e.g.,
starter, nvidia, dell)
- Built distributions from `~/.llama/distributions`
- **Added a "Source" column** to distinguish between "built-in" and
"built" distributions
- **Built distributions override built-in ones** with the same name
(expected behavior)
- **Updated config file detection logic** to handle both naming
conventions:
- Built-in: `build.yaml` and `run.yaml`
- Built: `{name}-build.yaml` and `{name}-run.yaml`
## Test Plan
### Unit Tests
Added comprehensive unit tests in
`tests/unit/distribution/test_stack_list.py`:
```bash
uv run pytest tests/unit/distribution/test_stack_list.py -v
```
**Result**: ✅ All 8 tests pass
- `test_builtin_distros_shown_without_running` - Verifies the core fix
for issue #3922
- `test_builtin_and_built_distros_shown_together` - Ensures both types
are shown
- `test_built_distribution_overrides_builtin` - Tests override behavior
- `test_empty_distributions` - Edge case handling
- `test_config_files_detection_builtin` - Config file detection for
built-in distros
- `test_config_files_detection_built` - Config file detection for built
distros
- `test_llamastack_prefix_stripped` - Name normalization
- `test_hidden_directories_ignored` - Filters hidden directories
### Manual Testing
**Before the fix** (simulated with empty `~/.llama/distributions`):
```bash
$ llama stack list
No stacks found in ~/.llama/distributions
```
**After the fix**:
```bash
$ llama stack list
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━┓

**After running a distribution**:
```bash
$ llama stack run starter # Creates ~/.llama/distributions/starter
$ llama stack list
┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━┓
┃ Stack Name ┃ Source ┃ Path ┃ Build Config ┃ Run Config ┃

│ starter │ built │ ~/.llama/distri… │ No │ No │
│ ... │ built-in │ ... │ Yes │ Yes │
└───────────────────┴──────────┴───────────────────┴──────────────┴────────────┘
```
Note how `starter` now shows as "built" and points to
`~/.llama/distributions`, overriding the built-in version.
## Breaking Changes
**No breaking changes** - This is a bug fix that improves user
experience with minimal risk:
- No programmatic parsing of output found in the codebase
- Table format is clearly for human consumption
- The new "Source" column helps users understand where distributions
come from
- The behavior change is exactly what users expect (seeing all available
distributions)
