fix: Get builtin tool calling working in remote-vllm (#1236)
# What does this PR do?

This PR makes a couple of changes required to get the test
`tests/client-sdk/agents/test_agents.py::test_builtin_tool_web_search`
passing on the remote-vllm provider.

First, we adjust agent_instance to also pass in the description and
parameters of builtin tools. We need these parameters so we can pass the
tool's expected parameters into vLLM. The meta-reference implementations
may not have needed these for builtin tools, as they are able to take
advantage of the Llama-model specific support for certain builtin tools.
However, with vLLM, our server-side chat templates for tool calling
treat all tools the same and don't separate out Llama builtin vs custom
tools. So, we need to pass the full set of parameter definitions and
list of required parameters for builtin tools as well.

Next, we adjust the vllm streaming chat completion code to fix up some
edge cases where it was returning an extra ChatCompletionResponseEvent
with an empty ToolCall with empty string call_id, tool_name, and
arguments properties. This is a bug discovered after the above fix,
where after a successful tool invocation we were sending extra chunks
back to the client with these empty ToolCalls.

## Test Plan

With these changes, the following test that previously failed now
passes:

```
VLLM_URL="http://localhost:8000/v1" \
INFERENCE_MODEL="meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct" \
LLAMA_STACK_CONFIG=remote-vllm \
python -m pytest -v \
tests/client-sdk/agents/test_agents.py::test_builtin_tool_web_search \
--inference-model "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct"
```

Additionally, I ran the remote-vllm client-sdk and provider inference
tests as below to ensure they all still passed with this change:

```
VLLM_URL="http://localhost:8000/v1" \
INFERENCE_MODEL="meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct" \
LLAMA_STACK_CONFIG=remote-vllm \
python -m pytest -v \
tests/client-sdk/inference/test_text_inference.py \
--inference-model "meta-llama/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct"
```

```
VLLM_URL="http://localhost:8000/v1" \
python -m pytest -s -v \
llama_stack/providers/tests/inference/test_text_inference.py \
--providers "inference=vllm_remote"
```

Llama Stack

PyPI version PyPI - Downloads License Discord

Quick Start | Documentation | Colab Notebook

Llama Stack standardizes the core building blocks that simplify AI application development. It codifies best practices across the Llama ecosystem. More specifically, it provides

  • Unified API layer for Inference, RAG, Agents, Tools, Safety, Evals, and Telemetry.
  • Plugin architecture to support the rich ecosystem of different API implementations in various environments, including local development, on-premises, cloud, and mobile.
  • Prepackaged verified distributions which offer a one-stop solution for developers to get started quickly and reliably in any environment.
  • Multiple developer interfaces like CLI and SDKs for Python, Typescript, iOS, and Android.
  • Standalone applications as examples for how to build production-grade AI applications with Llama Stack.
Llama Stack

Llama Stack Benefits

  • Flexible Options: Developers can choose their preferred infrastructure without changing APIs and enjoy flexible deployment choices.
  • Consistent Experience: With its unified APIs, Llama Stack makes it easier to build, test, and deploy AI applications with consistent application behavior.
  • Robust Ecosystem: Llama Stack is already integrated with distribution partners (cloud providers, hardware vendors, and AI-focused companies) that offer tailored infrastructure, software, and services for deploying Llama models.

By reducing friction and complexity, Llama Stack empowers developers to focus on what they do best: building transformative generative AI applications.

API Providers

Here is a list of the various API providers and available distributions that can help developers get started easily with Llama Stack.

API Provider Builder Environments Agents Inference Memory Safety Telemetry

Distributions

A Llama Stack Distribution (or "distro") is a pre-configured bundle of provider implementations for each API component. Distributions make it easy to get started with a specific deployment scenario - you can begin with a local development setup (eg. ollama) and seamlessly transition to production (eg. Fireworks) without changing your application code. Here are some of the distributions we support:
