Send chat messages to LLM with optional tool definitions.
This method handles conversation-style interactions with the LLM,
including function calling/tool usage capabilities.
Args:
messages: List of message dictionaries. Each message should have:
- 'role': str - One of 'user', 'assistant', 'system', or 'tool'
- 'content': str - The message content
- 'tool_call_id': Optional[str] - For tool responses, the ID of the tool call
- 'name': Optional[str] - For tool messages, the tool name
tools: Optional list of tool definitions in OpenAI-compatible format.
Each tool should have 'type': 'function' and 'function' with:
- 'name': str - Tool name
- 'description': str - Tool description
- 'parameters': dict - JSON schema for parameters
tool_choice: How the model should handle tools:
- 'auto': Model decides whether to call tools
- 'none': Model must not call tools
- 'required': Model must call at least one tool
- Or a dict specifying a specific tool to call
enable_thinking: Per-request thinking toggle. None means use the
provider default. Ignored by providers without a per-request
toggle (see `supports_toggleable_thinking`).
Returns:
Dictionary with:
- 'content': Optional[str] - The text response from the LLM, None if tool calls
- 'reasoning': Optional[str] - The separated reasoning/thinking trace
if the model emitted one (e.g. via OpenAI-compatible
`reasoning_content`). None when the model does not surface a
trace or the provider does not parse it.
- 'tool_calls': Optional[List[Dict]] - List of tool calls if LLM wants to call tools.
Each tool call dict has:
- 'id': str - Unique identifier for this tool call
- 'name': str - Tool name to call
- 'arguments': dict - Arguments for the tool call (parsed JSON)
- 'finish_reason': str - Reason generation stopped:
- 'stop': Normal completion
- 'tool_calls': LLM wants to call tools
- 'length': Hit token limit
- 'error': An error occurred
Streaming counterpart `chat_with_tools_stream` yields
``(kind, value)`` tuples where ``kind`` is one of:
- 'content_delta': value is a string fragment of the answer
- 'reasoning_delta': value is a string fragment of the reasoning
trace (emitted before content for thinking models)
- 'stats': value is a usage stats dict
- 'message': value is the final dict shape described above
Raises:
NotImplementedError: If the provider doesn't implement this method.
