feat(responses): scope custom tools by model - #7507
A mixed Responses gateway can accept native Responses custom tools for one model and reject them for another (for example, GPT-family models keep the apply_patch grammar tool while a Claude or DeepSeek wire returns a 400 on custom_tool_call history, as in #6877). Until now, supportsResponsesCustomTools existed only at provider level, and modelCapabilities rejected a per-model axis, so the operator had to pick one behavior for every model on the provider.
Adds modelCapabilities.<exactModelId>.responsesCustomTools (boolean). An absent model value inherits the provider's supportsResponsesCustomTools, and an absent provider value keeps today's behavior (native custom tools preserved). With nothing configured, nothing changes.
The route's captured static policy resolves the value once (model declaration over provider value), and resolveWireProtocolOverride projects it onto the call-local provider copy, so retries, key rotation, fallback and continuation use the same answer as the first send.
Native /responses/compact now applies the custom-tool lowering for an explicit false (model or provider) on its send path and after a queued key refresh, which rebuilds the body from the refreshed provider. Before this, compact ignored even the provider-level false. With no declaration the compact body is unchanged, including non-apply_patch custom tools such as code-mode exec. Compact projects only this flag (projectCapturedCustomToolPolicy) and keeps the provider's own wire, so a modelAdapters override cannot turn a native compaction blob into a message. A custom-tool history collision returns HTTP 400 invalid_request_error before any upstream send.
Config validation, tolerant load, the model-settings management API (responsesCustomTools: true | false | null) and provider editor export/import keep an explicit false. The dashboard has no control for it and its Restore leaves it in place; ocx models set <provider/model> --reset now clears it with the other axes.
Docs: docs-site configuration/providers and management-api references; structure/config.md, structure/transports/responses-citations.md and responses-wire-shapes.md.
Failure first: with the six changed src/ files reverted to the dev merge base, tests/responses/model-custom-tool-capability.test.ts and tests/providers/provider-config-validation.test.ts report 17 pass / 11 fail; on this branch they pass. The compact case for an undeclared model fails on dev with a provider-level false and passes with no flag, which pins the unchanged default. The review-round regression native compact projects only the custom-tool flag, never a modelAdapters wire failed on f2d783893 and passes on d0d44afcc.
Focused on d0d44afcc: 14 compact and custom-tool suites (native-compaction-gateway*, native-compaction-provenance, compact-key-selection, responses-compaction, custom-tool-compat, xAI and OpenGateway providers, model settings API, config validation, this capability file) 408 pass / 0 fail; every test file that touches resolveWireProtocolOverride or modelAdapters (40 files) 1445 pass / 0 fail. After the dev merge on cb2d12868: 191 pass / 0 fail and typecheck exit 0 (dev did not touch this PR's src files).
bun run typecheck, bun run privacy:scan, bun run structure:check: exit 0. Layout, file-size ratchet and Lab boundary guards: 77 pass / 0 fail.
bun run test:changed on d0d44afcc: 55190 pass / 251 skip / 9 fail, none from this change. tests/codex-integration/codex-composed-acceptance.test.ts fails the same 2 tests with this PR's six src files reverted to the merge base; the link-ocx-child and Rust conformance cases fail at cargo behind this host's kache shim; tests/config/serving-runtimes.test.ts (36/0) and tests/cli/cli-status-json.test.ts (61/0) pass alone.
Review rounds 2 and 3 found two compact defects, both fixed test-first on 493b9b011: a modelAdapters override no longer changes the compact wire (native compact projects only the custom-tool flag, never a modelAdapters wire), and with no declaration compact keeps every custom tool (with no declaration native compact sends every custom tool and its history unchanged); both failed before their fix. On 493b9b011: 11 compact and custom-tool suites 356 pass / 0 fail; CLI, capability and skill tests 47 pass / 0 fail; guards, CLI and model-settings tests 338 pass / 0 fail; typecheck, privacy:scan, structure:check, skill:surface:check exit 0.

The change adds responsesCustomTools as a per-model capability, with provider-level fallback. The management API can store or clear the override. Native Responses compaction applies the resolved policy to custom-tool history and rejects incompatible history before sending it upstream.
ModelCapabilities now includes responsesCustomTools. Configuration validation, merging, and sanitization support the boolean axis. Resolved policy prefers an exact wire-model declaration, then the provider setting. Tests cover validation, aliases, provider refresh, and explicit false handling.
Model settings management src/server/management/model-routes.ts:853-1032, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/management-api.md:608-630, tests/server/model-settings-management-api.test.ts:22-265
PUT /api/model-settings accepts a boolean or null, stores or clears the override, and reports it in the response state. Tests cover writes, clearing, authentication, and round trips. The API documentation describes the field and its effect on compaction.
Compact sends apply the captured policy and rewrite routed custom tools for non-canonical providers. Incompatible history returns a local HTTP 400 response before an upstream request. Tests cover lowering, preservation, retry behavior, provider fallback, and refusal without sending.
This change adds per-model control of Responses custom tools, with a provider-level fallback and a 400 refusal for incompatible compact history. No actionable merge-blocking risk was identified in the reviewed changes.

Needs fixes before this can land: resolve dev conflicts and move the new test registration into a shard: its +1 line would take current layout.json:1999 to the forbidden 2,000-line threshold. Validate the resulting union and complete readiness.
Still needed on dev: yes. Dev’s capability validator rejects this axis (src/config/provider-validation.ts:473); wire resolution currently projects only the adapter (src/server/adapter-resolve.ts:30).
Exact-head CI at triage time: d3d7224 — 25 success, 8 skipped, one cancelled historical enforce-target alongside a successful replacement. Runtime ci passes in run 39543413066. lane=all on exact head: n.a.
Please refresh onto current dev when addressing these; heads older than dev need a fresh exact-head CI run before review.
Maintainer-side carry for review (no merge), following the 2026-10-24 triage. The branch is rebased onto devfdc6dd82d and now points at 01fa48af0004117e75c58dcc3460067ec8df7203. Your feature commit keeps your authorship.
Conflicts: resolved in provider-validation.ts, adapter-resolve.ts, model-routes.ts and compact.ts, keeping current dev behavior.
Layout: the test registration moved from scripts/test-layout/layout.json into layout-responses.json, so layout.json has no diff; the expected-fixture entry is kept.
Fix (a7e1ead): native compact classified a custom-tool history collision as an upstream connection failure and returned 502. It now returns HTTP 400 invalid_request_error before any upstream send.
Regressions (315e4c0): native compact retry after a live capability edit, and listener authorization before a model-settings save converges (anonymous, invalid token, data-plane token, foreign origin, authorized).
Docs (01fa48a): paragraphs relocated so the provider and management-API references stay inside their file-size caps.
Verification (Bun 1.4.4): the new cases fail on dev (39 pass / 13 fail with the candidate tests over dev source) and pass here (52 pass / 0 fail). An independent review of this head found 0 blocking issues: feature, management and validation suites 85 pass, compact suites 498 pass, dispatch and continuation coverage 211 pass, layout and file-size guards 38 pass, typecheck clean. Management authentication, role and origin enforcement are unchanged.
Not run: full local suite, live providers. Current-head PR CI has been approved.
Maintainer status (contributor-backlog lane), head 88cb22262b.
This is still wanted: dev has the provider-level supportsResponsesCustomTools flag but rejects the per-model axis (src/config/provider-validation.ts ~510) that #6877 needs, and this PR adds that axis with defaults inherited from the provider. It is the smallest change in this batch and a merge candidate. But dev has moved 180+ commits since the maintainer carry on 2026-10-28, and the branch now conflicts in seven files, including provider-validation.ts, src/server/responses/compact.ts and src/types/provider.ts.
Please merge current dev (an ordinary merge), keeping dev's behavior wherever it changed. In compact.ts, check whether all three new projection points (~873, ~1142, ~1213) are needed or only the send path, because a wrong undefined projection would silently drop a live capability. A test should pin that. After the refresh it gets a merge-gate review and CI on that head.

Native compact projected the full route wire (adapter and GCP marker strip)
through resolveWireProtocolOverride, so an official OpenAI provider with a
modelAdapters chat override rewrote its native compaction blob into a plain
message. Compact now projects only the captured custom-tool flag through
projectCapturedCustomToolPolicy, which resolveWireProtocolOverride also uses.
Docs: registry defaults count as the provider value, and the dashboard
Restore leaves the API-only responsesCustomTools axis in place.

With no declaration, native compact rewrote every custom tool except
apply_patch (for example code-mode exec) into a function tool, which changed
the default compact body. The compact rewrite and final check now run only
when the resolved supportsResponsesCustomTools is false, so the default body
is unchanged. ocx models set --reset now also clears the API-only
responsesCustomTools axis, matching its "clears every override" contract.

Value. A mixed Responses gateway can accept native custom tools for one model and reject them for another (#6877 class). Until now, supportsResponsesCustomTools was provider-wide only, and modelCapabilities rejected a per-model axis (on devb114822 the new tests fail 17 pass / 11 fail). This adds modelCapabilities.<model>.responsesCustomTools, which falls back to the provider value (operator or registry default). Native compact now honors an explicit false, which before this it ignored even at provider level.
UX change. It is opt-in config and API only (PUT /api/model-settings, provider editor export/import). There is no dashboard control. ocx models set --reset now clears the new axis too, matching its "clears every override" contract.
Existing users. With nothing configured, ordinary Responses turns and native compact send the same bodies as dev. Two review rounds failed on compact regressions for unconfigured users, and both are fixed test-first:
A modelAdapters override changed the compact wire and rewrote a native compaction blob. Compact now projects only this flag.
Non-apply_patch custom tools such as code-mode exec were lowered on compact. Lowering now happens only for an explicit false.
The final reviewer confirmed the default against the merge-base src. Round 2 checked every capture and projection site (path:line) and found no silent drop of a provider-level or registry false.
Windows. None. The change is config and request-body logic only, with no paths, processes or filesystem access.
Maintainer additions. The author was Platinum-Scripts, credited by Co-authored-by. I added:
dev merges, with conflicts in 7 files resolved alongside dev's mistralMaxImages axis and selectWire;
removal of the redundant initial compact projection;
projectCapturedCustomToolPolicy and the explicit-false gate;
tests for the default, provider false, modelAdapters and code-mode exec cases, plus the CLI reset;
docs for registry defaults and the API-only axis.
Review. Four rounds:
Round 1 (hyds/deepseek-v4.1-flash-1m): PASS, but shallow and inaccurate about compact, so not used.
Rounds 2 and 3: FAIL, fixed as above.
Final fresh round on 493b9b011: PASS, no Critical or Major findings. One nit is left: the last sentence of structure/transports/responses-wire-shapes.md:238 doesn't repeat "explicit false only".
Verification.
On 493b9b011: compact and custom-tool suites 356/0; CLI, capability and skill tests 47/0; guards, CLI and model-settings tests 338/0. typecheck, privacy:scan, structure:check and skill:surface:check pass. The reviewer independently reran the focused files, all passing.
test:changed on d0d44afcc: 55190 pass / 9 fail, none from this change. codex-composed-acceptance fails identically with this PR's src reverted to the merge base. The ocx-child and Rust cases fail at cargo behind this host's kache shim, and the rest pass alone.
NOT RUN: test:changed re-run on 493b9b011 (the last delta is the compact gate and CLI reset, covered by focused suites), full bun run test, docs-site build, the fork PR's CI shards (awaiting approval), and macOS/Windows lanes.
