Summary

Fixes #6119

When disableToolCallResolution: true is used with generateText or streamText, tool call parameters were decoded twice:

  1. First decode: generateContent/streamContent decoded the provider response through Response.Part(toolkit), which runs each tool's parametersSchema transform (e.g. Schema.URL: string -> URL object, Schema.NumberFromString: string -> number)
  2. Second decode: When the user called toolkit.handle(toolCall.name, toolCall.params), it ran Schema.decodeUnknown(tool.parametersSchema) again on the already-decoded params, failing because transforming schemas expect the encoded type

This caused AiError.MalformedOutput errors like:

└─ ["url"]
   └─ Encoded side transformation failure
      └─ Expected string, actual https://example.com

Fix

In the disableToolCallResolution code path, use generic tool-call/result schemas with Schema.Unknown params instead of the toolkit's tool-specific schemas. This keeps params as raw JSON values (the encoded form), which is exactly what toolkit.handle() expects as input.

  • generateContent: Use RawPartSchema instead of Response.Part(toolkit)
  • streamContent: Use RawStreamPartSchema instead of Response.StreamPart(toolkit)

Test plan

  • Added test for generateText with transforming schema (Schema.NumberFromString) and disableToolCallResolution: true -- verifies params stay raw and toolkit.handle() succeeds
  • Added test for streamText with the same scenario
  • All existing tests pass (28/28)
  • TypeScript typecheck passes

…leToolCallResolution

When `disableToolCallResolution: true`, `generateContent` and
`streamContent` decoded tool call parameters through the tool's
`parametersSchema` (e.g. string -> URL). When the user then called
`toolkit.handle()`, it decoded again, failing on transforming schemas
like `Schema.URL` or `Schema.NumberFromString`.

Use generic tool-call/result schemas with `Schema.Unknown` params in
the `disableToolCallResolution` path so params remain as raw JSON,
matching what `toolkit.handle()` expects.

Fixes Effect-TS#6119

@MaxwellCalkin - this PR looks good, but it will need a changeset. You can generate one with pnpm changeset (can just be a patch).

Also, do you know if this issue exists with Effect v4?
