Fixes #566

Problem

Tool results were only processed if they contained a 'result' key, causing other valid Map structures to be ignored.

Solution

Changed the Claude model to serialize the entire response Map to JSON instead of extracting only the 'result' key.

Changes

  • Modified Claude.java:171-182 to use ObjectMapper.writeValueAsString()
  • Added proper error handling with try-catch
  • Falls back to .toString() if JSON serialization fails

Testing

  • ✅ All FunctionTool tests pass (36/36)
  • ✅ Code compiles successfully
  • ✅ Verified with the reproduction case from the issue

Summary of Changes

Hello @stevearmstrong-dev, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request resolves a critical bug in the Claude model's tool result processing. Previously, only tool responses containing a specific 'result' key were processed, leading to valid tool outputs being ignored. The change ensures that all tool response Map structures are correctly serialized to JSON, significantly improving the reliability and flexibility of tool integrations within the system.

Highlights

  • Tool Result Processing Fix: Addressed an issue where the Claude model's tool result processing was overly restrictive, only recognizing results containing a specific 'result' key and ignoring other valid Map structures.
  • Enhanced Serialization: Modified the Claude model to serialize the entire tool response Map to JSON using ObjectMapper.writeValueAsString() for comprehensive data handling.
  • Robust Error Handling: Implemented proper error handling with a try-catch block during JSON serialization, including a fallback to .toString() if serialization fails.

Code Review

This pull request correctly fixes an issue where tool results were not being processed correctly by serializing the entire response map to JSON. The change is well-contained and includes appropriate error handling with a fallback mechanism.

My review includes a suggestion to improve performance, robustness, and readability by reusing the ObjectMapper instance, catching a more specific exception, and reducing redundant code. While the provided code suggestion only addresses one of these points directly to fit within the diff, I highly recommend applying all the suggested improvements.

Previously, Claude model only processed tool results if they
contained a 'result' key, ignoring other valid responses.

Changes:
- Serialize entire response Map to JSON instead of extracting only 'result' key
- Use static final ObjectMapper for better performance
- Catch specific JsonProcessingException instead of generic Exception
- Extract repeated expression to local variable for readability
