Thanks for putting this up — this is the right first step for #7013.
Please rebase onto main (mergeStateStatus is currently BEHIND) and work through the remaining CodeRabbit comments before we review further:
- Azure: report the cap
_prepare_completion_params()actually sends (params.get("max_tokens")), rather than choosing betweenself.max_completion_tokensandself.max_tokens. - OpenAI structured Chat Completions:
beta.chat.completions.parse()can return a parsed object before the newwarn_if_truncatedcall, so afinish_reason="length"response still stays silent. Wire the warning on the parse path (sync and async) as well.
Happy to take another look once those are in.

Ping me once if this is ready for review, I can still see the code rabbit not yet resolved. |
Only the Bedrock provider checked whether a response stopped because it hit max_tokens. Every other provider already binds finish_reason at the call site and forwards it to LLMCallCompletedEvent, but nothing reads it, so a cut-off response is returned as though it were complete. Adds is_truncated() and warn_if_truncated() to _finish_reason_utils.py, which already centralises finish-reason extraction, and calls the warning from the eight sites where finish_reason is in scope. Bedrock is untouched since it already has its own check. Refs crewAIInc#7013
CodeRabbit flagged that the warning could name the wrong setting. Gemini sends max_output_tokens and OpenAI/Azure reasoning models send max_completion_tokens, so passing self.max_tokens everywhere pointed the reader at a knob that would not change anything on three of the four providers.
…tive_max_tokens
CodeRabbit found the warning never fired on the OpenAI Responses API: that path
exposes status ('incomplete') rather than a finish reason, so the cause has to
come from incomplete_details.reason. Adds max_output_tokens to the recognised
set and a small helper to read it.
The structured-output parse() branches return before the existing call sites,
so a parsed response with finish_reason='length' was also silent.
Replaces the hand-rolled per-provider cap expressions with the existing
_effective_max_tokens(), which already encodes each provider's precedence and
is what LLMCallStartedEvent reports.

Closes #7013. Opening this at @Vidit-Ostwal's suggestion on that thread.
What this changes
Only the Bedrock provider checked whether a response stopped because it hit the token cap:
No other provider had an equivalent branch, so a cut-off response was handed back as though
it were complete.
This adds two helpers to
_finish_reason_utils.py, which already centralises finish-reasonextraction, and calls the warning from the eight sites where
finish_reasonis alreadybound:
anthropic/completion.py:1010,1558azure/completion.py:864gemini/completion.py:847openai/completion.py:983,1130,1935,2363Bedrock is deliberately untouched, since it already has its own check.
is_truncated()normalises the three spellings in one place (lengthon OpenAI and Azure,max_tokenson Anthropic and Bedrock,MAX_TOKENSon Gemini), compared case-insensitivelywith separators stripped. The warning names the model and the current cap, so the reader
knows which knob to turn:
Verification
main(4e0b2e2)ruff checkon changed filesruff format --checkBoth suites were run today against the same commit, so the comparison is measured rather
than assumed.
The 18 tests pin behaviour rather than wording: every provider spelling is recognised,
stopandtool_callsare not, the warning names the cap, and a complete response stayssilent. Worth mentioning that these are also the first tests covering the truncation path at
all, since the existing Bedrock check has none.
Deliberately left out
Two ideas came up on #7013 that I have not built here, because you described the helper plus
a warning as the right first step and I would rather not widen the diff past that:
openai_compatibleendpoints returnstopeven when the upstream model truncated. This predicate returnsFalsethere,which is the honest answer for an unrecognised value but not a complete one. A tri-state,
or surfacing unknown reasons as an error the way some other runtimes do, would be a
larger change to the return contract.
ModelResponseor therun event, so callers can react without scraping logs, is a design question I did not
want to answer on your behalf.
Happy to follow up on either, in whatever shape you prefer.
Manual check
Beyond the suite, a one-agent crew at
max_tokens=16now warns on both providers I couldtest directly:
Before this change both runs produced the truncated text as the task result with zero
warnings logged.
