One conflict in tests/unit/test_responses.py: kept our mozilla-ai#1308 timeout test next to upstream's flatten test. Unit suite: 2234 passed.

_convert_tool_spec skipped any dict whose type is not "function", so a
gemini-native tool like {"google_search": {}} vanished from the request
with no error. Validate such dicts through types.Tool.model_validate —
the SDK schema is the authority, no name table — and raise a typed
InvalidRequestError when it rejects them.

Approving. The fix sits in the one converter every Gemini completion goes through, and it covers vertexai too, since VertexaiProvider shares GoogleProvider. Validating against the SDK schema rather than a name table is the right call; an allowlist of google_search / url_context / code_execution would go stale on every SDK release.
Two things I verified rather than took on trust: google.genai.types.Tool sets extra="forbid", so an unrecognized dict really does raise instead of validating into an empty no-op tool, and all four new tests fail against the pre-fix converter.
Non-blocking, fine as follow-ups:
{}and{"google_search": None}still validate into an emptytypes.Tool()that gets sent. Not a regression, but the no-silent-drops principle does not quite reach them.- The error message could name the accepted shapes. A flat function dict (
{"name": ..., "parameters": ...}) now lands in this branch with no hint about the nested form. - The same silent-drop shape lives in
anthropic/utils.py:407for Anthropic server tools. Worth its own issue.
Worth flagging for anyone reading later: an unrecognized tool dict is now a hard error where it used to be ignored, so a shared tools list reused across providers will fail on Gemini rather than quietly losing a tool. That is the point of the change and it matches how we treat unusable request input elsewhere, but it is a behavior change.
I rebased onto current main and force-pushed; CI is green on c10c43f.

## Description Re-creation of #1300 by @tonycoder-hub, which was closed as stale on 2026-08-21 without a review. His four commits are cherry-picked unchanged, `Co-authored-by` trailers intact, onto current main. The only merge touch is the `_convert_tool_spec(params.tools, provider_name)` line from #1309 that sits above the changed `tool_choice` call. From the original: Gemini's `_convert_tool_choice` only knew `auto` and `required`, so `"none"` raised `KeyError`, and the OpenAI named-function dict was discarded at the `isinstance(..., str)` gate, so a forced function ran as AUTO with no error. `"none"` now maps to `FunctionCallingConfigMode.NONE`; the named-function dict and the `allowed_tools` form map to `mode=ANY` with `allowed_function_names`; anything else raises `UnsupportedParameterError`. VertexAI inherits the conversion. I confirmed the silent drop live on #1300 and we hit it building against Gemini, which is why I am carrying it. Verified live on this branch with `gemini-3-flash-preview` and a `get_weather` tool: | `tool_choice` | result | |---|---| | `"none"` on "What is the weather in Paris?" | no tool call, text answer, `finish_reason=stop` | | `{"type": "function", "function": {"name": "get_weather"}}` on "Hello there, how are you?" | `get_weather` called, `finish_reason=tool_calls` | | `"auto"` | unchanged, `get_weather` called | Tests: `tests/unit/providers/test_gemini_provider.py` and `test_vertexai_provider.py`, 225 passed.

…mozilla-ai#1319 Upstream has merged mozilla-ai#1291, mozilla-ai#1292, mozilla-ai#1308, mozilla-ai#1309, mozilla-ai#1310, mozilla-ai#1317, mozilla-ai#1318, mozilla-ai#1320, mozilla-ai#1325 and mozilla-ai#1352 in their final form, so the fork's own copies are dropped in favour of upstream's. The tree is exactly upstream main plus the two fixes still open there: gemini reasoning_effort="none" (mozilla-ai#1294) and closing the provider stream when the wrapped stream closes (mozilla-ai#1319).

Description
_convert_tool_specskips any dict whosetypeisn't"function", so a gemini-native tool dict like{"google_search": {}}silently vanishes from the request — no error, no search. The typed form of the same tool already passes through viaBUILT_IN_TOOLS; the dict spelling is the one form that dies.Non-function dicts now go through
types.Tool.model_validate: any gemini built-in converts, and a dict the SDK schema rejects raises a typedInvalidRequestError.provider_nameis threaded into the converter for the error message, as #1300 does for_convert_tool_choice.Verified live on
gemini-2.5-flashwith "What was the S&P 500's closing value last Friday?" andtools=[{"google_search": {}}]:4997.58from stale training dataTests: a native dict reaches the request as a typed Tool; function and native tools mix in one call; unknown dicts raise. Existing direct-caller tests updated for the new argument.
