Summary

Fixes #44948.

An explicit parallel_tool_calls: null was falsy in Python, so it fell through the truthiness check and was filtered the same as false — trimming responses to a single tool call. Since the documented default is true, and null means "unspecified", it should resolve to that default just like an omitted field.

Root cause: if request.parallel_tool_calls: fires for both False and None.

Fix: Change to if request.parallel_tool_calls is not False: so that None (and True) both pass through, matching the docstring that says filtering only applies "when parallel_tool_calls is False".

Request value Before After
omitted (default True) keeps all keeps all
true keeps all keeps all
false trims to first trims to first
null trims to first keeps all

Also adds a unit test covering all three explicit values (True, False, None) for both non-streaming and streaming choices.

An explicit null value for parallel_tool_calls was falsy, causing it to
be filtered the same as False. Gate on `is not False` so that None
resolves to the documented default (True), matching an omitted field.
