Description

Fix the base streaming parser when an end-of-tool token starts with the same text as the tool-call separator.

For Qwen3, tool_call_separator is "\n" and eot_token is "\n</tool_call>". After a completed call, the retained end token was mistaken for the start of another tool call. The parser stayed in the JSON/tool branch and buffered later assistant content instead of emitting it.

The fix excludes an actual end token from the subsequent-tool separator path. Genuine subsequent tool calls continue to use the existing separator handling.

Fixes #17740.

Test Coverage

Adds a CPU regression test that streams a wrapped Qwen3 tool call followed by ordinary assistant text and verifies the text is emitted and the parser buffer drains.

Focused state-machine validation passed. The full TensorRT-LLM test suite was not available in this environment, so upstream CI should run the registered parser tests.

PR Checklist

  • One correctness defect only
  • Regression test added
  • No API change
  • No dependency change

Dev Engineer Review

  • Updated base_tool_parser.py to avoid treating an actual end-of-tool token as a new tool-call separator.
  • Preserved parsing for genuine subsequent tool calls.
  • The change is limited to the shared streaming parser path.
  • No public API, dependency, configuration, or test-list changes are included.
  • The implementation addresses the Qwen3 prefix overlap without changing unrelated parser behavior.

QA Engineer Review

  • Added test_qwen3_tool_parser_trailing_content.
  • The test covers a wrapped Qwen3 tool call followed by assistant text.
  • The test verifies that trailing text is emitted as normal_text.
  • The test verifies that the parser buffer is empty and no extra tool call is produced.
  • No matching entry was found in tests/integration/test_lists, test-db, or qa.
  • Verdict: needs follow-up.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The streaming parser no longer treats an end-of-turn token as a subsequent tool call when it starts with the tool-call separator. A CPU-only Qwen3 test verifies that trailing assistant text is preserved and the buffer is cleared.

Changes

Streaming tool parser correction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Separator guard and Qwen3 regression test
tensorrt_llm/serve/tool_parser/base_tool_parser.py, tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/test_qwen3_tool_parser_trailing_content.py
The separator continuation check excludes text beginning with eot_token. The test verifies trailing text is returned as normal_text, no extra tool calls are emitted, and the parser buffer is empty.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 79044

The parser fix is narrowly scoped and targets the reported streaming failure, but the added regression test is not included in the repository’s test list and does not fully verify the completed tool call. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up to register and strengthen the test.

Assert that the wrapped tool call was parsed.

Capture the results from the JSON and closing-token increments. Assert that get_weather was emitted and completed. Add coverage for a second wrapped tool call.
