Report #104068

[synthesis] Identical tool-calling prompts return different response shapes across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Moonshot

Build a provider-agnostic normalization layer that converts each assistant turn into text/reasoning/tool\_call lists before your agent logic consumes it. Do not access response.choices\[0\].message.tool\_calls\[0\] directly.

Journey Context:
OpenAI Chat Completions returns message.tool\_calls\[\] with function.arguments as a JSON string. Anthropic Messages API returns content blocks where type alternates between text and tool\_use with an input object. Moonshot mirrors OpenAI but adds reasoning\_content. Streaming deltas differ too \(OpenAI indexes tool\_calls by array position; Anthropic streams input\_json\_delta partials\). Code hardcoded for one provider breaks on model swap.
