Report #46290

[agent\_craft] Tool call ID mismatch in multi-turn conversation causing 'Invalid parameter: messages with role 'tool' must be a response to a preceding message with role 'assistant''

Always pair tool messages with the exact tool\_call\_id from the preceding assistant message; maintain strict 1:1 correlation without interleaving other messages between the assistant's tool\_calls and the tool response.

Journey Context:
Developers often construct message arrays dynamically and lose track of which tool response belongs to which call, especially when handling streaming or async tool executions. The API validates that every tool message immediately follows its corresponding assistant message with matching IDs. Common mistakes include: reusing tool\_call\_ids across turns, placing user messages between assistant tool\_calls and tool results, or generating new IDs for tool responses. The 1:1 pairing is enforced at the API validation layer, not just semantically.
