vllm.tool_parsers.apertus_tool_parser ¶
Tool call parser for Apertus models.
Extracts tool calls from the format: <|tools_prefix|>[{"function_name": {"arg1": "value1", ...}}, ...]<|tools_suffix|>
Used when --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser apertus are set.
ApertusToolParser ¶
Bases: ToolParser
Tool call parser for Apertus models.
Handles the extraction of tool calls from text in both non-streaming (complete string) and streaming (chunked token) environments.
The expected Apertus function call format is a JSON array of single-key dictionaries sandwiched between special tokens: <|tools_prefix|>[{"function_name": {"arg1": "value1"}}, ...]<|tools_suffix|>
Examples:
>>> tokenizer = ... # Mock tokenizer
>>> parser = ApertusToolParser(tokenizer)
>>> output = 'I will check. <|tools_prefix|>[{"get_weather": ' '{"city": "Paris"}}]<|tools_suffix|>'
>>> request = ChatCompletionRequest(...)
>>> info = parser.extract_tool_calls(output, request)
>>> info.content
"I will check."
>>> info.tool_calls[0].function.name
"get_weather"
>>> info.tool_calls[0].function.arguments
'{"city": "Paris"}'

_buffer_delta_text ¶
Buffers incoming delta chunks to prevent fragmentation of multi-token special tags.
If a chunk ends with a partial match of <|tools_prefix|> or <|tools_suffix|>, it holds that part back until the next chunk clarifies if it's the actual tag or just normal text.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
delta_text | str | The newly generated text chunk | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
str | The safe, verified text chunk free of partial tag collisions. |
Examples:
>>> parser = ApertusToolParser(...)
>>> parser._buffer_delta_text("Let me check <|tool" "Let me check " # "<|tool" is buffered internally
>>> parser._buffer_delta_text("s_prefix|>" "<|tools_prefix|>" # Buffer released on completion

Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
parsed | list | The partially parsed JSON list containing tool dictionaries. | required |
index | int | The active index within the JSON list. | required |
tool_calls | list[DeltaToolCall] | The running list of delta chunks to mutate. | required |

_get_tool_diff ¶
Calculates the exact string difference to safely append new tool parameters.
This ensures characters like {, }, and " don't jump around unevenly in the UI frontend while streaming incomplete JSON arguments.
Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
parsed | list | The latest list of parsed JSON objects. | required |
index | int | The active tool's array index. | required |
is_final | bool | Whether to emit trailing structural brackets (True if block is done). | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
DeltaToolCall | None | A |
Examples:
>>> # Previous streamed state: '{"city": "Pari'
>>> # Current full parse state: '{"city": "Paris"}'
>>> # Returns diff (closing bracket suppressed until final):
>>> parser._get_tool_diff(parsed, index=0, is_final=False)
DeltaToolCall(index=0, function=DeltaFunctionCall(arguments='s'))

Parameters:
| Name | Type | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
json_str | str | The extracted JSON array string so far (e.g. | required |
is_final | bool | True if the tool block has received its closing | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
list[DeltaToolCall] | A list of |
list[DeltaToolCall] | items representing string diffs in function arguments |
list[DeltaToolCall] | to stream back to the client. |

_reset_streaming_state ¶
Resets all streaming state variables for a new completion request.
This clears the delta text buffer and resets the pointers used to track the currently streaming tool index and arguments. Called implicitly during initialization and should be called between separate streams.
Source code in vllm/tool_parsers/apertus_tool_parser.py
adjust_request ¶
adjust_request(
request: ChatCompletionRequest | ResponsesRequest,
) -> ChatCompletionRequest | ResponsesRequest
Adjusts the generation request to ensure special tool tokens are not skipped.
Forces skip_special_tokens=False if tools are actively being evaluated, ensuring the tools special tokens are surfaced to the engine for parsing.

|---|---|---|---|
request | ChatCompletionRequest | ResponsesRequest | The incoming OpenAI-compatible chat completion request. | required |
Returns:
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
ChatCompletionRequest | ResponsesRequest | The potentially modified chat completion request. |
