#270
Tool parameters lose descriptions from Annotated[...] and docstring Args sections
Problem
@ai.tool builds the parameter schema with get_type_hints(fn), which strips Annotated metadata. The most natural typed-tool patterns therefore produce undocumented arguments:
from typing import Annotated
from pydantic import Field
@ai.tool
async def get_weather(
city: Annotated[str, Field(description="City name")],
days: Annotated[int, Field(ge=1, le=7, description="Forecast length")] = 3,
) -> str:
"""Get the weather forecast.
Args:
city: City to forecast for.
"""
return "sunny"Today neither the Field(description=...) nor the Args: entry for city reaches the JSON schema the model sees. Descriptions materially affect tool selection and argument quality, so this hurts most in exactly the multi-tool workspaces the agent loop targets.
Suggested behavior
- resolve hints with
get_type_hints(fn, include_extras=True)soFieldmetadata survives intomodel_json_schema()(pydantic already supports this; no new dependency) - additionally fill missing property descriptions from a Google-style
Args:docstring section, withFieldtaking precedence - schemas for tools that use neither mechanism stay byte-identical
Happy to take this one.
