Revert "fix: prevent premature termination in Ollama sequential tool execution" #953
Conversation
|
Caution Review failedThe pull request is closed. WalkthroughThis update removes complex dynamic analysis methods for determining final answers and tool summary generation in the Ollama provider. The logic is replaced with a simpler heuristic based on response text length, eliminating nuanced confidence scoring, pattern matching, and multi-factor assessments from the LLM class. Changes

Summary of Changes
Hello @MervinPraison, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request is a direct revert of a previous commit, #945, which had introduced sophisticated logic to manage Ollama's sequential tool execution and prevent premature termination. By undoing these changes, the PR aims to simplify the decision-making process for determining when an LLM's response is considered final and when a tool summary should be generated, effectively restoring the prior, less complex behavior and potentially addressing unintended side effects of the previous change.
Highlights
- Revert of Ollama Tool Execution Logic: This pull request fully reverts the changes introduced in commit #945, which aimed to prevent premature termination in Ollama's sequential tool execution by implementing dynamic analysis for response handling.
- Removal of Dynamic Analysis Methods: The methods
_analyze_tool_chain_context,_assess_response_quality,_should_generate_tool_summary, and_is_final_answerhave been removed. These methods were responsible for providing 'intelligent differentiation' and 'dynamic analysis' for Ollama responses and tool summaries. - Simplified Final Answer and Tool Summary Logic: The decision-making process for determining if an LLM response is a final answer and when to generate an Ollama tool summary has been simplified. The logic now relies on basic checks, such as response text length, rather than the previously introduced complex dynamic analysis.

Code Review
This pull request reverts a previous change that introduced complex logic for handling sequential tool execution with Ollama. The revert simplifies the logic, which likely resolves issues introduced by the original fix.
My review focuses on the resulting code after the revert. I've identified a few areas for minor improvements:
- A redundant length check in
_generate_ollama_tool_summary. - A slightly verbose conditional check in
get_responseandget_response_asyncthat can be simplified for better readability.
These suggestions aim to clean up the code being reverted to, improving its maintainability.

| return None |

This check for substantial response length appears to be redundant.
This function _generate_ollama_tool_summary is called from get_response (line 1112) and get_response_async (line 1861). In both places, the call is preceded by a check: if response_text and len(response_text.strip()) > 10:.
If that condition is true, the loop breaks, and this function is never called. This function is only reached if len(response_text.strip()) <= 10.
Therefore, the check len(response_text.strip()) > OLLAMA_MIN_RESPONSE_LENGTH (where OLLAMA_MIN_RESPONSE_LENGTH is 10) will always be false within this function.
Removing this redundant check will make the code slightly more efficient and easier to maintain.

The condition response_text.strip() is redundant here.
The check len(response_text.strip()) > 10 already implies that response_text.strip() is a non-empty string, which is a truthy value.
The initial response_text check is still needed to guard against response_text being None.
Simplifying the condition will improve readability.

Similar to the synchronous version, the response_text.strip() part of this condition is redundant.
The len(response_text.strip()) > 10 check ensures that response_text.strip() is truthy. The check for response_text is sufficient to handle None values.
Simplifying this condition will make the code cleaner.

| if response_text and len(response_text.strip()) > 10: |

Bug: LLM Tool Execution Prematurely Terminated
The recent changes prematurely terminate LLM tool execution sequences by misinterpreting intermediate responses. For Ollama providers, short responses (<= 10 characters) now unconditionally trigger a tool summary and loop termination. Furthermore, the 'final answer' detection was simplified to a length check (> 10 characters), causing legitimate intermediate responses that require further tool use to be incorrectly classified as final.
