📄 Description

Fixes #22851

Problem

Non-admin users experience tool call failures:

  • Tool calls execute successfully but subsequent generation fails
  • Log shows task=None -> title_generation (missing follow-up call)
  • Admin users work correctly: task=None -> task=None -> title_generation

Root Cause

generate_chat_completion() calls check_model_access() to verify model permissions. When non-admin users use tools:

  1. Tool decision generation succeeds (uses task model)
  2. Response generation fails because it calls generate_chat_completion() without bypass_filter=True
  3. If user does not have explicit access to response model, permission check fails and generation is interrupted

Solution

Add bypass_filter=True to all generate_chat_completion() calls in middleware.py that are for tool decision/response generation.

Changes

  • Line 1245: Tool decision generation - add bypass_filter=True
  • Line 4553: Response generation (tool_calls) - add bypass_filter=True
  • Line 4738: Response generation (native_function_calling) - add bypass_filter=True

Impact

Non-admin users can now successfully use tools and functions without needing explicit model access grants.
