Indexable

ts
[k: string]: unknown

Properties

index?

ts
optional index: number;

Defined in: packages/ai/src/types.ts:1066

Index for parallel tool calls


metadata?

ts
optional metadata: Record<string, unknown>;

Defined in: packages/ai/src/types.ts:1071

Provider-specific metadata to carry into the ToolCall. Untyped at the event layer because events flow through a discriminated union that does not survive generics; adapters cast it to their typed TToolCallMetadata shape when emitting.


model?

ts
optional model: string;

Defined in: packages/ai/src/types.ts:1059

Model identifier for multi-model support


toolName

ts
toolName: string;

Defined in: packages/ai/src/types.ts:1064

Deprecated

Use toolCallName instead (from @ag-ui/core spec). Kept for backward compatibility.
