Events yielded during streaming LLM responses.

Each variant represents a different type of event that can occur during a streaming response from an LLM provider.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

TextDelta

A text delta for streaming text content.

Fields

delta: String

The text fragment to append

block_index: usize

Index of the content block being streamed

ThinkingDelta

A thinking delta for streaming thinking/reasoning content.

Fields

delta: String

The thinking fragment to append

block_index: usize

Index of the content block being streamed

ToolUseStart

Start of a tool use block (name and id are known).

Fields

id: String

Unique identifier for this tool call

name: String

Name of the tool being called

block_index: usize

Index of the content block

thought_signature: Option<String>

Optional thought signature (used by Gemini 3.x models)

ToolInputDelta

Incremental JSON for tool input (partial/incomplete JSON).

Fields

id: String

Tool call ID this delta belongs to

delta: String

JSON fragment to append

block_index: usize

Index of the content block

Usage(Usage)

Usage information (typically at stream end).

Done

Stream completed with stop reason.

Fields

stop_reason: Option<StopReason>

Why the stream ended

SignatureDelta

A signature delta for a thinking block.

Fields

delta: String

The signature fragment to append

block_index: usize

Index of the content block being streamed

RedactedThinking

A redacted thinking block received at content_block_start.

Fields

data: String

Opaque data payload

block_index: usize

Index of the content block

Error

Error during streaming.

Fields

message: String

Error message

kind: StreamErrorKind

Categorization of the error so downstream consumers can map it back to the correct agent_sdk_foundation::llm::ChatOutcome variant or audit-record TurnAttemptOutcome without losing the rate-limit / server-error / invalid-request distinction.
