messages_loop.rs

1//! Messages-native gateway tool loop.
2//!
3//! Runs the server-side gateway-tool loop for `/v1/messages` **natively**: the
4//! client's Anthropic request is forwarded to vLLM `/v1/messages` while
5//! preserving Anthropic fields except for native server-tool declarations that
6//! must be normalized to the function-tool shape vLLM accepts. The assistant turn is
7//! inspected, any gateway-owned `tool_use` is executed server-side and hidden,
8//! the loop appends the `tool_result` and re-POSTs, until the model stops asking
9//! for a gateway tool. Only the final assistant message reaches the client.
10//!
11//! This never touches `RequestPayload`/`ResponsePayload`; it reuses only the
12//! protocol-neutral tool layer (`ToolRegistry::dispatch`) via
13//! [`crate::types::messages::tool_seam`]. Non-streaming only; streaming lives in
14//! `messages_stream`.
