fix(vscode-lm): sanitize surrogates, recover leaked tool calls, and window-safe tool_result truncation#1188simurg79 wants to merge 12 commits into
Conversation
…indow-safe tool_result truncation Hardens the VS Code Language Model provider (notably GitHub Copilot serving Anthropic Claude) against three failure modes: - Surrogate sanitization: a lone UTF-16 surrogate cannot be encoded as UTF-8, so the backend rejects the entire request with a 400. sanitizeSurrogates() replaces unpaired surrogates with U+FFFD while preserving valid pairs (emoji, CJK ext.), applied to string messages, tool results, and text parts. - Leaked tool-call recovery: some backends stream a tool call as raw <invoke> XML instead of a structured LanguageModelToolCallPart, leaving the turn with no tool_use block and stalling the task in a "no tools used" retry loop. extractLeakedToolCalls() and trailingPartialToolMarkerLength() detect the markup mid-stream (including markers split across chunk boundaries) and replay it as a real tool call, conservatively: only for <invoke> names matching a tool actually offered that turn, and only when tools were offered. - Window-safe tool_result truncation: Copilot's backend trims over-window requests without preserving tool_use/tool_result pairing, orphaning a tool_result and causing a 400 (unexpected tool_use_id). truncateToolResultsToFitWindow() and middleOutTruncate() shrink oversized tool_result payloads on our side (largest first, middle-out, pairing preserved) before sending. Ported from simurg79/Roo-Code#12.

Can a native LanguageModelToolCallPart (yielded at :761) arrive while salvageBuffering is true? If so, this flush emits leftoverText after that native tool_use, and cleanConversationHistory serializes in order — leaving text content following a tool_use block, which Anthropic rejects. Worth flushing the buffer as text before yielding a native call, or dropping the leftover-text emission for a buffer that spans one.

Apologies for the late reply — this is already resolved in the current branch.
flushSalvage() (src/api/providers/vscode-lm.ts, defined around line 708) is invoked before a native LanguageModelToolCallPart is yielded, so any buffered salvage text is emitted as a text chunk first rather than being dropped or reordered behind the tool call.
Covered by the interleaving test at src/api/providers/__tests__/vscode-lm.spec.ts:418.

Does this recover a call when the model merely quotes the <invoke> markup (e.g. echoing a file snippet, or a "Do NOT run <invoke>…" negative example)? The only gate here is the tool name; prose that reproduces the markup is replayed as a real call with whatever arguments accompany it. Should the block need to be self-delimited, or wrapped in <antml:function_calls>, to count as an invocation?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
You were right, and I want to correct the record before anything else.
My earlier claim that the real-world leak takes the form of a bare, unwrapped <invoke> was unsubstantiated. I could not produce a linked issue or a vscode-lm transcript for it, and the third-party reports I was leaning on (anthropics/claude-code#66153, #73808) are Anthropic-API, not vscode-lm. I withdraw that claim.
To answer your question with data instead, I ran a scratch extension against a real extension host: 210 live vscode.lm requests, 7 Copilot Claude models x 6 scenarios x 5 repeats, 0 errors. The probe, the replay harness, and representative transcripts are committed under .roo/skills/probe-vscode-lm-api/.
Your concern was legitimate. Models really do reproduce <invoke name="..."> in prose: 44 of 70 runs that asked for a quoted example (in prose or in a fenced block) contained the markup. A name-only gate would have been replaying those.
On the specific fix: the quoted/fenced guard caught 100% of them. Replaying extractLeakedToolCalls() over all 58 transcripts containing <invoke (with validToolNames = {read_file}) recovered 9 — all genuine invocations, arguments parsed correctly — and passed 49 through as text, including all 44 quoted cases. 0 false positives.
On the <function_calls> wrapper specifically, the sample inverts what I would have guessed. All 14 genuine emitted invocations were wrapped; 0 were bare. All 44 quoted cases were bare; 0 were wrapped. So in this data, bare correlates with quoting and wrapped with genuine invocation — requiring the wrapper would not have been the discriminator it appears to be, and the fence/quote guard is what actually does the work. I am happy to add the wrapper requirement on top if you still want the belt-and-braces, but I did not want to present it as the thing that fixes this.
One more limit worth stating plainly: the leak did not reproduce at all in the 105 tool-declared runs — every one emitted a proper LanguageModelToolCallPart and leaked nothing. That bounds the rate at something low, but 105 runs does not prove absence, and it does not tell us the shape of the failure when it does occur. The recovery path's target remains inferred rather than observed on this transport.

I am not very familiar with the LLM behavior but I asked AI to run experiments. I think the result indicated that you are right and I am not sure if the code is updated as you suggested though but tests indicated the code is holding.
Sorry, I wish I know all these details.

Once this flips true it stays true until stream end — a <invoke/<function_calls match in ordinary prose latches buffering for the entire remaining response, so real-time streaming stops and the tail is emitted as one chunk. Should this reset if the buffer never progresses toward a complete block (or latch only after name="…" is seen)?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Apologies for the late reply — this is already resolved in the current branch.
LEAKED_TOOL_CALL_START (src/api/providers/vscode-lm.ts, around line 81) no longer latches on a bare <invoke; the alternation requires either a <function_calls> wrapper or <invoke name=". Prose that merely mentions <invoke therefore does not stop real-time streaming for the rest of the response.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
These recovery tests filter chunks by type and assert each independently, so the emission order (prose before the recovered tool_call) is never asserted — a swap would still pass. Also, no case mixes a native LanguageModelToolCallPart with leaked <invoke> text, which is the one interleaving that can yield an invalid tool_use-then-text message. Worth asserting the full chunk sequence and adding a native+leaked fixture?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Apologies for the late reply — this is already covered in the current branch.
Chunk ordering is asserted explicitly at src/api/providers/__tests__/vscode-lm.spec.ts:409, which expects the exact sequence ["text", "tool_call", "usage"], so prose emitted before a recovered call cannot be reordered behind it or dropped. The interleaving case at :418 covers the mixed native-tool-call path.

Address review feedback on the leaked-tool-call salvage path: a tool name alone was not a sufficient gate, so prose or fenced examples reproducing the invoke markup could be replayed as real calls. Adds the quoted/fenced guard plus coverage. Also records the empirical vscode.lm probe as a project skill (probe-vscode-lm-api) with the scratch probe extension, the false-positive replay harness, representative transcripts, and the consent-gate gotcha.
Skill directories hold reference scripts and captured artifacts that are intentionally never imported by the build.

…buffer Loop tag stripping until stable so `<<script>>` cannot reconstruct a tag after a single pass (CodeQL incomplete multi-character sanitization). Track fence marker and width instead of counting ``` runs for parity, so tilde fences and 4+ backtick fences are recognized. Treat a quoted invoke that ends its line as quoted when an explicit quoting cue precedes it, rather than recovering it as a live tool call. Keying off leading prose alone was tried previously and regressed genuine recoveries, so the cue is deliberately narrow. Bound the salvage buffer so markup that never closes is flushed as plain text instead of withholding the response until the stream ends.
The first version of this test only checked the flushed text's content, which the end-of-stream drain produces even without the cap, so it passed against the unfixed code. Assert instead that text reaches the consumer before the stream is exhausted, which is what the bound actually changes.

Could we also recursively sanitize string values in toolMessage.input before creating the adjacent LanguageModelToolCallPart, so a lone surrogate nested in a tool argument cannot cause the VS Code LM request to fail with a 400?

Accepted — fixed in 87d8a68.
You're right that this was a real gap. Every text path already routed through sanitizeSurrogates, but toolMessage.input went straight into LanguageModelToolCallPart via asObjectSafe() unsanitized. Since the backend rejects the whole request for a lone surrogate anywhere in the serialized JSON, a sliced astral character in a tool argument (e.g. a path or a search string truncated mid-emoji) would fail the request exactly like message text would — and more confusingly, because nothing the user typed as prose is at fault.
Added sanitizeSurrogatesDeep(), which walks strings, arrays, and nested objects, and applied it to the asObjectSafe(toolMessage.input) result. Object keys are sanitized too, since they're serialized as well.
Regression test: sanitizes strings nested in tool_use input in src/api/transform/__tests__/vscode-lm-format.spec.ts, covering both a top-level string and one nested inside an object-within-an-array.
Non-vacuity check (this PR has shipped vacuous tests before, so I verified rather than assumed): with the fix reverted the test fails with
AssertionError: expected { path: 'bad\uD800end', …(1) } to deeply equal { path: 'bad\uFFFDend', …(1) }
and passes with the fix restored. git diff confirms no temporary revert remains.
Scope note: this sanitizes tool-call arguments on the outbound conversion only. It does not attempt to repair a lone surrogate that a caller introduces after conversion.

Given that the probe found every observed genuine invocation wrapped and every quoted example bare, could we require the <function_calls> wrapper here so quoted or untrusted bare <invoke> markup cannot be converted into a real tool call?
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Accepted — implemented in 87d8a68.
This is the same question @edelauna raised in r3739788045, and the probe data now argues for your side rather than mine. From .roo/skills/probe-vscode-lm-api/SKILL.md: all 14 genuine emitted invocations were wrapped in <function_calls> and 0 were bare; all 44 quoted-in-prose cases were bare and 0 were wrapped. I had previously read that as "the wrapper is not the discriminator, the fence/quote guard is" — but that conclusion only holds for the accidental quoting the probe happened to sample. It does not hold for the adversarial case you're pointing at, where bare <invoke> markup arrives from an untrusted file or a prompt-injected snippet. There the quoting heuristics (QUOTING_CUE, fence detection, trailing-prose check) are lexical guesses an attacker controls, whereas the wrapper is a structural property of a genuine emission.
extractLeakedToolCalls() now requires an unclosed <function_calls> wrapper to be open at the block's position before a block is recovered; isInsideFunctionCallsWrapper() scans back to the last opening wrapper and confirms no closing tag intervenes. The existing quoting guards are unchanged and still run, so this is strictly narrowing — a block must now be both wrapped and not quoted.
Two new regression tests in src/api/providers/__tests__/vscode-lm.spec.ts:
does not recover a bare invoke block with no function_calls wrapperdoes not recover an invoke that follows an already-closed wrapper
Non-vacuity check — with the wrapper gate removed, both fail:
AssertionError: expected [ { name: 'update_todo_list', …(1) } ] to have a length of +0 but got 1
and both pass once restored. git diff confirms no temporary revert remains.
Please note this is a real behavior change, not just a hardening tweak, and I want to be explicit about the tradeoff rather than overstate it: if a genuine leak ever occurs bare, it is no longer recovered and will surface to the user as literal markup. I consider that the correct failure direction — passing markup through as visible text is recoverable, whereas executing an attacker-supplied tool call is not — and the probe found no bare genuine invocation in 210 runs. But 210 runs cannot exclude a rare or model-specific bare emission, so this narrows recovery coverage on the strength of a bounded sample, not a proof.
Six existing tests asserted recovery of bare blocks and were updated to the wrapped form. Notably one was named recovers an unwrapped leak preceded by a stray token — it encoded the bare-leak assumption I already withdrew earlier in this PR, so aligning it here is consistent with that correction. Full suite: 137/137 passing across both spec files (98 provider + 39 transform).

Require trailing prose after the literal example.
isQuotedAsCode() identifies unfenced quoted markup from prose that follows the <invoke> block. Line 121 permits prose before the example or a standalone example at the end. The standalone form is intentionally recoverable, so an E recovery can be counted as a false positive incorrectly.
Require narrative prose after the literal example on the same line. Alternatively, classify standalone examples as intentionally ambiguous.
Based on learnings: isQuotedAsCode() uses trailing prose, and standalone quoted <invoke> markup remains intentionally indistinguishable.

What this changes
Hardens the VS Code Language Model provider (notably GitHub Copilot serving Anthropic Claude) against three failure modes.
1. Surrogate sanitization
A lone UTF-16 surrogate cannot be encoded as UTF-8, so the backend rejects the entire request with a 400.
sanitizeSurrogates()replaces unpaired surrogates with U+FFFD while preserving valid pairs (emoji, CJK ext.). Applied to string messages, tool results, and text parts.2. Leaked tool-call recovery
Some backends stream a tool call as raw
<invoke>XML instead of a structuredLanguageModelToolCallPart, leaving the turn with notool_useblock and stalling the task in a "no tools used" retry loop.extractLeakedToolCalls()andtrailingPartialToolMarkerLength()detect the markup mid-stream (including markers split across chunk boundaries) and replay it as a real tool call. This is deliberately conservative: only for<invoke>names matching a tool actually offered that turn, and only when tools were offered at all.3. Window-safe
tool_resulttruncationCopilot's backend trims over-window requests without preserving
tool_use/tool_resultpairing, orphaning atool_resultand causing a 400 (unexpected tool_use_id).truncateToolResultsToFitWindow()andmiddleOutTruncate()shrink oversizedtool_resultpayloads on our side (largest first, middle-out, pairing preserved) before sending.Adaptations made during the port

Empirical validation of the leaked-tool-call path
Review feedback asked whether the recovery path could fire on markup the model merely quotes. To answer that with evidence rather than inference, a scratch extension was loaded into a real extension host and made 210 live
vscode.lmrequests (7 Copilot Claude models x 6 scenarios x 5 repeats, 0 errors).The raw transcripts were not retained in the repo. The probe harness and the replay spec live under

This behavioral change is a judgment call, not a measured result.

This is the item most warranting reviewer scrutiny.
Limits of this evidence
The real-world shape of the leak that motivated this recovery code is inferred from third-party Anthropic-API reports (anthropics/claude-code#66153, #73808), not captured from
vscode-lm. Novscode-lmtranscript of the failure exists. An earlier claim in this PR's discussion that the real-world leak is a bare unwrapped<invoke>was unsubstantiated and is withdrawn. Copilot'svscode.lmendpoint also sits behind its own prompt assembly, so these results describe that surface rather than the raw Anthropic API.Summary by CodeRabbit
