fix(openai-base): run the computer use loop - #1831
AlemTuzlak wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
A computer_call from the model is now a tool call to computer_use_preview, with the action and the pending safety checks as its input. The tool result goes back as computer_call_output, with the first image of the result as the screenshot. When the call does not fail, the output acknowledges the safety checks of the call.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Convert screenshots only for computer results.
If a shell, local_shell, or apply_patch result contains a file-source image, this new call invokes convertContentPartToInput. An adapter without file-source support throws before userToolResultItem can serialize that non-computer result. Previously, those result paths did not convert an image to a screenshot. Call screenshotOf only when the owner is computer_use_preview.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Do not treat a missing screenshot as a successful observation.
If an execute handler succeeds but returns text or an empty result, screenshotOf supplies no image and this branch still acknowledges the safety checks. The next computer-use turn receives no view of the screen. Require an image for a successful computer result, or treat the missing image as a failed result before acknowledging checks. OpenAI’s computer-use loop calls for a screenshot after executing actions. (developers.openai.com)

The result of a shell, local_shell, or apply_patch call no longer goes through the screenshot read. A file from another provider in such a result threw there, but the result never sends an image.

Add E2E coverage for the computer-use loop.
CONTRIBUTING.md requires E2E coverage for every behavior change. This PR adds only unit coverage and no E2E fixture or scenario. No exception for an unrepresentable computer_call appears in the applicable guidance.
If aimock cannot emit the native OpenAI computer_call, add a deterministic repository-owned E2E mount, as the suite does for other aimock gaps, and cover the loop and screenshot replay there.

aimock cannot send a computer_call, so the route answers with a custom fetch. The spec checks the tool input, and that the next request sends the computer_call and its computer_call_output with the screenshot and the acknowledged safety check.
With
computerUseTool()from@tanstack/ai-openai/tools, the computer use loop stops after the first action. The model'scomputer_callnever becomes a tool call, so the tool never runs, and nocomputer_call_outputgoes back. This PR readscomputer_callas a call to thecomputer_use_previewtool, and sends the result back ascomputer_call_outputwith the screenshot.🎯 Changes
computer_calloutput item is now a tool call tocomputer_use_preview. Its input is{ action, pending_safety_checks }, as the model sent them.computer_callinput item, with the same item id, action, and safety checks.computer_call_output. The first image of the result is thecomputer_screenshot(a data URL, a URL, or a file id).shell,local_shell, orapply_patchcall skips the screenshot read, as onmain.computerUseToolsection of the OpenAI adapter page shows a working loop: anexecutethat asks a person when there are safety checks, runs the action, and returns the screenshot. The provider tools page listscomputerUseToolwith the other tools that the app runs.The code follows the existing

Root cause
Issue. An app that gives
computerUseTool()tochat()gets onecomputer_callfrom the model, and then the run ends. The toolexecutenever runs, and the model never gets a screenshot.Cause.
readUserExecutedCallinpackages/openai-base/src/adapters/responses-user-tools.tsreads onlyapply_patch_call,local_shell_call, andshell_call. Acomputer_callreturnsnull, so the stream emits noTOOL_CALL_STARTorTOOL_CALL_ENDfor it.userToolRequestItemanduserToolResultItemalso have nocomputer_callorcomputer_call_outputshape.Fix.
readUserExecutedCallturns acomputer_callinto a call tocomputer_use_preview, the name of the tool thatcomputerUseTool()makes. The replay functions send it back ascomputer_callandcomputer_call_output. The adapter givesuserToolResultItemthe screenshot (fromconvertContentPartToInput) and the failure flag of the tool message.Possible alternatives
responses-user-tools.ts. It makes the adapter change smaller. It was not taken because it copies the data URL and file id logic ofconvertContentPartToInput.Testing
