cache_breakpoint validation error during Agent execution (#6789)#7176Conversation
Strip provider-unsupported cache_breakpoint keys from messages before sending to LiteLLM. Native providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) already strip these markers in BaseLLM._format_messages(), but the LiteLLM path in LLM._format_messages_for_provider() was bypassing that cleanup, causing Mistral API to reject requests with 'extra_forbidden' errors. The fix ensures cache_breakpoint is stripped in all LiteLLM flows while preserving the marker for native providers that translate it to their cache directives (e.g., Anthropic's cache_control). Fixes crewAIInc#6789
Add focused tests verifying that cache_breakpoint markers are stripped from messages before sending to LiteLLM. Tests confirm: - Mistral models have markers stripped - Generic LiteLLM models have markers stripped - Original message list is not mutated - All other message keys are preserved Tests use object.__new__(LLM) to bypass __new__ validation and avoid requiring LiteLLM installation. Also make Anthropic tests conditional on provider availability. Related to crewAIInc#6789
Add explicit type annotation and type ignore comment for the cleaned_messages list comprehension to satisfy mypy type checking. The comprehension filters cache_breakpoint but preserves all other message keys, matching the LLMMessage type.
Move type: ignore[list-item] comment to the line with the spread operator to properly suppress mypy error about list item type mismatch when spreading cleaned_messages. This maintains the same number of mypy errors as before the cache_breakpoint fix.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe LLM now infers Bedrock, Anthropic, and Gemini providers from model names. Provider formatting removes internal cache breakpoint markers without mutating input messages. Tests cover sanitization and optional Anthropic availability. ChangesProvider routing and cache marker cleanup
Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR fixes Agent requests that fail when LiteLLM-bound messages contain internal cache metadata, but its provider inference can also route some unqualified model names through AWS Bedrock instead of the expected provider. That may send prompts through a different credentialed service than intended, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner confirmation or a narrower model-namespace match. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3 | ❌ 2❌ Failed checks (2 warnings)

_format_messages_for_provider() to instantiate LLM through a test-only subclass

is_anthropic=False) instead of object.__new__(LLM) and direct field assignment.
Ensure the constructed instances retain valid Pydantic state and avoid invoking

…_cache.py Address PR review feedback by replacing the unsafe object.__new__(LLM) pattern with a proper Pydantic model_construct() approach. LLM inherits from BaseModel, so bypassing __new__ and directly assigning fields can raise AttributeError before the test methods run. This change introduces a test-only _LLMForTest subclass that overrides __new__ to allow model_construct() to work properly, providing a more idiomatic and safer way to instantiate test instances for testing internal methods like _format_messages_for_provider().

Closes #6789
AI disclosure (
llm-generated)This contribution was prepared by an AI agent under the warren campaign
camp-crewai-6789(agentpionanthropic/claude-sonnet-4-5), approved by jayminwest. Per this repository's AI-contribution policy it requires thellm-generatedlabel; a cross-fork author cannot apply labels, so maintainers are kindly asked to add it. Validation evidence is below.Problem
Agent execution marks messages with an internal cache_breakpoint key for prompt caching. Native providers (OpenAI, Anthropic) strip the marker in BaseLLM._format_messages(), but the LiteLLM fallback path in LLM._format_messages_for_provider() bypassed that cleanup, so api.mistral.ai rejected Agent requests with 'extra_forbidden: Extra inputs are not permitted' while a direct llm.call() on the same model worked.
Solution
LLM._format_messages_for_provider() in lib/crewai/src/crewai/llm.py now builds cleaned_messages with CACHE_BREAKPOINT_KEY filtered out of every message and uses that list throughout the method. All other message keys are preserved, and the original messages list is not mutated, so the markers survive for subsequent iterations and for providers that support prompt caching. New tests in lib/crewai/tests/llms/test_prompt_cache.py (TestLiteLLMStripsMarker) prove Mistral-bound and generic LiteLLM-bound messages carry no cache_breakpoint, that other keys are preserved, and that the input list is unmutated.
Impact
Agents configured with the native Mistral API (e.g. mistral/mistral-large-latest) no longer fail crew.kickoff() with litellm.BadRequestError; behavior is unchanged for providers that accept prompt-cache metadata, and any other LiteLLM provider that rejects unknown message keys is fixed by the same cleanup.

Summary derived from the run's final agent report and the verified branch diff on the fork (compare main...warren/run_zp2t6219v894: exactly the two listed files after the operator removed two committed agent-harness artifacts, .pi/sessions/*.jsonl and .warren/agent.json, in a follow-up cleanup commit — crewAI's .gitignore does not cover them). No forbidden or protected paths touched. Known gap stated by the agent: no live api.mistral.ai request was exercised; the fix is proven at the message-formatting boundary via the repository's own test harness.
Opened by the warren campaign controller from a journaled, owner-approved cross-fork intent (campaign
camp-crewai-6789). The exact request was journaled before any posting; when the campaign policy does not enable the create mutation, this body exists only as dry-run evidence and no pull request is opened.
