Summary

Adds tinytools_agent::contains_call_markup(text) -> bool. It answers whether a piece of text is, or contains, a tool call written as markup in any grammar this crate recognises: a complete call, or a recognised block that did not decode (malformed, or opened and never closed).

The function is for callers that must refuse text that is really a tool call, rather than read calls out of it. The motivating case is the tinyagents context summarizer. Its request declares no tools, and DeepSeek V4 sometimes answers it with <|DSML|invoke name="shell">… instead of a summary (tinyhumansai/tinyagents#277). The same check was previously a private helper in tinyagents; it belongs here with the grammars.

  • Bare JSON does not count, since an answer may legitimately be a JSON object (without_bare_json).
  • Markup inside a language-tagged fence stays protected, as in parse_text.

Public API / behavior

Additive: one new public function, re-exported from lib.rs. No existing behavior changes.

Validation

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: clean.
  • cargo clippy --all-targets --all-features -- -D warnings: clean.
  • cargo build --all-targets --all-features: clean.
  • cargo test --all-features: 1056 passed, 0 failed.
  • RUSTDOCFLAGS="-D warnings" cargo doc --no-deps --all-features: clean.

New tests in parse/test/markup.rs, the existing per-grammar test directory:

  • a DSML call, alone and after prose;
  • tagged and invoke calls;
  • a truncated DSML block;
  • prose, a bare JSON answer, a fenced example and an empty string, which must all return false.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added detection for tool-call markup, including calls embedded in prose and incomplete or malformed call blocks.
    • Markup inside protected code fences and bare JSON objects are not treated as tool calls.

The parser now returns an empty result instead of panicking when given an empty input string, improving robustness for edge cases where no data is provided.

Add a test case for empty markup input to ensure the parser correctly returns an empty result instead of panicking or producing unexpected output. This improves test coverage for edge cases in the markup parsing logic.

Co-authored-by: Medulla <medulla@tinyhumans.ai>
The `contains_call_markup` function is now re-exported from the public API so that callers can detect DSML-style markup in text. A new test module for markup detection was added, and the existing test for a DSML call with a leading sentence was reformatted for consistency.

The model name `DeepSeek` and the benchmark name `OpenHuman` are now wrapped in backticks in doc comments and test constants, making them render as inline code in generated documentation and improving readability.

Walkthrough

The parser adds and exports contains_call_markup. The helper detects parsed calls and malformed or unterminated tool-call blocks, but does not count bare JSON alone.

Adds contains_call_markup, exports it from tinytools-agent, and tests recognized call formats, malformed markup, and inputs that should not count as markup.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 03a21

A quoted GLM example can be mistaken for a tool call, so a caller may reject an otherwise valid answer. This is a narrow case that can be fixed with a fence-aware fallback and regression test.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 03a21

The helper adds no tool-execution authority, but its documented quoted-example exemption is inconsistent for one recognized grammar. Downstream adoption and refusal behavior remain unverified.

Retained concerns

  • Low · architecture · inferred: The new refusal predicate does not consistently uphold its documented language-tagged-fence exemption. For a text-tagged fence containing shell/command>ls, the scanner retains the fenced text, the GLM fallback recognizes the enclosed line, and contains_call_markup returns true. A consumer following the documented contract could therefore reject a legitimate quoted example. This is a new public-contract mismatch over the existing parsing mechanism, not evidence of newly introduced tool execution; downstream impact remains unverified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The evidenced exposure is a publicly callable text classifier. Affected runtime consumers, their privileges, and tenant, asset, or environment scope cannot be established because the intended external refusal integration is outside the available source evidence.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — No retained Security findings were supplied. The inspected predicate returns only a boolean; an attacker-controlled-output path through a runtime refusal decision to a privileged executor has not been established.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The predicate disables the whole-response bare-JSON path and treats malformed or unterminated recognized blocks as positive detections. These are recognition controls; they do not establish the authenticity, authorization, or safety of model-provided tool requests.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Reuse of the parser centralizes grammar recognition, but also makes the refusal contract inherit parser fallback behavior. The fence inconsistency demonstrates why extraction semantics and rejection semantics cannot be assumed identical across grammars.

Exclude protected fences from GLM detection.

scan retains protected fence text as narrative, but parse_text also passes it to the GLM fallback. The fallback parses shell/command&gt;ls in a text fence as a call, so contains_call_markup returns true for a quoted example and can cause a caller to reject a valid answer. Restrict GLM detection to unprotected text, preserve fence contents in the narrative, and add a regression test.

Regression test

     assert!(!contains_call_markup(
         "The format is:\n```xml\n<invoke name=\"shell\"><parameter name=\"command\">ls</parameter></invoke>\n```"

+    assert!(!contains_call_markup(
