Conversation
…agent sdk `opfor hunt` drove its commander/operator/scout agents through @anthropic-ai/claude-agent-sdk's `query()`, which spawns the Claude Code CLI as a child process. That bound hunt to Claude and to Node, and blocked running it in the browser extension at all (the SDK's `/browser` build is a remote client to a hosted Claude Code session, not a local agent). The coupling turned out to be one file. Of the 17 modules importing the SDK, 16 used only `tool()` / `createSdkMcpServer()`, which are plain object constructors. - Add `tools/defineTool.ts`, a runtime-agnostic tool definition. The 12 tool modules change their import line and nothing else. - Add `orchestrator/agentLoop.ts`: adapts the toolset to an AI SDK `ToolSet` and builds each role's `ToolLoopAgent`. Tool grants are now enforced by construction — an ungranted tool isn't in that agent's toolset at all, so the old `disallowedTools` list is gone. - Add `tools/dispatch.ts`: `dispatch_operator` / `dispatch_scout` replace the SDK's Task tool. Several dispatch calls in one step still run concurrently, so wave-based parallelism is preserved. - Replace the PostToolUse hook with `onStepFinish`; `TranscriptEntry` is unchanged, so the report pipeline is untouched. - `HuntOptions.brain` (provider/apiKeyEnv/baseURL) makes the agent LLM provider-agnostic. Anthropic aliases (sonnet/haiku/opus) and the ANTHROPIC_DEFAULT_*_MODEL pins still resolve. - Delete `buildChildEnv()` — no subprocess means no inherited-credential problem. Also consolidates three separate hardcoded price tables (budget.ts, forceSynthesis.ts, and the run path) onto the shared cache-aware `pricing/` table. budget.ts previously priced every unrecognized model as Sonnet, which was harmless while hunt was Claude-only and wrong the moment it can run anywhere. BREAKING CHANGE: hunt no longer accepts a Claude Pro/Max subscription (`claude login` / `claude setup-token`). It requires an API key for the chosen `--brain-provider`; `CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN` and ~/.claude/.credentials.json are no longer consulted. ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and gateway routing still work.

WalkthroughChangesThe autonomous hunt system now uses provider-agnostic Vercel AI SDK agents and local tool definitions. CLI and SDK flows support provider-specific credentials, models, gateways, and base URLs. Budget tracking records AI SDK token usage by model and agent role. Autonomous hunt migration
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This refactor changes provider selection, authentication, setup behavior, budgeting, and report finalization. Unresolved issues can prevent non-Anthropic hunts from starting, ignore configured credentials, crash setup requests, or undercount usage and delay budget limits; merge should wait for these bounded correctness and runtime risks to be addressed.

Partial cache details drop uncached input tokens from the cost estimate.
The cache object is built when any one of the three detail fields is defined. noCache then falls back to 0. If a provider reports only cacheReadTokens, the uncached input tokens are lost: TokenTracker.recordToBucket uses cache.noCache instead of its ?? inp fallback, so those tokens are priced at zero.
The result is an under-estimated spentUsd, so isOverBudget() fires late and the run overspends.
Derive noCache from the reported input total when the provider omits it.

AI SDK 6 StepResult toolResults isError ToolResult official documentation
💡 Result:
In the AI SDK, the isError property is primarily associated with the ToolResultPart interface, which represents the result of a tool call within a message [1]. It is defined as an optional boolean flag (isError?: boolean) used to indicate if the tool execution resulted in an error [1]. Regarding your query about StepResult and toolResults: 1. ToolResults: In generateText and streamText, the toolResults property (often typed as an array) contains the results of tool calls that were executed [2][3]. 2. StepResult: This interface represents the result of a single step in the generation process [2][3]. It includes a toolResults property (typically Array or similar) that holds the results collected during that specific step [3]. 3. isError vs ToolResult: The isError flag is found on the ToolResultPart (used in message history) [1], whereas tool results handled in the context of StepResult or toolResults arrays typically focus on the tool output [2][3]. If a tool fails during execution, you can explicitly set isError: true when providing the tool result back to the model or agent to signal that the tool call did not succeed [4]. Top results: [2][3][1][4]

site:github.com/vercel/ai v6.0.175 StepResult toolResults isError ToolResult type
💡 Result:
In the Vercel AI SDK (including version 6.0.175), StepResult, toolResults, and isError are concepts related to how tool execution results are structured and handled [1][2][3]. StepResult StepResult is a type representing the output of a generation step in the AI SDK [1][4][5]. It contains properties such as toolCalls (calls made) and toolResults (results received) [1][4][5]. The toolResults property is an array of TypedToolResult objects [1][5]. In the implementation of StepResult, toolResults are filtered from the content array based on whether their type is 'tool-result' [1][4][5]. ToolResult and isError When a tool is executed, its result is handled differently depending on success or failure: 1. Success: Successful tool executions result in tool-result parts [2][6]. 2. Failure (isError): When a tool's execute function throws an error, the AI SDK captures this as a tool-error part [2][6]. The isError property is used to distinguish these failed results [6][7]. For instance, in internal interfaces like ProviderExecutedToolResult, isError is a boolean flag (true for errors) [6][8]. In the context of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool types within the SDK, CallToolResultSchema also utilizes an optional isError boolean property (defaulting to false) to indicate whether a tool call resulted in an error [9][10]. To access these errors, developers can filter step content for tool-error parts [2]: const toolErrors = steps.flatMap(step => step.content.filter(part => part.type === 'tool-error'),); This design enables the SDK to perform automated LLM roundtrips and handle tool execution failures gracefully in multi-step scenarios [2].

site:ai-sdk.dev/docs/reference/ai-sdk-core generateText StepResult toolResults isError
💡 Result:
The terms generateText, StepResult, toolResults, and isError are components of the Vercel AI SDK Core, used for building LLM-powered applications and agents [1][2]. generateText This is a core function in the AI SDK used to generate text and execute tools for a given prompt [1]. It is designed for non-interactive automation tasks, such as summarizing content or performing multi-step reasoning with tools [1]. StepResult In multi-step operations (such as agents using tools), the process is broken down into steps. A StepResult represents the output of a single iteration or interaction within that process [1][3]. It contains metadata and data about the execution, including tool calls, tool results, the finish reason for that step, and performance metrics [1][2]. toolResults This property is found within the StepResult object (or similar response structures) [1][2]. It contains an array of results from tools that were invoked during that specific step [1]. Each item in this array typically holds the output returned by the tool execution [1]. isError This property is associated with tool results [1][2]. When a tool is called, the resulting structure includes an isError boolean field [1][2]. If set to true, it indicates that the tool execution failed or encountered an error, allowing the developer to handle exceptions or pass the error information back to the language model for further processing [1].

Apply provider-aware model defaults.
With --brain-provider openai and no explicit model flags, the CLI supplies "sonnet" and "haiku". brainLlmConfig treats those values as literal non-Anthropic model IDs. The run then requests models that OpenAI does not provide. Also, an empty Anthropic model reaches resolveModelId("") and returns an empty ID instead of the provider default.

Preserve the resolved CLI brain configuration in setup mode.
Line 256 creates a new configuration from only the form provider. The setup UI does not receive the CLI brainKeyEnv or brainBaseUrl values. A run started with --brain-key-env or --brain-base-url can therefore pass the startup check with one configuration and run with another.
Pass the resolved BrainConfig into startUiServer, prefill the form from it, and apply form overrides to that configuration.

Parse /api/start input with Zod before reading fields.
The type assertions do not validate JSON. A non-string brainAuthOverride.apiKey, baseUrl, or authToken can make .trim() throw instead of returning an actionable 400 response.

Use the normalized key environment variable in core options.
Line 34 trims models.apiKeyEnv, but Line 168 forwards the untrimmed value. With apiKeyEnv: " MY_KEY ", the SDK binds MY_KEY while core reads " MY_KEY ". Provider authentication then fails.
