Summary

Eliminate a redundant type validation in the tool call response logic. The extra check was unreachable and served no purpose, making the code misleading and harder to read.

Problem

The code contained a redundant type check that was logically impossible to reach:

elif not isinstance(output, ResponseFunctionToolCall):
    logger.warning(f"Unexpected output type, ignoring: {type(output)}")
    continue

# At this point we know it's a function tool call
if not isinstance(output, ResponseFunctionToolCall):  # This check can never be reached
    continue

The second type check (lines 495-497) could never be executed because:

  • If output is NOT a ResponseFunctionToolCall, the first check would have already caused a continue and skipped the rest of the loop
  • If output is a ResponseFunctionToolCall, the second check would always be false

Changes Made

Removed the redundant and unreachable type check, leaving only the necessary logic:

elif not isinstance(output, ResponseFunctionToolCall):
    logger.warning(f"Unexpected output type, ignoring: {type(output)}")
    continue

# At this point we know it's a function tool call
tools_used.append(output.name)

This improves code clarity and eliminates dead code that could confuse developers and static analysis tools.

## Summary

Eliminate a redundant type validation in the tool call response logic. The extra check was unreachable and served no purpose, making the code misleading and harder to read.

## Problem

The code contained a redundant type check that was logically impossible to reach:

```python
elif not isinstance(output, ResponseFunctionToolCall):
    logger.warning(f"Unexpected output type, ignoring: {type(output)}")
    continue

# At this point we know it's a function tool call
if not isinstance(output, ResponseFunctionToolCall):  # This check can never be reached
    continue
```

The second type check (lines 495-497) could never be executed because:
- If `output` is NOT a `ResponseFunctionToolCall`, the first check would have already caused a `continue` and skipped the rest of the loop
- If `output` is a `ResponseFunctionToolCall`, the second check would always be false

## Changes Made

Removed the redundant and unreachable type check, leaving only the necessary logic:

```python
elif not isinstance(output, ResponseFunctionToolCall):
    logger.warning(f"Unexpected output type, ignoring: {type(output)}")
    continue

# At this point we know it's a function tool call
tools_used.append(output.name)
```

This improves code clarity and eliminates dead code that could confuse developers and static analysis tools.
