Avoid attempting to serialize the "tool" during tool call execution

[TooTallNate]

Fixed serialization issue when executing tool calls in DurableAgent.

What changed?

Modified the executeTool function in durable-agent.ts to extract the execute method from the tool object before calling it, rather than invoking it directly on the tool object. This prevents JavaScript from binding this to the tool object, which contains non-serializable properties like inputSchema.

How to test?

Test tool execution in workflows where tools have complex properties that can't be serialized. Verify that tool calls complete successfully without serialization errors.

Why make this change?

When a tool's execute function is used as a workflow step (marked with 'use step'), the step system attempts to capture and serialize this. Since the tool object contains non-serializable properties, this was causing failures. By extracting the execute function before calling it, we avoid the serialization of the entire tool object.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a serialization error that occurs when executing tool calls in DurableAgent where the tool's execute function is marked with 'use step'. The workflow step system attempts to capture and serialize the this context, which fails when this is bound to the tool object containing non-serializable properties like inputSchema.

Changes:

• Modified executeTool function to extract the execute method before calling it, preventing this binding to the tool object
• Added changeset documenting the fix

[TooTallNate]

Fixed serialization issue when executing tool calls in DurableAgent.

What changed?

Modified the executeTool function in durable-agent.ts to extract the execute method from the tool object before calling it, rather than invoking it directly on the tool object. This prevents JavaScript from binding this to the tool object, which contains non-serializable properties like inputSchema.

How to test?

Test tool execution in workflows where tools have complex properties that can't be serialized. Verify that tool calls complete successfully without serialization errors.

Why make this change?

When a tool's execute function is used as a workflow step (marked with 'use step'), the step system attempts to capture and serialize this. Since the tool object contains non-serializable properties, this was causing failures. By extracting the execute function before calling it, we avoid the serialization of the entire tool object.

• Avoid attempting to serialize the "tool" during tool call execution #790 👈 (View in Graphite)

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a serialization error that occurs when executing tool calls in DurableAgent where the tool's execute function is marked with 'use step'. The workflow step system attempts to capture and serialize the this context, which fails when this is bound to the tool object containing non-serializable properties like inputSchema.

Changes:

• Modified executeTool function to extract the execute method before calling it, preventing this binding to the tool object
• Added changeset documenting the fix

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated no comments.
