Four small, independent fixes: two in streamed output guardrails, one schema description, and usage events for requests with nothing to bill.

Raw hold-cap factor 64 → 128. max_buffer_bytes counts generated content, but a hold-back also bounds the raw bytes it keeps, at a multiple of that cap. OpenAI streams with Chinese output frame at 74–75× their generated content, on Chat Completions and Responses alike. So on the routes that measure the upstream's own frames (native /v1/responses, passthrough routes, native /v1/messages) the 64× raw bound tripped at about 86% of the configured cap, before the content cap was ever reached. At 128× the content cap binds again. Worst-case memory per held stream at the default 256 KiB goes from 16 MiB to 32 MiB. The default max_buffer_bytes (262144) is unchanged.

Monitor-only output chains scan all of the generated text. A monitor-only chain never holds a stream back, yet some routes cut its end-of-stream scan at 256 KiB, so a monitor rule whose trigger arrived later was never recorded. The truncating sites were:

  • EosOutputScan::observe, plus the accumulators that feed it on native /v1/responses and streamed audio transcription;
  • the /v1/responses chat bridge's live-mode scan;
  • the chat tool-call text sub-buffer on /v1/chat/completions.

All of them now scan the whole text, as chat body text and native /v1/messages already did. Only generated text is accumulated. The chat route's raw tool-call deltas, which the local kinds (keyword, pii) read, stay bounded; past that bound those kinds judge the tool-call text instead. I also checked passthrough routes, a2a, realtime, jobs and completions: none truncates a monitor scan. Hold-back behavior (window / buffer_full) and the hold caps are unchanged.

max_buffer_bytes description. In window mode the chat route also holds streamed tool-call arguments whole under the chain's folded max_buffer_bytes; the description now says so. Schemas regenerated.

Every model-serving request emits its UsageEvent. The console Logs and budgets read only usage events, and several endpoints still skipped them when there was nothing to bill:

  • /v1/rerank emitted only when the upstream reported a token count. Cohere rerank-v3.5 returns "meta":{"api_version":{"version":"2"},"billed_units":{"search_units":1}} with no input_tokens, so every real Cohere rerank was missing from Logs and budgets.
  • /v1/completions, /v1/embeddings, /v1/images/generations and POST /v1/videos skipped it when the gateway itself answered 501 because the provider lacks the capability.
  • /mcp skipped it when a guardrail or content capture made the gateway read the tool result back and that read failed (the result outgrew the body cap, or the body was broken): the caller got a 502 after the tool call had already reached the upstream.

Each now emits, with zero tokens when none were reported. input_tokens is still read when Cohere sends it. There is no search-unit pricing and no new field. Error paths already emitted their zero-token events and are unchanged. The rule is now stated on usage_attr::emit_usage, the emission chokepoint, together with its one deliberate exception: polling a video job (GET /v1/videos/:id) and retrieving its content emit no event. The tests that pinned the old skip are inverted.

Behavior changes after upgrading, with no configuration edits needed:

  • A held stream framed at 64–128× its content is now scanned and released instead of tripping on_buffer_exceeded early.
  • Monitor-mode output guardrails record hits anywhere in a streamed response, not only in its first 256 KiB.
  • Cohere rerank requests, and the gateway's own 501 refusals on completions, embeddings, image generation and video submission, now appear in Logs and count toward budgets as zero-token rows.
  • An MCP tool call whose result the gateway could not read back now appears in Logs as a 502 row.

Tests: DP e2e covers each item and fails without its fix. stream-output-raw-hold-cap adds content-at-cap streams framed at ~100× on native /v1/responses, native /v1/messages and a passthrough route. guardrail-monitor-full-output-scan puts a monitor trigger after 275 KB on native and bridged /v1/responses, chat tool-call arguments, chat content, native /v1/messages and streamed transcription. usage-event-every-request covers the Cohere rerank shape, the 501 refusals and the MCP 502.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Output guardrails can now scan complete streamed text, tool-call arguments, and audio transcripts in end-of-stream scan modes, including outputs longer than the previous scan limit.
    • Usage records are emitted for successful requests even when token counts are missing, including unsupported-provider responses. Some upstream response errors now also produce a usage record.
    • Increased raw-content hold capacity accommodates streamed responses with substantial framing overhead.
  • Documentation
    • Clarified how buffering limits apply to streamed responses and tool-call arguments.

OpenAI streams of CJK output frame at 74-75x their generated content on
both Chat Completions and Responses. On the routes that count the
upstream's own bytes (native /v1/responses, passthrough routes, native
/v1/messages) the 64x raw bound therefore tripped at about 86% of the
configured max_buffer_bytes, contradicting the rule that the cap counts
generated content. At 128x the content cap binds again. Worst-case memory
per held stream at the default 256 KiB goes from 16 MiB to 32 MiB.
… text

A monitor-only output chain (EndOfStreamCheck) holds nothing back, yet
several streamed routes silently cut its end-of-stream scan at 256 KiB:
native /v1/responses and streamed audio transcription (EosOutputScan and
the accumulators feeding it), the /v1/responses chat bridge's live-mode
scan, and the chat tool-call text on /v1/chat/completions. A monitor rule
whose trigger arrived past that point was never recorded.

Every route now scans the whole generated text, as chat body text and
native /v1/messages already did. Only generated text is accumulated; the
chat route's raw tool-call deltas stay bounded, and past that bound the
local kinds judge the tool-call text instead.
… arguments

In window mode the chat route holds streamed tool-call arguments whole
and caps them with the chain's folded max_buffer_bytes; the field
description named only the whole-stream holds on /v1/messages and
/v1/responses. Schemas regenerated.
A usage event is the observability record of a request, and the console
Logs and budgets read nothing else. Several endpoints still skipped it
when there was nothing to bill:

- /v1/rerank emitted only when the upstream reported a token count. A
  live Cohere rerank-v3.5 call reports meta.billed_units.search_units
  and no input_tokens, so every real Cohere rerank was missing from Logs
  and budgets.
- /v1/completions, /v1/embeddings, /v1/images/generations and
  POST /v1/videos skipped the event when the gateway answered 501 itself
  because the provider lacks the capability.

Each now emits, at zero tokens when the upstream reported none. The rule
is stated on usage_attr::emit_usage, the emission chokepoint. No
search-unit pricing is added.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes expand end-of-stream guardrail scans beyond prior text caps and adjust bounded collection for streamed tool-call arguments. They document related buffer limits. Covered request paths also emit usage events when token counts are missing, for unsupported-provider responses, or after a specified MCP response-read failure.

Changes

Streaming guardrail buffering and scans

Layer / File(s) Summary
Buffer bounds and cap descriptions
crates/aisix-core/src/models/guardrail.rs, schemas/resources*/guardrail.schema.json, crates/aisix-proxy/src/held_content.rs, tests/e2e/src/cases/guardrail-buffer-cap-enforced-hit-e2e.test.ts, tests/e2e/src/cases/stream-output-raw-hold-cap-e2e.test.ts
Guardrail descriptions include Chat Completions tool-call arguments in the documented window-mode cases. The raw-byte bound increases from 64× to 128×. End-to-end fixtures exercise streams with high framing overhead.
Chat tool-call collection and scanning
crates/aisix-proxy/src/chat.rs
Tool-call collection no longer stops at the former policy-derived cap. When bounded collection fills, the final check scans the complete tool-call text as a scan-only segment.
Full-stream end-of-stream scans
crates/aisix-proxy/src/audio.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/guardrail_stream.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/responses.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/responses_bridge.rs, tests/e2e/src/cases/guardrail-monitor-full-output-scan-e2e.test.ts
Transcription, Responses, and bridged Responses scan paths pass full assembled text to end-of-stream scans. An end-to-end test checks monitor-mode behavior across six streaming routes.

Usage events for dispatched requests

Layer / File(s) Summary
Usage-event accounting policy
crates/aisix-proxy/src/usage_attr.rs
Attempt splitting no longer returns a route-refusal flag, and the guardrail-attribution helper is removed. Usage documentation describes event emission when usage is absent or nothing is billable, with stated exceptions.
Route event emission and validation
crates/aisix-proxy/src/completions.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/embeddings.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/images.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/rerank.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/videos.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/mcp.rs, crates/aisix-proxy/src/responses.rs, tests/e2e/src/cases/usage-event-every-request-e2e.test.ts
Covered successful-dispatch paths emit events for missing usage and unsupported-provider responses. MCP emits an event when upstream response reading fails. Tests check zero-token events and the MCP 502 event.

Full details: E2e Test Quality Review

Explanation

The E2E coverage is incomplete for the usage-event change. The PR changes /v1/images/generations to emit a zero-token event for a gateway-generated 501, but usage-event-every-request-e2e.test.ts covers rerank, completions, embeddings, MCP, and videos only. The existing image test checks only the 501 response and does not verify the usage event. The MCP test also discards the initialize response status and body at lines 223-229, so setup errors can be hidden.

Resolution

Add an E2E image-generation case that reaches the unsupported capability, asserts the 501 response, and verifies the image_generation SLS event has status 501 and zero tokens. Also assert the MCP initialize response status and validate its response body before calling tools/call; fail immediately when initialization is not successful.

Comment @coderabbitai help to get the list of available commands.

When a guardrail or content capture makes /mcp read the tool result back
and that read fails (the result outgrows the body cap, or the body is
broken), the gateway answered 502 without a usage event, although the
call had reached the upstream. It now emits the same tool-call event
every other exit does, with status 502.

Video job polling (GET /v1/videos/:id) and content retrieval deliberately
emit no usage event; the emission rule now says so.
The #1029 passthrough fixture carried a 100 KB content-free tail, past
the old 64x raw bound of its 1 000-byte cap but under the new 128x one,
so it no longer tripped. It now carries 200 KB.

- Around line 1656-1658: Restore `CreateSuccess.upstream_called` and pass it
through the submit success path to `emit_submit_usage_event`, which should
forward it to `emit_usage` instead of hard-coding dispatched as true. Set it
false for both 501 paths in `dispatch_create` and `Submitted::Unsupported`, and
true when the submit reaches upstream.

Comment thread crates/aisix-proxy/src/videos.rs
The unsupported-provider 501 on POST /v1/videos now emits a usage event,
but emit_submit_usage_event hard-coded dispatched=true, so the 501
exported an upstream CLIENT span for a call that never happened. Restore
CreateSuccess.upstream_called and pass it through, as completions,
embeddings and images already do.
