## Description
Previously, when a tool returned `Command` to update the graph's state,
the `_validate_tool_command` method in `ToolNode` would raise a
`ValueError` if the `messages_update` list contained only a
`RemoveMessage(id=REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES)` object. This was because the
validation logic expected a matching `ToolMessage` for the tool call and
did not account for this specific state-clearing scenario.
This commit modifies the validation logic to check if the
`messages_update` list contains a single
`RemoveMessage(id=REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES)` element. If this condition is
met, the `ToolMessage` validation is bypassed, allowing a tool to clear
the entire message history without causing a validation error.
A new test case, `test_tool_node_command_remove_all_messages`, has been
added to `tests/test_tool_node.py` to verify this change and prevent
future regressions.
## Example
Here is a self-contained example that illustrates the problem and the
fix. Without this change, the code block for `Example 2` would raise a
`ValueError`.
```python
from typing import Annotated, List
from langchain_core.messages import (
AIMessage,
AnyMessage,
HumanMessage,
RemoveMessage,
ToolMessage,
)
from langchain_core.tools import InjectedToolCallId, tool
from langchain_openai import ChatOpenAI
from langgraph.graph import END, StateGraph, add_messages
from langgraph.graph.message import REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES
from langgraph.prebuilt import InjectedState, ToolNode
from langgraph.types import Command
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
# Agent state tracks current and all messages
class AgentState(BaseModel):
messages: Annotated[List[AnyMessage], add_messages] = Field(
default_factory=list, description="Current conversation messages."
)
all_messages: Annotated[List[AnyMessage], add_messages] = Field(
default_factory=list, description="All messages, including removed ones."
)
# Tool to clear history if long enough, otherwise returns a warning
@tool
def clear_history_tool(
state: Annotated[AgentState, InjectedState],
tool_call_id: Annotated[str, InjectedToolCallId],
):
"""Clears message history if it's long enough."""
if len(state.messages) < 3:
return Command(
update={
"messages": [
ToolMessage(
"History is not long enough to be cleared. Please try again.",
tool_call_id=tool_call_id,
)
]
}
)
else:
return Command(
update={
"messages": [RemoveMessage(id=REMOVE_ALL_MESSAGES)],
"all_messages": state.messages
+ [
ToolMessage(
"History has been successfully cleared.",
tool_call_id=tool_call_id,
)
],
}
)
# Bind the tool to the model
model = ChatOpenAI(model="gpt-4o-mini").bind_tools([clear_history_tool])
def model_node(state: AgentState):
return {"messages": [model.invoke(state.messages)]}
# Build the agent graph
graph_builder = StateGraph(AgentState)
graph_builder.add_node("model", model_node)
graph_builder.add_node("tools", ToolNode([clear_history_tool]))
graph_builder.set_entry_point("model")
graph_builder.add_edge("model", "tools")
graph_builder.add_edge("tools", END)
graph = graph_builder.compile()
def print_messages(header, messages):
print(f"\n{header}")
for message in messages:
message.pretty_print()
### Example 1: Not enough history to clear
state_1 = AgentState(
messages=[HumanMessage(content="Please clear my message history.")]
)
output_1 = graph.invoke(state_1)
print_messages("First call: State 'messages'", output_1["messages"])
print_messages("First call: State 'all_messages'", output_1["all_messages"])
### Example 2: History is cleared
state_2 = AgentState(
messages=[
HumanMessage(content="Will this PR get merged?"),
AIMessage(content="Maybe, if it's good enough."),
HumanMessage(content="Please clear my message history."),
]
)
# Without the changes in this PR, the following line will raise a ValueError
output_2 = graph.invoke(state_2)
print_messages("Second call: State 'messages'", output_2["messages"])
print_messages("Second call: State 'all_messages'", output_2["all_messages"])
```

Introduces a syntax for cross-reference links that work across language
and change behavior depending on which scope they appear in.
```markdown
@[interrupt]
:::python
@[StateGraph]
:::
:::js
@[create_react_agent]
:::
```
Can be compiled to
```markdown
# a link that changes based on global context or compile target
<div> ... </div> -> `interrupt` in global context
:::python
[StateGraph](link to python cross reference)
:::
:::js
[create_react_agent](link to js cross reference)
:::
```
TODO:
- [x] fix broken unit test
- [x] no f strings in logger (it's a sin)
- [x] remove cross-refs.txt (we'll instead start updating the cross link
map)
