Tool calls and file inputs fail with Responses API via Portkey for OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, and Bedrock

[Nilesh9106]

What Happened?

• Tool calls fail when using Responses API via Portkey
• Works fine when using direct OpenAI (ChatOpenAI)
• Bedrock errors:
  • messages.1 content is empty
  • toolResult blocks exceed toolUse blocks
• Azure OpenAI error via Portkey:
  • ModelNotFound even though model exists
• Completion API works for tool calls but fails for file inputs
• File-related errors:
  • Azure: missing messages[1].content[0].file
  • Bedrock: invalid DocumentSource (expects bytes or s3Location)

What Should Have Happened?

• Tool calls should work consistently via Portkey with Responses API
• File inputs should be handled correctly across providers
• Azure models should resolve correctly via Portkey
• Behavior should match direct provider integrations
