I tried to switch a PoC chat built with Ash AI from OpenAI to Google models (Gemini), and tool use broke because of the presence of additionalProperties in the JSON
It looks like in pydantic-ai they suffered a similar problem pydantic-ai Gemini Schema Generation Fails for Dynamically Created Models with List[KeyValuePair] Replacement for Dict · Issue #1469 · pydantic/pydantic-ai · GitHub
Here is a simple live tool use test with Gemini that generates the error Added a failing that fails in a live call to the Google API because of · ash-project/ash_ai@47321f3 · GitHub (generated), the error looks like:
$ mix test test/ash_ai/gemini_additional_properties_test.exs --include live_call --include live_google_ai

This patch (generated) Tool use is working with a live call to the Google/Gemini API · ash-project/ash_ai@89ddbd6 · GitHub fixes the error.
Not opening a PR because I am just starting to learn Elixir and I can’t really evaluate the quality of the code, despite it not being particularly complex.
Also, bumped into a different error later in the PoC app that looks related to handling a streamed response from Google, but I still need to confirm it with an isolated failing test.
