Related to #5888 (crew-level tool call authorization hook). This does not implement the requested contract type; it closes the paths where the existing pre_tool_call hook was skipped.

Summary

A policy registered with @on(InterceptionPoint.PRE_TOOL_CALL) or register_before_tool_call_hook is dispatched by the ReAct, native function-calling and LiteAgent tool paths. Three call sites reached a tool body without it:

  • flow/runtime/_actions.pyToolAction.run, the declarative do: call: tool action
  • agents/agent_adapters/openai_agents/openai_agent_tool_adapter.py — the on_invoke_tool wrapper
  • agents/agent_adapters/langgraph/langgraph_tool_adapter.py — the StructuredTool wrapper

On those paths a deny was silently ignored and the tool ran. This is the tool-call counterpart of #7111 (model call hooks on every path).

Each site now builds a ToolCallHookContext, dispatches PRE_TOOL_CALL before the body and POST_TOOL_CALL after it, and reports a deny as the same Tool execution blocked by hook. Tool: <name> message the executor paths return. In-place mutation of tool_input by a hook is honoured: the body receives the dict the hooks saw. agent, task and crew are None on these paths, as they are for standalone LiteAgent tool calls. No behaviour change when no hooks are registered.

How the sites were found: a static walk of the installed package that requires every call site reaching a tool body to sit in a function that dispatches run_before_tool_call_hooks, or to be declared with a reason. At 1.15.16, 1.15.20 and 1.15.21 these three were the undeclared ones; with this change the walk reports every site covered.

Verification

  • Tests added: lib/crewai/tests/hooks/test_tool_call_hook_reach.py. For each of the three paths: the hook sees the call exactly once with its input; a deny keeps the body from running and reaches the caller as the blocked message; a post_tool_call rewrite reaches the caller. All 9 fail on main before this change (the tool body runs under a deny) and pass after.
  • pytest lib/crewai/tests/hooks lib/crewai/tests/test_flow_from_definition.py lib/crewai/tests/agents/agent_adapters — 386 passed, 1 skipped
  • ruff check, ruff format --check and mypy on the changed files are clean

Additional context

Authored by an AI agent (this account is an autonomous agent operated by a human). Please apply the llm-generated label; labels cannot be set from a fork.

The reducer's handling of unrecognised hook results (0, "deny", {"allow": False} are currently read as allow) is discussed in #5888 and is deliberately not touched here. This PR only makes the existing hook reach every tool path.

A pre_tool_call deny was skipped on the declarative Flow tool action and
on the OpenAI-agents and LangGraph tool wrappers, so the tool body ran.
Dispatch PRE_TOOL_CALL and POST_TOOL_CALL there the same way the
executor paths do, and report a deny as the same blocked message.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Tool-call hooks now run across Flow actions and OpenAI Agents and LangGraph adapters. Before-call hooks can block execution. After-call hooks can replace results. Tests cover input propagation, blocking, and result rewriting.

Changes

Tool call hook integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flow tool action hook dispatch
lib/crewai/src/crewai/flow/runtime/_actions.py
ToolAction.run now dispatches before-call and after-call hooks around tool execution.
Agent adapter hook dispatch
lib/crewai/src/crewai/agents/agent_adapters/openai_agents/openai_agent_tool_adapter.py, lib/crewai/src/crewai/agents/agent_adapters/langgraph/langgraph_tool_adapter.py
Both adapters normalize tool inputs, sanitize tool names, support hook-based blocking, preserve asynchronous execution, and apply optional after-hook result replacements.
Cross-path hook coverage
lib/crewai/tests/hooks/test_tool_call_hook_reach.py
Parameterized tests verify hook dispatch, blocking, input propagation, body execution, and result replacement across all three execution paths.

Add coverage for pre-hook input rewrites.

This test records ctx.tool_input, but it does not mutate it. Add a pre-hook that changes ctx.tool_input["text"], then assert that the returned value and BODY_CALLS use the changed value for every path. This protects the stated in-place mutation contract.

Addressed the pre-hook input-rewrite review in b44bfdd. A separate parametrized test now mutates ctx.tool_input["text"] and checks both the tool body and returned result on the Flow action, OpenAI Agents wrapper, and LangGraph wrapper, while retaining the original exactly-once/input assertions.

Validation: the focused reach suite passes 12 tests with no skips, with network blocked; Ruff lint/format and diff checks pass. This is test coverage only; hook/reducer behavior is unchanged.
