Summary

Closes #1491.

OpenAIProvider sends a fixed body, so OpenAI-compatible endpoints that need one more field cannot get it. The motivating case is OpenRouter through OPENAI_BASE_URL: the provider object (order, allow_fallbacks, only, sort) is the only way to pin an upstream provider, which keeps that provider's prompt cache warm instead of letting :floor move between providers per call. The same gap exists for vLLM (chat_template_kwargs), top_k, and similar fields.

OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY holds a JSON object merged into every chat request:

OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY={"provider":{"order":["deepinfra"],"allow_fallbacks":false}}
  • model, messages, max_tokens, stream and reasoning_effort set by agentmemory always win over the same keys.
  • A value that is not a JSON object fails at construction with an error naming the setting (the value is not echoed).
  • Unset, the request body is unchanged.

Documented in .env.example, the README env block, and the provider's header comment. The second commit is the npm run docs:sync output (test count 2,500+ → 2,600+).

Checks

  • test/openai-extra-body.test.ts: unset body unchanged, fields added, reserved fields win, invalid values (not json, array, null, number) rejected
  • npm run build, npm run skills:gen, npm run docs:sync, npm run skills:check, npm run docs:check
  • npm test: 2601 passed, 4 skipped

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY to include custom JSON fields in chat requests. Agentmemory’s configured request values take precedence when fields conflict.
  • Documentation
    • Updated configuration guidance for custom request fields and refreshed project statistics across the documentation to report 4,100+ passing tests.

Walkthrough

The OpenAI provider now accepts OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY as a JSON object and merges its fields into chat requests. Provider-set fields take precedence. Project documentation and sync state now report 4,100+ tests instead of 4,000+.

Changes: OpenAI Extra Request Body

Layer / File(s) Summary
Parse and document extra request fields
.env.example, README.md, src/providers/openai.ts
OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY is parsed as a JSON object and documented for endpoint-specific request fields. Missing or blank input produces no extra fields. Invalid JSON and non-object values cause construction to throw.
Merge extra fields into chat requests
src/providers/openai.ts
The provider adds extra fields before its standard request fields. The standard fields take precedence over matching extra-body keys.
Test extra-body request behavior
test/openai-extra-body.test.ts
Tests cover unset and configured values, precedence, invalid inputs, and environment cleanup.

Documented Test Count

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update test counts across documentation
AGENTS.md, README.md, READMEs/README.*.md, scripts/docs-sync.state.json
The test count changes from 4,000+ to 4,100+ in project statistics, badges, development instructions, and documentation sync state.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "feat(openai): send extra request fields from OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY" names the main change. The PR adds an optional OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY setting that merges a JSON object into OpenAI chat requests, and the title states this directly. The title is short, specific, and follows conventional-commit style. The title does not mention the precedence rule for agentmemory-set fields or the docs and test-count updates, which is expected for a title.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Direct linked issue #1491 is open, so its coding requirements apply. No parent or contextual issues are present.

[#1491] Optional JSON object setting: src/providers/openai.ts reads OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY and merges its fields into each chat request (+19 lines). The PR description and the .env.example, README env block, and provider header comment document the setting. Met.

[#1491] Reserved fields win: the summary states that the merge runs before model, max_tokens, stream, and messages are set. The test file covers reserved-field precedence, and the PR description cites {"model":"x"} as a case. Met. Residual uncertainty: the code summary does not name reasoning_effort in the precedence list, although the issue and the PR description both require it. The precedence of reasoning_effort rests on the PR description and the general test description. I could not inspect the code to confirm it.

[#1491] Invalid values fail at construction: the summary states that invalid, empty, non-object, and array JSON throw during construction. The test file covers not json, array, null, and number. Met. The PR description states that the error names the setting and does not echo the value. This is not confirmed by the summary.

[#1491] Unset behavior: the test file checks the request keys when the setting is unset. The test checks keys, not the exact serialized bytes. The issue asks for byte-for-byte unchanged output. This is a minor evidence gap.

[#1491] Acceptance check for OpenRouter provider object: the test file covers the configured provider fields being sent. Met.

Assessment: all listed coding requirements appear implemented and tested at the reviewed head. Residual uncertainty remains for reasoning_effort precedence and the exact error text and byte-level unset behavior.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All source and test changes connect to #1491. src/providers/openai.ts adds the setting. test/openai-extra-body.test.ts verifies it. .env.example, the README env block, and the provider header document it. These changes are in scope.

The test-count updates in README.md, the localized READMEs, AGENTS.md, and scripts/docs-sync.state.json are generated documentation output. They reflect the added tests, so they are connected to this PR.

Discrepancy: the PR description reports a docs sync from 2,500+ to 2,600+ tests. The reviewed diff summary shows 4,000+ to 4,100+ in these files. This mismatch affects the accuracy of the PR description and generated counts. It does not add unrelated product behavior, so it does not fail scope. The count value could not be verified from the available evidence.

No unrelated product behavior is shown. The ignored_files SVG assets are excluded by rule !**/*.svg and were not inspected.

🔴 Extra fields disappear in managed installs

When OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY comes from the shell, OpenAIProvider receives no value in CLI-managed installations. The Compose worker environment allowlist drops it, so provider routing and other configured fields never reach requests.

Learn more

The CLI starts the LLM worker through Worker Compose. Its environment allowlist admits only named process variables into the generated worker configuration. OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY is absent, so a value exported in the shell never reaches this constructor. Values in a selected .env file can still pass through the separate filtered env file.

Example: Export OPENAI_API_KEY, OPENAI_BASE_URL and OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY='{"provider":{"order":["deepinfra"]}}', then start the managed CLI. The worker sees the key and URL but sends requests without provider.

Recommended fix: Add OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY to AGENTMEMORY_WORKER_ENV_ALLOWLIST and test that the generated Compose environment carries the value from workerEnvironment.

🟡 Unset reasoning effort accepts extra override

When OPENAI_REASONING_EFFORT is unset, OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY can set reasoning_effort despite its reserved status. OpenAIProvider only overwrites that field when the dedicated setting exists, changing model behavior unexpectedly.

Learn more

The request normally omits reasoning_effort when the dedicated setting is unset. Spreading extra fields adds the property before the existing conditional assignment, which leaves that property untouched unless the dedicated setting is truthy. The documented precedence promises that agentmemory owns the field even when it does not explicitly send it.

Example: With OPENAI_REASONING_EFFORT unset and OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY='{"reasoning_effort":"high"}', a chat request includes reasoning_effort: "high" instead of omitting it.

Recommended fix: Remove reasoning_effort from the parsed extras before merging, then add it only when OPENAI_REASONING_EFFORT is configured. Test both the configured and unset cases.

Comment thread README.md

Reasoning-class models (`o1`-style with `<think>` blocks) can return empty `content` with a `reasoning` field your local server may not surface. If extractions come back blank, switch to a non-reasoning model first. The `OPENAI_REASONING_EFFORT=none` env can also disable thinking on Ollama Cloud thinking models that mirror the OpenAI reasoning schema.

To send an endpoint-specific request field, set `OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY` to a JSON object; it is merged into every chat request, and the `model`, `messages`, `max_tokens`, `stream` and `reasoning_effort` that agentmemory sets always win. For example, `OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY={"provider":{"order":["deepinfra"],"allow_fallbacks":false}}` pins one OpenRouter provider so its prompt cache stays warm.

🔍 OpenRouter configuration applies only through OpenAI route

The native OpenRouterProvider bypasses OPENAI_EXTRA_BODY. Provider pinning requires configuring OpenRouter through OPENAI_API_KEY and OPENAI_BASE_URL.
