MCP events

This section describes WebSocket events and fields for qwen3.8-omni-flash-realtime. Other base events and fields use the common protocol documented above. Required fields are required when their containing object is present. IDs are opaque strings; do not rely on their lengths, prefixes, or generation rules. arguments and output are strings whose contents require JSON parsing. MCP connections, discovery, and calls are subject to service quotas and timeouts.

mcp_list_tools.*

Event type	When emitted
`mcp_list_tools.in_progress`	Tool discovery starts for an MCP server.
`mcp_list_tools.completed`	Discovery succeeds and `allowed_tools` filtering completes.
`mcp_list_tools.failed`	Discovery fails, times out, or exceeds service limits.

All three require string fields event_id (unique event ID), type (event type above), and item_id (associated mcp_list_tools item). in_progress can arrive before session.updated. For completed and failed, conversation.item.created containing the final tool list or error arrives first, followed by the status event with the same item_id.

{
  "event_id": "opaque_event_id",
  "type": "mcp_list_tools.completed",
  "item_id": "opaque_item_id"
}

response.mcp_call_arguments.delta

Field	Type	Required	Meaning
`event_id`	string	Yes	Unique event ID.
`type`	string	Yes	`response.mcp_call_arguments.delta`
`response_id`	string	Yes	Parent Response ID.
`item_id`	string	Yes	Current `mcp_call` item ID.
`output_index`	integer	Yes	Zero-based index in the parent Response output array.
`delta`	string	Yes	Incremental JSON-string fragment; concatenate in event order.
`obfuscation`	string	No	Optional obfuscation string; ignore when assembling and parsing arguments.

{
  "event_id": "opaque_event_id",
  "type": "response.mcp_call_arguments.delta",
  "response_id": "opaque_response_id",
  "item_id": "opaque_item_id",
  "output_index": 0,
  "delta": "{\"city\":\"杭",
  "obfuscation": "opaque-value"
}

response.mcp_call_arguments.done

Requires event_id, type, response_id, and item_id (strings), output_index (integer, same meaning as above), and arguments (string). type is response.mcp_call_arguments.done. arguments contains the complete JSON-encoded arguments and is authoritative.

{
  "event_id": "opaque_event_id",
  "type": "response.mcp_call_arguments.done",
  "response_id": "opaque_response_id",
  "item_id": "opaque_item_id",
  "output_index": 0,
  "arguments": "{\"city\":\"杭州\"}"
}

response.mcp_call.*

Event type	When emitted
`response.mcp_call.in_progress`	Arguments are complete and approval has been granted or is unnecessary; the MCP call starts.
`response.mcp_call.completed`	The MCP call succeeds.
`response.mcp_call.failed`	Connection, protocol, or tool business error; approval rejection or timeout; call timeout; or cancellation.

All three require event_id, type, and item_id (strings), and output_index (integer). item_id identifies the current mcp_call; output_index is its index in the parent Response output array.

{
  "event_id": "opaque_event_id",
  "type": "response.mcp_call.in_progress",
  "item_id": "opaque_item_id",
  "output_index": 0
}

MCP conversation items

These objects are types of the item field in events, applicable to Qwen3.8-Omni-Flash-Realtime.

          "required": ["city"]
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Initial mcp_call item

When the model selects an MCP tool, this item appears in response.output_item.added.item and may also appear in conversation.item.created.item; see the corresponding item branches under response.output_item.added and conversation.item.created. response.output_item.added example:

{

  }
}

  "item_id": "opaque_approval_id",

    "name": "maps_weather",
    "arguments": "{\"city\":\"杭州\"}",
    "call_id": "opaque_call_id"
  }
}

Final mcp_call item

After a call reaches a terminal state, the item appears in response.output_item.done.item and in the final parent response.done.response.output snapshot; see the corresponding branches under response.output_item.done and response.done. Successful call:

{
  "event_id": "opaque_event_id",
  "type": "response.output_item.done",
  "response_id": "opaque_response_id",
  "output_index": 0,
  "item": {
    "id": "opaque_item_id",
    "type": "mcp_call",
    "status": "completed",
    "call_id": "opaque_call_id",
    "server_label": "amap",
    "name": "maps_weather",
    "arguments": "{\"city\":\"杭州\"}",
    "output": "{\"content\":[{\"type\":\"text\",\"text\":\"...\"}],\"isError\":false}"
  }
}

Failed call:

{
  "event_id": "opaque_event_id",
  "type": "response.output_item.done",
  "response_id": "opaque_response_id",
  "output_index": 0,
  "item": {

    "arguments": "{\"city\":\"杭州\"}",
    "error": {
      "type": "tool_execution_error",
      "message": "MCP tool call failed (call_timeout)."
    }
  }
}

MCP errors

MCP errors can occur during tool discovery or tool execution. For discovery errors, see error under the mcp_list_tools branch of conversation.item.created; for execution errors, see the mcp_call branch of response.output_item.done.
