Fix OpenAI providers on structured output strict mode

Fix rerankers to get a string query.

New AnthropicVertex provider

The new AnthropicVertex provider allows you to interact with Anthropic models on Google Vertex model garden.

Inspired by @specialtactics in discussion #569

class MyAgent extends Agent
{
    protected function provider(): AIProviderInterface
    {
        return new AnthropicVertex(
            pathJsonCredentials: 'GOOGLE_FILE_CREDENTIALS_PATH',
            location: 'GOOGLE_LOCATION',
            projectId: 'GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID',
            model: 'ANTHROPIC_MODEL',
            parameters: [], // Add custom params (temperature, logprobs, etc)
        );
    }

Fix tool array in ToolCallMessage

More efficient tool search with fuzzy and tokenized keywords

Tool search inject system prompt to ensure the agent behave as expected

Introducing Tool Search

By default every time the provider is invoked all tools are loaded and transmitted to the backend LLM. Complex production agents connected to email, calendar, drive, CRM, and and multiple MCP servers can easily reach hundreds of tools, each carrying its name, description, parameter schema, and usage hints.

This release introduces the global middleware ToolSearchMiddleware that you can attach to your agent:

class MyAgent extends Agennt
{
    ...
    
    /**
     * Define the global middleware.
     */
    protected function globalMiddleware(): array
    {
        return [
            new ToolSearchMiddleware([
                MyCustomTool::make(),
                ...CalculatorToolkit::make()->tools()
                ...MCPConnector::make([...])->tools()
            ]),
        ];
    }
    
    /**
     * Provide core tools to the agent.
     */
    protected function tools(): array
    {
        return [
            // A list of core tools that the model always has available
            TavilySearchTool::make(...),
        ];
    }
}

Improve the Workflow Executor design

Introducing Parallel Branches

This release introduce the ability of the workflow component to run parallel branches: https://docs.neuron-ai.dev/workflow/loops-and-branches#parallel-branches

When you want to call the execution of multiple branches in parallel, you need to return the special event ParallelEvent from your node.

use NeuronAI\Workflow\Events\ParallelEvent;

class DocumentProcessing extends Node
{
    public function __invoke(StartEvent $event, WorkflowState $state): ParallelEvent
    {
        // Node logic here...
	
        // Finally return a ParallelEvent
        return new ParallelEvent([
            'text' => new TextProcessEvent(),
            'image' => new ImageProcessEvent(),
        ]);
    }
}

Chat History improvements

In the process of fixing a bug ( #523 ) we worked on a more efficient algorithm to manage the cut of the message history if it goes out of the context window. The intent was to minimize the context loss when cutting.

The context window cut must be considered the last resort to prevent fatal errors with provider APIs. Before reaching the limit of the context window you should use summarization to compact the context into a single message as a new starting point.

In order to handle all edge cases, the internal trimmer can identify a cutting point slightly less aggressive than the initially identified. To make sure the agent conversation stays in the limit, you should configure the context window limit in the agent chat history with a margin of 5%-10% from the actual limit of the underlying model.

If your model works with a 200K context window, you should instantiate your chat history with 190K for example.

Evaluation improvements

We introduced a couple of built-in rules for Ai as a judge assertions:

            ['type' => 'text', 'text' => 'Dynamic context...']
