- Around line 1035-1045: Keep the synchronous tool execution path outside
asyncio.run: update the caller around _execute_single_native_tool_call_impl so
synchronous calls invoke available_functions[func_name] directly without
creating an outer event loop. Preserve shared parsing and result-processing
behavior with the asynchronous path, while allowing MCPToolWrapper.run and its
_run implementation to manage their own asyncio.run call.
- Around line 1064-1068: Update async_tool_runner in
_execute_single_native_tool_call_async to use arun only when the tool overrides
BaseTool._arun, not merely when inherited arun is callable. For sync-only tools,
fall back to available_functions[func_name] so their run implementation executes
and existing error handling remains unchanged.

Sync @tool tools fail on async path
High Severity
_tool_supports_native_async treats every Tool as natively async because Tool always overrides _arun. Sync @tool functions then go through await tool.arun(), and Tool._arun raises NotImplementedError instead of running the wrapped function. On kickoff_async with native function calling, the common @tool case now fails and returns an error string instead of executing.

Usage-limit path skips events and hooks
Medium Severity
_prepare_single_native_tool_call now returns immediately when max_usage_count is already reached. That skips ToolUsageStartedEvent, before/after tool hooks, and ToolUsageFinishedEvent that previously still ran on both the sync and async native paths.

When the async native tool path (_ainvoke_loop_native_tools) calls the sync _handle_native_tool_calls, which calls tool.run() -> asyncio.run(), the asyncio.run() call crashes with 'RuntimeError: asyncio.run() cannot be called from a running event loop' when the agent is invoked from an already-running event loop (e.g. via ainvoke()). The fix adds three async methods: 1. _ahandle_native_tool_calls() — async variant that uses asyncio.gather instead of ThreadPoolExecutor for parallel tool execution, so async tools are properly awaited rather than run through asyncio.run(). 2. _aexecute_single_native_tool_call() — async variant that calls await tool.arun() instead of tool.run(), avoiding the nested asyncio.run() crash. 3. _ainvoke_loop_native_tools() now calls _ahandle_native_tool_calls() instead of _handle_native_tool_calls(). The ReAct executor (_ainvoke_loop_react) already handles this correctly via aexecute_tool_and_check_finality() -> tool_usage.ause() -> await. Fixes crewAIInc#6611
CodeRabbit review feedback: _aexecute_single_native_tool_call was a near-verbatim copy of _execute_single_native_tool_call (parsing, tool resolution, usage limits, cache, events, hooks) with only the tool execution line differing. Extract the shared body into _execute_single_native_tool_call_impl, an async method that takes a tool_runner callable. The sync wrapper passes a sync runner and calls it via asyncio.run(); the async wrapper passes an async runner that uses tool.arun() and awaits it directly. Also removes the redundant function-local `import asyncio` from _ahandle_native_tool_calls (asyncio is already imported at module scope on line 10).
…y true async tools Two regressions flagged in review are fixed: - The async native path awaited `tool.arun()` whenever callable, but sync-only tools inherit `BaseTool._arun` which raises `NotImplementedError`, so async agents could not run ordinary sync tools. Async execution is now gated on `_arun` actually being overridden (or the wrapped function being a coroutine function), and sync-only tools are offloaded with `asyncio.to_thread`. - The sync native path wrapped shared logic in `asyncio.run()`, which broke tools that drive their own event loop (MCP wrappers call `asyncio.run` inside `_run`). The sync path now executes the tool inline and shares only parsing, cache, hook and event handling with the async path via extracted helpers. Adds regression tests for both cases.

Fixes #7630
What this PR does
Adds async variants of
_handle_native_tool_callsand_execute_single_native_tool_callthat useawait tool.arun()instead oftool.run(), and updates_ainvoke_loop_native_toolsto call them.Why it's needed
When the async native tool path (
_ainvoke_loop_native_tools) calls the sync_handle_native_tool_calls, which callstool.run()→asyncio.run()(inside a worker thread), a genuinely async tool is never awaited on the running event loop. The ReAct executor (_ainvoke_loop_react) already does this correctly viaaexecute_tool_and_check_finality()→tool_usage.ause()→await. Full details, repro script, and root-cause line references in #7630.What changed
_ahandle_native_tool_calls()— async variant that usesasyncio.gatherinstead ofThreadPoolExecutorfor parallel tool execution, so async tools are properly awaited rather than bridged throughasyncio.run()._aexecute_single_native_tool_call()— async variant that callsawait tool.arun()instead oftool.run()._ainvoke_loop_native_tools()now calls_ahandle_native_tool_calls()instead of_handle_native_tool_calls().The sync path is unchanged.

Medium Risk
Touches core agent tool execution and parallel batching semantics (cooperative async vs threaded sync); sync path preserved but shared refactor could affect edge cases around caching, hooks, and max usage limits.
Overview
Fixes async native function calling so tools run on the active event loop instead of the sync path that bridged through
tool.run()/ nestedasyncio.run()._ainvoke_loop_native_toolsnow calls_ahandle_native_tool_calls, which mirrors the sync batching rules (parallel batches skipped whenresult_as_answerormax_usage_countapply) but runs eligible parallel calls withasyncio.gatherand_aexecute_single_native_tool_callinstead ofThreadPoolExecutor.Single-call execution is refactored into shared helpers (parse/resolve, cache read/write, hooks, events) with injectable
