How to Mock OpenAI Tool Call Messages in Python
Create an assistant message with a function tool call in OpenAI's chat format, useful for testing and mocking.
from openai import OpenAI
def mock_tool_call(tool_name: str, arguments: dict) -> dict:
"""Simulate a tool call message in OpenAI style."""
return {
"role": "assistant",
"content": None,
"tool_calls": [
{
"id": "call_" + "a1b2c3d4e5f6",

Routes a tool call name to the correct Python handler function using a dictionary lookup, returning an error for unknown tools.
def get_name():
return {"name": "Alice"}
def get_age():
return {"age": 30}
def get_email():
return {"email": "alice@example.com"}
handlers = {
"get_name": get_name,
"get_age": get_age,
"get_email": get_email,
}
def route(tool_call):
handler = handlers.get(tool_call["name"])
