Conversation
before_llm_call hooks were never invoked on the async acall() path of the five native providers, meaning a blocking hook (PII gate, spend cap, policy check, prompt-injection filter) silently failed to block the request whenever the caller used acall() / kickoff_async. Fixes crewAIInc#6739
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesNative OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Gemini, and Azure async completion paths now run Knowledge configuration, queries, Crew query wrappers, and storage saves now support metadata filters and document metadata. Synchronous and asynchronous tests cover both paths. Async hook enforcement

Suggested reviewers: Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The PR fixes async guardrails for native LLM providers, but empty metadata mappings may still be omitted when saving knowledge records in both sync and async paths. This is a bounded correctness risk that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

Problem
before_llm_callhooks are the only interception point that can abort an LLM call — returningFalse(or raisingHookAbortedvia the reducer) is supposed to stop the request from ever reaching the provider. This works on the synchronouscall()path of every native provider, but none of the five native providers invoke the hook on their asyncacall()path.The consequence is not just "the hook didn't observe the messages" — the request is actually issued. A guardrail hook written to block a call (PII gate, spend cap, policy check, prompt-injection filter) silently permits it whenever the caller uses
acall()/kickoff_async.Coverage of

Solution
Add the same
_invoke_before_llm_call_hookscheck to each native provider'sacall()method, placed immediately after message formatting (matching the sync path's position). The hook method itself is synchronous (it callsdispatch()which is sync), so it can be called directly from the async path without any changes to the hook infrastructure.Changes
