azure-data-tables: async list_entities(query_filter=...) leaks kwarg to aiohttp transport causing TypeError

[rgant]

• Package Name: azure-data-tables
• Package Version: 12.7.0
• Operating System: Linux (Azure Functions) and macOS (local repro)
• Python Version: 3.13.11 (Azure), 3.14.2 (local)

Describe the bug

The async TableClient.list_entities(query_filter=...) leaks the query_filter keyword argument through the pipeline to aiohttp.ClientSession._request(), which rejects it with TypeError: ClientSession._request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'query_filter'.

The kwargs flow through:

1. azure.data.tables.aio._base_client_async.py:320 — return await self._transport.send(request, **kwargs)
2. azure.core.pipeline.transport._aiohttp.py:346 — result = await self.session.request(..., **config)
3. aiohttp/client.py — self._request(method, url, **kwargs) raises TypeError

This affects only the async client (azure.data.tables.aio). The sync client is not affected.

query_entities(filter) works as a workaround because it accepts the filter as a positional argument, so it does not appear in **kwargs.

To Reproduce

import asyncio

from azure.data.tables.aio import TableServiceClient
from azure.identity.aio import DefaultAzureCredential

async def main() -> None:
    endpoint = "https://<your-storage-account>.table.core.windows.net"
    async with (
        DefaultAzureCredential() as cred,
        TableServiceClient(endpoint=endpoint, credential=cred) as svc,
    ):
        table = svc.get_table_client("<your-table-name>")
        async for entity in table.list_entities(query_filter="PartitionKey eq 'mypartition'"):
            print(entity)
            break

asyncio.run(main())

Error:

TypeError: ClientSession._request() got an unexpected keyword argument 'query_filter'

Expected behavior

list_entities(query_filter=...) should filter server-side and return matching entities, the same as it does with the sync client. The query_filter parameter should be consumed by the SDK and not forwarded to the HTTP transport layer.

Additional context

• azure-core version: 1.39.0
• aiohttp versions tested: 3.12.15 and 3.13.4 (both fail)
• Workaround: use table.query_entities("PartitionKey eq 'mypartition'") instead
• Stack trace from production (Azure Functions on Python 3.13):
