description_length_error
The description provided for a function or component is too long and exceeds the acceptable limit. Please shorten the description to comply with length constraints.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The status error you are encountering with the Azure OpenAI API, specifically the error message indicating that the "functions.0.description" is too long, could be due to several reasons:
Exceeding Character Limits
The description or the input provided for the "matching_auto_reply" function may be exceeding the character limits set by the Azure OpenAI API. API endpoints often have specific limits on the length of input fields to prevent abuse and ensure performance.
Incorrect Formatting or Structure
The format or structure of the input data might not be aligned with what the API expects. For example, if the API requires a specific format for the list of questions and answers, any deviation could result in an error.
API Version or Model Constraints
The error could be related to constraints or limitations of the specific API version or model you are using. Different models or API versions may have varying restrictions on input lengths and formats.
Overloading or Token Limit Issues
Though less likely for a 400 error, it could be a symptom of broader issues such as token limit exceedances or other pre-call checks that fail before the API request is processed.
Solution
To fix the 400 status error in the Azure OpenAI API due to a description being too long, you need to ensure that your input complies with the API's constraints. Here are the key steps to resolve the issue:
Shorten the description to adhere to the maximum length limit, which is typically 64 characters for function call descriptions.
Verify that the input data is correctly formatted and structured according to the API's requirements.
Check the API version and model-specific constraints to ensure compliance.
Key Actions:
Shorten the description.
Validate the input format and structure.
Ensure compliance with API version and model constraints.
