input_validation_error
Invalid input: expected an array with minimum length 1, but received an empty array.
This error has been identified and solved.
Reason
The error you are encountering, "Invalid 'messages.tool_calls': empty array. Expected an array with minimum length 1, but got an empty array instead," is due to the following reasons:
Required Field: The
tool_calls
field in themessages
array is a required parameter for the OpenAI API, particularly for certain models like GPT-4. The API expects this field to contain at least one element, but in your case, it is empty.API Request Structure: The error indicates that the structure of your API request does not match the expected format. Specifically, the
messages
array item at index 4 does not have a validtool_calls
array, which is necessary for the API to process the request correctly.
This issue arises because the API is strictly enforcing the presence of tool_calls
in the request payload, and an empty array does not meet this requirement.
Solution
To fix the "Invalid 'messages.tool_calls': empty array" error, you need to ensure that the tool_calls
field in the relevant messages
array item is not empty. Here are the key steps:
Populate the
tool_calls
array: Ensure that thetool_calls
field contains at least one valid tool call.Check the request structure: Verify that the
messages
array is correctly formatted and that each message includes the necessarytool_calls
if applicable.Review API documentation: Refer to the OpenAI API documentation to ensure compliance with the expected request format.
By addressing these points, you can correct the structure of your API request to meet the requirements of the OpenAI API.
