value_mismatch_error

Invalid value: expected 'function' but received an incompatible input. Please check the input value.

This error has been identified and solved.

Reason

The error you're encountering, specifically the "Invalid value: 'tool_call'. Value must be 'function'" with a 400 status code, is likely due to an incorrect configuration or misuse of the API parameters.

Here are the key reasons for this error:

  1. Incorrect Role Specification: The OpenAI API requires that messages with the role 'tool' must be a response to a preceding message with 'tool_calls' or the correct role specification. Using 'tool_call' instead of 'function' violates this requirement[4").

  2. API Documentation Mismatch: There might be discrepancies between the code you're using and the latest API documentation. For example, OpenAI's documentation may specify 'function' instead of 'tool' or 'tool_call', and using the wrong term can lead to this error.

  3. Sequence of Messages: The error can also occur if the sequence of messages in your API requests is not maintained correctly, particularly when dealing with chat or conversation contexts.

These issues indicate a misalignment between your code and the expected API parameters or sequence.

Solution

To fix the "Invalid value: 'tool_call'. Value must be 'function'" error with a 400 status code in the OpenAI API, you need to ensure the correct usage of API parameters and roles. Here are the steps to resolve the issue:

  • Check and correct the role specification in your API requests to use 'function' instead of 'tool_call'.

  • Ensure that the sequence of messages in your API requests is correct and follows the specified roles.

  • Verify that your code aligns with the latest OpenAI API documentation.

Key corrections:

  • Use 'function' instead of 'tool_call'.

  • Maintain the correct sequence of messages.

  • Align your code with the latest API documentation.
