When does this happen?
IF Using with_structured_output on ChatGoogleGenerativeAI with a Pydantic schema containing a List field (e.g., List[str]) causes a 400 error: 'items: missing field'.
How others solved it
THEN Avoid using List fields in the output schema for Gemini models. Replace List[str] with a single string field (e.g., steps: str) and parse the delimited output manually, or switch to a different LLM provider that supports nested arrays in structured output.
class Plan(BaseModel):
steps: str = Field(description="comma-separated steps")Related patterns
