agent: ai_agents
When does this happen?
IF Agent fails to execute tool with error: 'the Action Input is not a valid key, value dictionary.'
How others solved it
THEN Define tool's args_schema using a Pydantic BaseModel with explicit Field descriptions for each parameter. In the agent's task description, instruct the LLM to output a valid JSON object matching that schema without extra string escaping. Avoid passing JSON strings directly in tool config; let the LLM generate the raw dictionary.
class ArxivSearchInput(BaseModel):
author: str = Field(description="Author name")
title: str = Field(description="Paper title")
max_results: int = Field(default=10)
class ArxivTool(BaseTool):
name: str = "arxiv_search"
args_schema: Type[BaseModel] = ArxivSearchInput
def _run(self, **kwargs) -> str:
return search(kwargs)
# In task description:
# 'Provide a valid JSON object with keys: author, title, max_results. Do not wrap in quotes.'Related patterns
