When does this happen?
IF When using LangChain's tool calling with an LLM, if a tool parameter is defined without a type hint, the LLM may return a dict instead of a plain string, causing a pydantic ValidationError.
How others solved it
THEN Define tool parameters with explicit type hints, e.g., `category: str` instead of `category`. For complex parameters, use Pydantic BaseModel to define the argument schema. Ensure the tool's argument schema matches the structure the LLM is expected to output.
Define tools with typed parameters:
```python
@tool
def GetNewQuestion(category: str) -> str:
return f"What is your experience with {category}?"
```
Instead of:
```python
@tool
def GetNewQuestion(category) -> str:
...
