@copilot Still getting this error when making the request $ treeagent --model-type openai "hello" |
I can see the issue persists in your environment. My fix should ensure all properties are in the required array, but it's not working for you. Let me help debug this. Can you try:
python -c "
import sys
sys.path.append('.')
from src.modelAccessors.openai_accessor import OpenAIAccessor
import inspect
print(inspect.getsource(OpenAIAccessor._prepare_schema_for_openai))
"Look for the comment
The fix is working in my test environment, so there might be a caching issue or path problem preventing the updated code from being loaded.
I've made an improved fix in commit Key improvements:
Please try:
If you still see the error, please run this diagnostic and share the output: python -c "
from src.modelAccessors.openai_accessor import OpenAIAccessor
from src.dataModel.model_response import ClarifierResponse
from pydantic import TypeAdapter

os.environ['OPENAI_API_KEY'] = 'test'
with patch('src.modelAccessors.openai_accessor.OpenAI'):
accessor = OpenAIAccessor()
adapter = cast(TypeAdapter, TypeAdapter(ClarifierResponse))
schema = adapter.json_schema()
fixed = accessor._prepare_schema_for_openai(schema)
props = list(fixed.get('properties', {}).keys())
req = fixed.get('required', [])
print(f'Properties: {props}')
print(f'Required: {req}')
print(f'Content in required: {\"content\" in req}')
missing = [p for p in props if p not in req]
print(f'Missing from required: {missing}')

... Found the root cause! The issue wasn't just missing properties - it was invalid default values in the schema. Looking at your debug output, the schema had: "content": {
"default": null,
"title": "Content",
"type": "string"
}This is invalid - a required string field can't have Fixed in commit
The fix ensures the "content": {
"title": "Content",
"type": "string"
}This should resolve the OpenAI validation error. Please pull the latest changes and try again. |

Perfect diagnosis! You identified the exact issue I missed. OpenAI requires complete required arrays for ALL objects in the schema, not just the top-level. Looking at your debug output:
Fixed in commit
The fix now ensures every object like "required": ["content", "artifacts", "type", "follow_up_ask"]This should finally resolve the OpenAI validation error. All existing tests pass and I've added specific tests for the nested object scenario. |

@copilot 2025-09-28 16:02:55,527 [INFO] Executing root-task (REQUIREMENTS) using openai "Invalid schema for response_format 'response': In context=(), 'additionalProperties' is required to be supplied and to be false." This means OpenAI now requires every object in your schema (not just the top-level, but every object in $defs or nested within properties) to have: JSON JSON JSON |
I can see the schema structure looks much better now - However, your debug output is truncated. Could you clarify:
The partial output looks promising, but I'd like to confirm the recursive fix is working completely before considering this resolved. |

Perfect analysis! You're absolutely right - OpenAI now requires Fixed in commit
The fix ensures every object like this: "FollowUpResponse": {
"properties": { ... },
"required": [ ... ],
"type": "object",
"additionalProperties": false // ← Now added automatically
}This combines with the previous required array fix to achieve complete OpenAI compliance. All tests pass including new comprehensive test coverage for the additionalProperties requirement. |

Great catch! This is a new OpenAI validation rule - The error "accessor_type": {
"$ref": "#/$defs/AccessorType",
"default": "mock"
}Fixed in commit
The fix handles all OpenAI compliance requirements:
This should resolve the latest validation error. |

@copilot You flatten unions and then force required = all properties. That makes conditional fields (like follow_up_ask) always required and also trips on empty-object fields (e.g., metadata, parameters) that lack properties/required. Your fixer also overwrites existing, valid required lists (from your own schema) instead of extending them. You strip anyOf/oneOf everywhere. You don’t need to—top-level oneOf works fine if each branch is an object with additionalProperties:false and a complete required array. Empty-object shapes (e.g., {}) must be explicit: {"type":"object","additionalProperties":false,"properties":{},"required":[]}. |

... You're absolutely right! My aggressive "strictification" approach was fundamentally flawed. I've completely rewritten it based on your excellent feedback. Fixed in commit Problems you identified - all addressed:
New targeted approach:
Results:
Much better approach that works with OpenAI's requirements instead of fighting them. |
