[Bug]: OpenAI GPT-4 tool error

[abhijitpal1247]

Describe the bug

In a group chat setting, where some agents have tools associated with them. I frequently face this error:
openai.InternalServerError: Error code: 500 - {'error': {'message': 'The model produced invalid content. Consider modifying your prompt if you are seeing this error persistently.', 'type': 'model_error', 'param': None, 'code': None}}
I am facing this error repeatedly whenever within a group chat, many agents have different tools attached to them.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a group chat with multiple agents
2. Bind tools with some of the agents.
3. Initiate the group-chat
4. It takes a long time to get the response back and then the received response is: openai.InternalServerError: Error code: 500 - {'error': {'message': 'The model produced invalid content. Consider modifying your prompt if you are seeing this error persistently.', 'type': 'model_error', 'param': None, 'code': None}}

Model Used

gpt-4

Expected Behavior

The tool should have executed without any issues

Screenshots and logs

Additional Information

pyautogen 0.2.28
openai 1.16.2
Python 3.10.7
OS Windows 11

Would you be able to provide us with a minimal example/script we can run to reproduce what you're seeing? I'm interested in seeing how you initiated the llm configs, agents, group chat, etc.

You're a retrieve augmented chatbot. You answer user's questions based on your own knowledge and the
context provided by the user.
If you can't answer the question with or without the current context, you should reply exactly `UPDATE CONTEXT`.
You must give as short an answer as possible.

User's question is: what does AutoAlign do

Context is: AutoAlign�s Sidecar solution is the first AI firewall that dynamically interacts with LLMs to make them safe, secure, and effective. Now, make any LLM safer, smarter, and stronger.
AutoAlign technology provides the most robust generative AI security so enterprises can leverage safe and effective AI solutions across their business. Now any enterprise can confidently deploy generative AI tools that strengthen business goals, user safety, and compliance requirements.
INTRODUCING
The first dynamic AI firewall
Sidecar dynamically interacts with, and continually evolves alongside, LLMs to provide consistent security. This ensures model outcomes align with business requirements, user safety, government compliance, and ultimately, their brand promise.
Sidecar�s automated ability to scale and interact with models allows business to spend time fine-tuning models for performance or continuously tweaking guardrails for safety and security.
Sidecar�s intelligent LLM monitoring for LLMs ensures continued alignment with business goals. Companies can easily operationalize their policies, enabling use cases even in highly regulated environments while staying compliant with government regulations.
Sidecar ensures model outcomes align with business requirements, user safety, government compliance, and ultimately, brand promise. Spend more time focused on performance and driving ROI.
Detect and mitigate ungrounded answers, and warn or highlight unfounded content.
Detect and prevent sophisticated prompt injects and jailbreaks, reducing reputational risks, data leakage and other harms.
Operationalize compliance requirements and policies with Alignment Controls that enable direct mapping to regulations and internal controls.
Upgrade foundation models and infrastructures with your Alignment Controls and monitoring in place. Choose the appropriate controls and customize for your requirements.

[WaelKarkoub]

@abhijitpal1247 thanks! Looking at your example, when you register a function, the caller and the executor should be different (at least from looking at the docs), so I would recommend you setting the executor to the user proxy/ other agent. Let me know if that works for you. https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/main/notebook/agentchat_function_call.ipynb
