Structured output sometimes not getting followed in agent generate()
I have an agent taht uses generate() to output a structured response and I notice that this sometimes results in an erro that gets logged as this in my generate() function onError handler:
It looks like the output is undefined based on the error we catch in our try-cacth around this workflow step:
For context, we're using gpt-4.1 and here is the agent code that lives in one of our workflow steps:
This happens pretty sparsely but is still a real issue since this is a critical step in the workflow. Some ideas I have that may help (though still unsure) are:
- using .strict() in my schema definition
- defining
- using a different model provider in
Please let me know what the fix here is, thanks!
