Genkit using retriever context and tools causes error


I am trying to implement a tool with genkit that queries a firestore database to support responding to certain types of prompts. It errored out when I added it and I have been able to narrow down the problem to a combination of using the context from a retriever with Gemini calling one of the tools I made available to it.

The error is:

{"severity":"ERROR","message":"Unhandled error Error: Vertex response generation failed: ClientError: [VertexAI.ClientError]: Within a single message, FunctionResponse cannot be mixed with other type of part in the request for sending chat message.\n at /xxxxxx/node_modules/@genkit-ai/vertexai/lib/gemini.js:514:17\n at Generator.throw ()\n at rejected (/xxxxxxx/node_modules/@genkit-ai/vertexai/lib/gemini.js:50:29)\n
at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)"}

The error goes away when I comment out passing in the context to the prompt generate method. Here is the sample code:

    const myTool = defineTool(
  {
    name: "myTool",
    description:
      "When a question about the calendar bookings or reservations is asked, this tool will load the calendar booking data.",
    inputSchema: z.object({
      beginDate: z
        .string()
        .optional()
        .describe("The beginning date to load the calendar data for."),
      endDate: z
        .string()
        .optional()
        .describe("The end date to load the calendar data for."),
      member: z
        .string()
        .optional()
        .describe("The member ID or name to filter the calendar bookings by."),
    }),
    outputSchema: z.string(),
  },
  async (input) => "haha Just kidding no joke about for you! got you"
);

    const myRetrieverRef = defineFirestoreRetriever({
      name: "retriever-id",
      firestore: getFirestore(),
      collection: "calendar/vectorIndex",
      contentField: "content",
      vectorField: "embedding",
      embedder: textEmbeddingGecko,
      distanceMeasure: "COSINE", // 'EUCLIDEAN', 'DOT_PRODUCT', or 'COSINE' (default)
    });

    const docs = await retrieve({
      retriever: myRetrieverRef,
      query: userMessage,
      options: {
        limit: 5,
        k: 3,
      },
    });

    const myPrompt = await prompt("myBot");
    const result = await myPrompt.generate({
      input: {
        message: userMessage,
        today: format(new Date(), "yyyy-MM-dd"), // "2022-01-01
        user: {
          id: request.auth?.uid || "anonymous",
          name: request.auth?.token.name || "anonymous",
        },
      },
      context: docs, // when I comment out this line the error goes away regardless of what tool I include, I've tried a few different versions of it
      tools: [myTool],
    });

Here is the console information from genkit running the prompt when it errors out because the context was provided. I should note that I've tried with gemini-1.0-pro as well before switching to try the new 1.5 versions.

Solution

  • It just seems that right now that it is not possible to mix user and function content: gemini.js link

    function assignRoleToPartsAndValidateSendMessageRequest(
    ...
      if (hasUserContent && hasFunctionContent) {
        throw new GoogleGenerativeAIError(
          "Within a single message, FunctionResponse cannot be mixed with other type of part in the request for sending chat message.",
        );
      }
