Genkit结合Retriever上下文与工具调用Gemini触发VertexAI错误

我用Genkit实现了一个可查询Firestore的工具，用来响应特定类型的提示。但同时使用Retriever返回的上下文，并且让Gemini调用自定义工具时会触发报错，注释掉prompt.generate()里的context参数后，错误就会消失。

错误信息 #

示例代码 #

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, // 注释掉这行错误就消失，换不同工具也一样
  tools: [myTool],
});

解决方案 #

这个错误源于Vertex AI Gemini API的限制：不允许在单条消息中同时混合FunctionResponse和其他类型内容。当同时传入context和tools时，Genkit可能将检索到的上下文与工具调用响应打包到同一条消息中，触发了API的校验规则。

可以通过以下两种方式修复：

1. 将检索上下文合并到Prompt输入中 #

不再使用context参数，而是把检索到的文档内容提取后，直接拼接到用户消息或新增的输入字段里：

// 提取检索到的上下文文本
const contextText = docs.map(doc => doc.content).join('\n---\n');

const result = await myPrompt.generate({
  input: {
    message: `${userMessage}\n\n参考上下文：\n${contextText}`,
    today: format(new Date(), "yyyy-MM-dd"),
    user: {
      id: request.auth?.uid || "anonymous",
      name: request.auth?.token.name || "anonymous",
    },
  },
  tools: [myTool],
});

2. 用Genkit Flow编排流程 #

通过自定义Flow，先执行检索操作，再将上下文作为Prompt输入的一部分传入，确保消息结构符合Gemini API要求：

const myFlow = defineFlow(
  {
    name: "myFlow",
    inputSchema: z.object({
      userMessage: z.string(),
      request: z.any(),
    }),
    outputSchema: z.string(),
  },
  async (input) => {
    // 先执行检索
    const docs = await retrieve({
      retriever: myRetrieverRef,
      query: input.userMessage,
      options: { limit: 5, k: 3 },
    });
    const contextText = docs.map(doc => doc.content).join('\n---\n');
    
    // 调用Prompt并传入合并后的输入
    const myPrompt = await prompt("myBot");
    const result = await myPrompt.generate({
      input: {
        message: `${input.userMessage}\n\n参考上下文：\n${contextText}`,
        today: format(new Date(), "yyyy-MM-dd"),
        user: {
          id: input.request.auth?.uid || "anonymous",
          name: input.request.auth?.token.name || "anonymous",
        },
      },
      tools: [myTool],
    });
    
    return result.output;
  }
);
