Fix BadRequestError
in GraphRAG
✅ Solution
BadRequestError in graphrag often arises from incorrect data types or invalid values passed to the OpenAI API, particularly within parameters like `max_tokens`, `previous_response_id`, or content violating audit policies. To fix, carefully inspect the data being sent to the OpenAI API, ensuring all parameters conform to the expected data types and ranges as defined by the OpenAI documentation, and implement robust input validation and sanitization to prevent invalid or inappropriate content.
