OpenAI Assistants v2 — Guardrails and Fix Patterns

🧭 Quick Return to Map

You are in a sub-page of Agents & Orchestration.

WFGY Global Fix Map — main Emergency Room, 300+ structured fixes

WFGY Problem Map 1.0 — 16 reproducible failure modes

Think of this page as a desk within a ward.
If you need the full triage and all prescriptions, return to the Emergency Room lobby.

Use this page for Assistants API v2 threads and runs when you hit tool JSON errors, missing citations, vector store mismatches, or state flips across retries. The map below routes each symptom to an exact WFGY fix.

Open these first

Visual map and recovery: RAG Architecture & Recovery
Retrieval knobs: Retrieval Playbook
Traceability and schema: Retrieval Traceability, Data Contracts
Hybrid order control: Rerankers
Deploy order: Bootstrap Ordering

Core acceptance

ΔS(question, retrieved) ≤ 0.45
Coverage ≥ 0.70 for the intended section
λ convergent across three paraphrases and two seeds

Fix in 60 seconds

Measure ΔS
Compare question to retrieved and to the intended anchor.
Stabilize thread and run
Pin assistant_id, freeze tool list and JSON schemas, and store index_hash with the thread.
Apply the module

Retrieval drift or wrong file selected → BBMC and Data Contracts
Tool call loops → BBCR bridge and timeouts with strict schemas
Missing or wrong citations → Retrieval Traceability

Verify
Three paraphrases meet ΔS and coverage. λ stays convergent.

Typical Assistants v2 breakpoints → exact fixes

Files attached but the wrong chunk is used
Index metric mismatch or analyzer drift.
Open: Embedding ≠ Semantic
Run state flips between retry and resume
Version skew or missing fences.
Open: Pre-Deploy Collapse
Tool JSON rejected with vague errors
Relaxed schemas in prompt but strict in tool spec. Align both and echo schema at each step.
Open: Prompt Injection
Hybrid retrieval underperforms the simple retriever
Two stage query split without rerank.
Open: Query Parsing Split, Rerankers

Minimal Assistants v2 pattern with WFGY gate

Thread:
  - Attach files with stored index_hash
  - Record vector_ready and analyzer info
Run:
  - Retrieve(k = 10, unified analyzer)
  - Prompt headers in fixed order with cite-first
  - Model call
  - WFGY gate computes ΔS and logs λ
  - Stop when ΔS ≥ 0.60 or λ divergent and return fix tip

Gotchas

Mixing per file embeddings and global store without normalization.
Recreating assistants on every request changes tool order and plan.
Streaming partial results before schema checks leads to silent corruption.

When to escalate

Persistent ΔS ≥ 0.60 after chunk and metric fixes Open: Retrieval Playbook
Live flips with identical inputs Open: Pre-Deploy Collapse
