ChatGoogleGenerativeAI: Invalid JSON payload received

[m-khashaba4]

Checked other resources

• I added a very descriptive title to this issue.
• I searched the LangChain.js documentation with the integrated search.
• I used the GitHub search to find a similar question and didn't find it.
• I am sure that this is a bug in LangChain.js rather than my code.
• The bug is not resolved by updating to the latest stable version of LangChain (or the specific integration package).

Example Code

export async function init(commit: string) {
    const model = new ChatGoogleGenerativeAI({
        model: "gemini-2.0-flash",
        temperature: 1.0,
    });
    
    return (
        await PullFromLangSmith<typeof ModelInput, typeof ModelOu1put>(
            `node:${commit}`,
            ModelInput,
            ModelOu1put,
            model,
            true
        )
    )
}

@m-khashaba4 Hello there! I'm here to help you with any bugs, questions, or contributions. Let's tackle this together!

I found a similar open issue regarding the GoogleGenerativeAIError related to the JSON payload when using ChatGoogleGenerativeAI with LangChain.js. The suggested solution is to ensure that the JSON payload you are sending is correctly formatted and adheres to the expected structure. The payload should be an array of BaseMessage objects, and each BaseMessage object should be correctly instantiated, such as using HumanMessage for human inputs ^[1].

In your case, the error message indicates that there are unknown fields, "title" and "additionalProperties," in the JSON payload. These fields are not recognized by the API, which is causing the error. You should review the JSON payload being sent to ensure it only includes valid fields as expected by the ChatGoogleGenerativeAI model.

If you need more information on the valid fields for the 'parameters' in the JSON payload, they include fields like model, temperature, maxOutputTokens, topP, topK, stopSequences, safetySettings, apiKey, apiVersion, baseUrl, streaming, json, and convertSystemMessageToHumanContent ^[2]. Make sure your payload aligns with these specifications.
