  • Ensure key is in correct RS256 format
  • Check PROJECT_ID is correct for your account
  • Regenerate keys if necessary

Integration Not Available

Symptoms: Service not found errors, Integration disabled messages

Cause: Integration not enabled in Paragon project or LIMIT_TO_INTEGRATIONS restriction

Solution:

  • Enable required integrations in Paragon dashboard
  • Remove or update LIMIT_TO_INTEGRATIONS environment variable
  • Verify integration is available in your Paragon plan
  • Check integration-specific requirements

User Authorization Required

Symptoms: OAuth flow errors, Permission denied messages

Cause: User has not authorized the integration or scope issues

Solution:

  • Guide user through OAuth authorization flow
  • Check required scopes for the integration
  • Verify callback URLs are configured correctly
  • Re-authorize if tokens are expired

Server Connection Timeout

Symptoms: Connection timeouts, SSE endpoint not responding

Cause: Server not running or network connectivity issues

Solution:

Local Model Performance Issues

Symptoms: Slow response times, High memory usage, System freezes

Cause: Model size exceeds hardware capabilities

Solution:

  • Use smaller model variants (e.g., Llama 3 8B instead of 70B)
  • Enable quantization for reduced memory footprint

  • Consider using cloud models for complex tasks
  • Check system requirements for selected model

Privacy Mode Not Working
